Installed the new heat extractors today and cleaned up the engine bay a little.

You've been hiding this from us. I love it Doug.
Thanks Brad. It was a 2+ year project. Just after we got started, China flu hit & stalled progress a few times. I started putting shakedown miles on it last fall, then winter hit! It’s good to go for spring now. It’s a damn blast to drive.You've been hiding this from us. I love it Doug.
That the one with the flattie?Thanks Brad. It was a 2+ year project. Just after we got started, China flu hit & stalled progress a few times. I started putting shakedown miles on it last fall, then winter hit! It’s good to go for spring now. It’s a damn blast to drive.
Yeah that’s the one Clay. There’s a pic of the engine a few posts back.That the one with the flattie?
Need to get a video with sound Doug, I'd love to hear it.Thanks Brad. It was a 2+ year project. Just after we got started, China flu hit & stalled progress a few times. I started putting shakedown miles on it last fall, then winter hit! It’s good to go for spring now. It’s a damn blast to drive.
It’s hard to beat the sound of a cammed Flathead. No mufflers, straight 1 7/8“ pipes.Love that sound Doug.
Sounds great, no mufflers, you rebel.It’s hard to beat the sound of a cammed Flathead. No mufflers, straight 2 7/8 pipes.
Blazes down the road 70-75 mph like a champ.
Sound up!
Sounds amazing!!! Well doneSound up!
Thanks for the compliment on the color. There’s a little story to it.Very nice Doug it's just perfect the way it is I dig the color combo just right
I'm having a similar dilemma. Building an AC Cobra replica and I still haven't picked out a color. I've been looking and looking, but nothing really hits me the right way.Thanks for the compliment on the color. There’s a little story to it.
While the car was blown apart for this build I spent over a year trying to decide a color. Didn’t want black, didn’t want red, didn’t want wild “streetrod “ colors..
I spent countless hours on the internet looking at other ‘33 ‘34 coupes & nothing struck me. I wanted something that would pass as vintage, but different than the norm.
Then while looking at ‘69 Mach 1 images, I ran across a ‘69 Cobra Jet with Indian Fire Red paint. My father bought a ‘69 in this color.. In one second, I finally made up my mind! It was a special order color in ‘68 and ‘69. Also available on Fairlanes, Ranchero’s, and Mercury Cougars.View attachment 1829023
Trust me I know the feeling. When it HITS you, you’ll know it instantly. I’ve been following your build. I came “this close” to doing a Cobra build years ago. My realization as to how I drive finally change my mind. I guess I scared myself out of one. For now anyway..I'm having a similar dilemma.

Your government is lying to you
