An airplanes tail number stays with the plane throughout its existence, unless maybe it is transferred out of the country. The Shelby liveried DC3 / C47 should be traceable by its tail number. I was able to locate my Grandfathers WACO F2, bought new by my Great Grandmother in 1931 to its present owner, it still carried the same tail number even though it started on the east coast and ended up on the west coast.

The copper is significantly heavier. While I was visiting the Kirkhams a few years ago I was asked to open the trunk lid on a copper skinned Cobra, it was very heavy!

Dang spell check!

There is a recommended mounting position for the shoulder belts, the shoulder belts should be anchored level with the drivers shoulder height when seated in the vehicle. You could also anchor the belts lower and have the straps drape over a bar (roll bar) that is even with the drivers shoulders.

CSX6137, AVONs.....

Same problem as the others are having, I even reduced the size of the image!

AVONS are an excellent choice for either the 427 or 289 variants of the Cobra, you will not believe the difference in the quality of the ride!

You might want to include CSX6000 Series Continuation Cobras as well, they are basically the same car, the only difference being when Superformance took over construction vs SAI. SAI started 6000 Series production and Superformance took over after Shelby's passing.

It would be worthwhile to de-solder the individual parts, repair them and solder everything back together.

Yes, both photos are very revealing!
I also like that you can plainly see the Harrison placard on the radiator.

Nice, Weber 48 IDM Weber's and a Spaulding ignition!

That's him, he's had some very interesting cars over the years. His brother Jack raced the Birdcage and was an accomplished go-cart when he was younger.

I use Competition Cams stainless steel roller rockers under stock stamped steel valve covers, no spacers are needed.

I believe this was the Mk1 GT40 that a Mr Bair of Ohio was seriously burned in while driving on a public road after the fuel cell ruptured and the rear tires flung fuel onto the hot exhaust, it nearly killed him. Fran Kress acquired  the remains and rebuilt the car. Sorry I don't have my registry in front of me for the chassis number but the OHIO plate leads me to believe this is that GT40. If my memory is correct Mr Bair went after Ford for a product liability suit regarding the fuel cells. Both JD and I know Mr Bair.

Jim,

Did 2138 have 48 IDMs on it?
