Hey guys
Sounds like fun at Wakefield Race Track in October.
Don't know about big bonnets scoops though!!
Seriously, I am having trouble with the standard Homebush scoop. The Victor Jnr. has put the carby float bowl top right at bonnet height.
I need a bigger scoop. Doug has a scoop that has a 65mm openning - bonnet to centre of scoop openning. I have checked measurements and even with a recessed air filter I am to high at the back.
I need a bigger scoop. Have been told Rob Baker has a mould for a bigger scoop.
Any ideas anyone. Perhaps a competent aluminium roller user??
I can see I will be well entertained when in Wakefield Park.
Talk soon

PS. I have found the colour for Guardsman Blue. Its a PPG colour and my local paint shop has had the code sent to them from PPG head office in Sydney.
This just proves this site works. I received a response from the states about a week ago via email. The guy there gave me the USA code.
He also sent a fair bit of detail about the early Shelby cars and colours including the FIA 289 colours - Viking blue etc.
Since then Shelby American have responded on my question for colour. I am really amazed and appreciative!!
Kris Kincaid there sent an entire file of colours and archive photos in colour of Shelby's personal car and Guardsman Blue car.
Looking at the colour, I think there were a few at Wakefield in this colour. Well colour matched of perhaps they have the paint code also.
Now I see Superformance have the Guardsman blue colour but don't know if its the same colur code. CTC in Warrigal may tell me
I spoke to Brian down there last week but the email came in the same day from the states.
Again off to work - customers waiting
This really is a great site and I can see the value in promoting the site to all Oz Cobra owners/members. Great suggestion.
Only .....days to 'Weekend at Bernie's...
Talk soon - really must get back to work.
