Wiers Beach Show

[mudhenk27]

I dropped by the show at Lobster Pound today around 12:00. Had my Hi-Tech but wasn't planning to enter the show because I had an earlier commitment. But then I saw Ron's CSX, Art's green F5, John's SPF, another F5, and Sage showed up with his ERA.

Pretty nice bunch of Cobras (particularly the red ones ) so I decided to stay. Got to do a close comparison with Ron's car, which was my first chance to see a CSX car up close. His is a beauty. The Hi-Tech compares very well, and depending how you look at it, might be a better buy...at least it was for me...it's very cool to be able to say you have an original Shelby, but it comes at a price that I couldn't afford.

I did envy some of the details on his car that need a bit more work on mine. He has hex-head bolts on the gas cap frame, round bases on the hood latches, fuel pumps in the trunk, a puke tank, ferrules for side curtains, and original mag Halibrands.

I can feel Nick smiling when he reads this.

Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise to see everyone and a fun couple of hours.

There may be 10 or more Red AC Cobra's @ the show Now If we can just get mickmate to bring 198 one last time. that would be an Awsome shot ehh?? All our red AC's & 198 in the middle !!! Well it's a nice dream anyway! Hope to see everyone there!! All The Best M8's

Wish that I had timed my visit to New Hampshire better. I was just in Weir's beach about 3 weeks ago visiting my brother. Took my ERA there and as the only cobra in town. Probably will be a while before I end up in NH again.

Good eye for the details Bill. You'll be a "rivet counter" before you know it. Remember though you can't see any of those details when they are driving by. Sounds like a good gathering, sorry I missed it. I did get to see a little gold one run though.

[mickmate]

Hey Sage that may be a possibility if I have it finished and running and the new owner wants to show it off again.

[Silversmith]

Nick, tell 198's new owners that 198 would be in the center of all of 198's offspring. That would make a nice poster for any shop, even the new owners.

[mudhenk27]

Nick, when you say "run," does that mean the engine fired and actually propelled the little gold one down the road?

Bill

[mickmate]

Yes Bill it starts, runs and drives. I was making sure it stopped. If we can get both of Bills red ones there that ups the red count.

[mudhenk27]

I'll see if I can recruit a driver for the SPF

Hi Bill,

I'd be happy to help you with the SPF as I don't think my car will be ready for the cookout
