It was a GT350 weekend at the All Ford Day in Sydney on Sunday.

Hi Bob, thank you for the feedback, cheers.

A friend sent photos of a T-Bar shifter with Cobra Logo. However, I'm unable to identify the year of the shifter because the cobra appears to be 68, 69, 70 but the shift base appears to be 64. Could the shifter be out of a Shelby, Mustang or Torino Cobra Jet or other type of Ford? I'd appreciate anyone's input, thank you.

Hi Mike, thanks for the picture of the dash. I'm asking the question for a friend who's building a roaring forties GT40, he hasn't stipulated street or race dash. He is currently undecided but would like more detail of both dash boards. Thank you for your help, cheers.

GT40 - Original/Mk V / GT40 Dash Photos - Order of Gauges
« on: November 14, 2022, 02:06:35 PM »
I've been able to locate some photos of the GT40 dash from this forum from P/1013 & P/1033 however I can't depict all gauges. Does anyone have any close-up photos of dash gauges & the order in which they are fitted to the dash? Thanks for any help, cheers.

G'day fellas, I understand this question may have been discussed a thousand times but here we go. The cause of the bow in the NACA hoods, is it from poor quality with production, wrong jig, bad fibre glass or pressure from the hood springs pushing forward onto the hood pins causing the hood to bow or is it heat from the engine bay etc etc etc or does all the above apply? I'd like to know & there may not be one answer, your knowledge & information will be appreciated, thank you.
I can sense your frustration. Any one of those things or a combination could be the cause of the bow but probably not all on the same hood. There are things that you can do to strengthen the hood but that requires surgery to the structure. There are a number of things you can do to address the symptoms . Some hoods never have a problem.

Thanks Bob, your experience & wealth of knowledge is greatly appreciated. Its good to hear there may have been a numbering of contributing factors to why some hoods may have bowed whilst others didn't, cheers.

^^ Back-up lights look like they have red lenses?

Hi JD, yes its a government requirement for indicators that's why they're amber. My home state of NSW has the 3rd strictest road rules in the world, cheers.

Any chance of posting a better photo of 2020 by itself?
Here you go Richstang, 6S2020 was advertised for sale over twelve months ago here in Australia, I'm not sure if it sold, cheers.

I have never heard CSX2196 being called "Scary" however Ken did name it "The Turd".

It was reported he was referencing its aerodynamic design.  :)
Ned, you're taking the mickey out of me now aren't you ;), it was named the turd, because it got up & $#!+ on everyone else ;D, page 155, 4th edition ;D

Yes, yes now see it, a car for the latte sipping, cappuccino drinking, gender pandering, virtual signalling self indulgent weiner, give me a break. You would have to be a wankersarus to buy one of those.
