Absolutely gorgeous car!
I'll bet it didn't look that nice when it was brand new...

Wow guys, I had no idea this happened as I wasn't in the loop about it. My sincere apologies for the BS that went on. Did it ever get resolved? I didn't have time to finish reading that thread as I am at work. I was just asked to hunt down an original screwdriver.

Anyone notice that the voltage regulator cover is on upside down??
The wire designators are stamped into the cover and it should be pointed at the connector.

I really was asking where the screwdriver for the tool kit is...

I'm glad someone noticed, because I didn't. A new guy (his first week) replaced it before the Palo Alto show. The original one failed sometime after Amelia Island. We used new regulator guts but retained the cover from the old one. When he put it on he thought it looked right with the lettering facing forward, which is incorrect. After I saw that post, I ran out and looked at it because I know which way it should be facing. It will be corrected tomorrow, it's just two screws. |

The air cleaner housing is original, however they have been re-plated. The top is chrome and the bottom is silver cadmium. |

Scott,
When restoring a car of this significance, to this level, what were some of the more challenging aspects of the project ?

This restoration was basically made to look like the day the car was built at the Shelby factory *if* it was sunny and warm outside, everyone involved was in a good mood, no one had gotten in an argument with their spouses, they weren't hungry, and nothing went wrong, etc. It's a little too perfect for many people's taste. That being said, we had to take absolute care that nothing was scratched during assembly. As someone who has assembled an entire 427 Cobra I can tell you that, at the factory, there is no way they could have gotten it together so perfectly and still turned a profit.
I was painstakingly meticulous about the details, such as which fasteners went where - sometimes using the exact nut or bolt in it's original hole. I used a Nikon DSLR camera so my pictures were very sharp. I could use imaging software to zoom in on the pics and identify tool marks so I could determine where it was originally located.
I have restored cars before but never to this level.

Poor Scott, He's gotten whipsawed by a tornado he didn't see or hear coming!
Scott, You did a magnificent job on CSX 3360, from what I can see from these and other photos and You-Tube videos of the first start-up--those are wonderful!
Thanks for noticing the original Trico windshield washer bottle, which I also supplied to Canepa Design. However, that wasn't on loan. I was fairly compensated with other original 427 and 289 Cobra parts in trade for that device.
For those that didn't read the entire other thread, I did get my parts back per our agreement, albeit a tad later than I expected.
Scott's team created a fabulous replica handle of the original screwdriver.
Scott, please tell me how you created that handle and the paint and how did you make the grooves in the handle after it had been painted without chipping the paint???
I have access to a couple of original screwdrivers and will be making the ferrules. I have created an exact replica of the handle as well. Your reproduction ferrule is a little off, but very nice.
I am looking at more flexible BDS decals for the screwdriver. The ones I made don't handle the curves of the handle very well.
For those that followed the previous thread, I want folks to know that Scott had nothing that I know of to do with the delays. Thanks for sharing the photos. Congratulations to you and Bruce for the win at the show. Well deserved!
How did you finish the Sunbursts and the knockoffs? My steel knockoffs rust within minutes of washing them, turning a nice oxidized gold (or brown if you want to be plain about it....)
Jim
