Tony came over the week between Christmas and New Years to look at my car. Since it was dark and about 20 degrees, we didn't take a drive, I did start it, and he got to witness my engine overheat for the first time, due to a stuck thermostat.

It was a good thing, because it gave me the added motivation to add the SPAL puller as added protection after replacing the stat. He actually stuck around for another hour or so and helped me trouble-shoot afterwards........hell of a nice guy!

Congratulations Tony. I can still remember the day I ordered my deluxe pallet. You are beginning a life changing and affirming experience. This is the place to be when you do the build. Lots of pictures and even more advice, helpful advice at that. Take pictures and keep your build notes use ziplock bags with index cards so you can sort it out as you disassemble and later reassemble. Once you do it you will want to do another. (somehow that did not come out as I intended.)

Tony,
I have Cobra envy too! Even though I have one it sure would be fun to get to build another.
You are starting on a very rewarding advenure.
Best of luck, Keith

Soooo what color will it be

**Naumoff** · January 16th, 2005, 03:08 AM

It is going to be black. Just like CSX3025.

**Naumoff** · January 16th, 2005, 03:11 AM

Can you tell I've been looking at Cobras way to much. I still Have a framed picture from High school in my garage.

**Naumoff** · January 16th, 2005, 03:31 AM

While I'm up so early this Sunday morning(of course thinking about my Cobra) I tell you some more about what going to be on my car. I put a deposit thursday on a 427 s/o and toploader trans from SA. Bill and staff are very nice poeple. I'm in the process of ordering a set of Trigo wheels. I see the problem with tire selection already. In 15 inch there seems to be two DOT approved. Any resorces on tire will definitly be appreciated. I will tell you that I love the look of the original Cobra and that is what I am going for. So I will sacrafice performance for that. Lets face it the Cobra is totally awesome even in 1966 tire technology.I,m ordering the 3.31:1 posi rear, soft top, heater(My Honey has cold feet)

**clayfoushee** · January 16th, 2005, 07:25 AM

Tony,

Good choices including color. If I ever repaint, it will also be solid black.

Regarding tires, you're right that there are only a few choices in 15's, and none of them are performance-oriented tires. However, if you search CC for threads started by "tireguy" and our man Brent "BB427" over there, you will see there is hope on the horizon. Tireguy is a manufacturer who is in the process of creating a proper 15" tire for Cobras. With any luck, it will be available by early summer.

That sounds great Clay. I have been following the thread and I hope tireguy can work out the bug in the compounds. What tires do you recommend if the timing doesn't work out for me?

**clayfoushee** · January 16th, 2005, 02:21 PM

Most everyone runs BFG TA or comparable Dunlop, and I believe Yokohama now has a tire in the right sizes 245/60 front and 275 or 285/60 rear. Those are about the only ones who make a 15 wide enough for the rear. They're all T-rated or lower.
