Bill,
I hope to have some new pics posted in a week or so. Too many projects and delays on some small pieces.

Re: Paint on 3353.
 

It's been slow lately since I'm still looking for a few small pieces and haven't had a lot of time to work. I bought a new wiring harness from British Wiring. They make one for a 427 Cobra every few months so it was a pretty long wait. It is supposed to be totally accurate but there are a few problems with it. The brake cylinders were quite a problem with no seal kits for the very late cars which have a .750 bore as opposed to the earlier .625 for which kits are readily available. I finally bought new Girling masters which look different than the originals but are the same dimensions and swapped the guts into the originals. The pistons are a little different but seem to work fine. Pedal pressure seems about right. Someone makes return springs for brakes and clutch so that was easy. We made a new cover for the pedal box because the original was fairly worn out.

Any progress on the cobra?

Re: Paint on 3353.
 

A little but nothing that can really be seen. Just rebuilt the new wiring harness. Lucas originally supplied it and Shelby made changes. I think I have finally addressed those changes. I've finally sourced some hard to find pieces. So there is progress but not enough time lately.

Looking forward to the video to see it done and roaring!
