----Phil,,,Ive been waiting patiently for your next post. Thanks!!! Cant wait to see her done. The seat picture brings back memories of my cousins 65 (serial # 3003) comp car that I was too stupid to buy when offered to me. His car was surreal but I still like bone stock street versions best!!!......Bill S

Phil, thank you for the current shots. I can't wait to see this car in person some day. The street versions have really captured everyone's attention since so many were modified and replicas are nearly all S/C models.

I would like to have more pics to post but I keep getting delayed by little things.The new wiring harness should show up mid July and that should get us close to the end. Bought a set uf Sunburst wheels recently and the engine starts going together this weekend. I too really like the clean look of the street cars and it seems they have gained in popularity of late. Sorry you missed 3003 Bill. Tim, I hope to get the car out some when finished.

Like everything, the S/Cs have been done to death (real and replicas) and now the money wants the unusual cars, the pure street versions. I've seen at least one new CSX 4000/6000 built to street specs.

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

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.
