It was a perfect day in Northern California so I took a family picture. A great day to play with my toys and my dog. I sure wish April would hurry so I can boat again. Take care. Doug

The T-bolt and cobra are both clones. The T-bolt is my fastest and my favorite of the bunch, also the nicest restoration. It is a perfect clone with the correct details except both the cobra and T-bolt have stroked 427 tunnel port F.E. motors instead of the medium and high riser motors that would have been correct. The T bolt is a 4 speed and the cobra has a 5 speed Tremec. The Cobra is my least favorite and may be endangered. I feel like a clown driving a clown car and it is way faster than I am willing to drive it. The Shelby is a Cobra Jet and the orange fairlane has a 302 but I have a Cobra Jet on a stand waiting for some time to do the swap.I due have a soft spot for Fords. Thanks Doug

Thanks Bob, The boat does make the cars look small. I'm sure my viper is no match for yours. As you know the correct mods can really improve or a stock v10. I'm flying to Key West on the 8th, I'll try to post some pics. How's progress on your Jag? Doug

The same. I used it this summer and enjoyed it. Now with work being dead I have the time, but no money to really do what i want to it. The car makes 460 RWHP. That works out to about 530 at the crank. Not too bad for a few bolt ons and a re-tune. It also still passes CA emissions
