Finally the hoses thawed and she got a bath today.
It’s a nice feeling to have no windshield or door leaks, my 66 had all those.

Hmm I don’t know. The PO said he got these powder coated to look similar to the R. They are the original wheels. I’m gonna get them blasted and painted back to original. Not sure if I could get the centers blasted then return them to the original finish. I think they were a brushed metal finish?

Are the rear hatch latch assemblies adjustable in anyway? I had to shut it several times to get it to latch.

So this cam came with the Cobra as well as a set of lifters. It’s used. Any idea if it’s a good cam? I’m probably going to sell it.

Thanks. Just read it’s basically a drop in cam for a Cobra.

Try replacing the rubber bushing first before readjusting. That's all mine needed and now it shuts perfectly.

Knowing what it is now, is there a market for used cams? I have the lifters as well.

Seriously. Together, they could start a nice kit with some explorer heads and a 65mm TB.

Well I ordered some more polish and pads. I ordered from Adam’s polishes. They get very good reviews from several websites. Once I get the goods I will try to get some in process pics.

I am not apologizing for taking it to Costco to buy dog food. About the only time I’ll go grocery shopping.
