Well here is my Shelby Cobra. Its a on going project. Solve one problem and another crops up.
Towed to Las Vegas last Thrusday to have work done on the rear uprights by Tom's Motorsports http://tomsmotorsportsinc.com/Welcome.html. Tom discover that Shelby during the construction of my Cobra left out a few spacers which certainly had an effect on the handling. While there I also had them install one of there rear dif covers which allows the alunimum independent rear to breath a little better.
On the first drive in the Cobra when I got it back to Fresno the oil pressure which normally functions at 75-80 pounds dropped to 30 pounds. we got it home and pulled the oil filter. Saw that there was a lot of copper particles mixed with the oil. Not sure where its coming from however the 482 ci Pond aluminum FE is coming out and will be completely taken down to find and correct the problem. One of lifes frustrations.
At the Mini Nats, Sears Point

My 1967 Shelby GT-500 (03217) that I had up till 2003. I miss it!
Me and Carroll Shelby, He really is a nice guy who often gets a bad rap. This was taken by a guy who often writes for one of the Mustang Mags.
