Kobra Karl...

* for the 4 poster lifts there are drip pans available that lay between the two ramps, in either plastic or stainless.

* for the 2 poster you take a large sheet of viscuine plastic with 2 bungee cords at each end that attach to the upper car underbody area fore and aft . the plastic then hangs closely to the underneath side of the car, i call it my plastic diaper.

* fortunately none of my cars leak outside of a drip or two now and then , but you never know when something will spring a leak somewhere.

* shelby made 4 GT 350 convertibles in 66 (about a dozen continuation cars years later from left over parts retrofitted). 3 of those 4 originals are left for sure, maybe all 4 (different reports about that...and earlier reports that 6 were originally made were flalse, with saac now saying only 4) . my car is a clone of a 66, all shelby parts plus some upgrades (5 spd, more engine mods etc) but is NOT a shelby serial..figure i save $150k or more and can drive the car ..LOL...kinda like my Superformance replica, eh ? (one of the original 4 sold for 185k about 2 yrs ago and another is going thru an auction in ft lauderdale in feb). there was only one prototype 67 convertible made , no production cars in 67...convertibles in volume did not start til 68.
