Hey Bill, Nope, it is still blue. Had to make a choice, assemble my 427 or work on the 289. I may deliver it to NH with the paint still on and the stripper in the box.

Hey Sal, thanks very much for your offer. I am not going to worry about small details like the radiator. CSX2498 had the same exact radiator as my 427 so no big deal. I failed to mention my 427 has the original style 4" round tube chassis. A CC member Richsd, did a kirkham and changed it to be mostly original. I think that is one of the nicest cobras I have seen. If my car looks half that good I will be happy.

I worked on the headers & side pipes today. I had to fab a new #4 header tube and trim all the headers back 1.5" as the side pipes were too far away from the side of the car. Now over to the drivers side.


best regards & thanks again, karl
