Ed, do you have a pic of this speedo and tach combination?Sam

Allen, it might. Give it a try. As I mentioned above, I used a 4″ or 6″ cloth polishing disk mounted on one side of a grinder motor. The metal ( alum or SS) will get warm during the polishing process due to the pressure and the friction so I think you’ll need the power and speed of the motor to get good results. Also, wear gloves to hold on to…[Read more]

Allen, save your shoulds and elbows, you’ll need a powered 4″ or 6″ cloth polishing disk.

Allen, yes it will, but if it is a big piece of SS, it will take a lot of buffing. I have polished several pieces of SS using this method.

Roy, have you used jeweler’s rouge (or polishing rouge)? You can get it in sticks at Harbor Freight and Lowes. It comes in various forms (grits) depending on how aggressive you want to be. I’ve used it to polish aluminum and stainless steel parts on my Cobra build. I also used it to polish out a scratch I had in my steering wheel spoke. I used a…[Read more]

Roy, several of the guys on my Cobra site have used GoChecker.com for their static cling decals. I think they will also make custom decals to your spec.(ie numbers on meat balls, etc)  They guys said to call them as they are very helpful.Sam

Paul, great job. It’s guys like you that keep things going. I agree with the above….next time around let us know what is needed. I’m in!!Sam

Found the company that used to handle the Miata MGTF kit. Don’t know if they are still around or not.Allen Motor Cars1204 Knob AveNew Albany, In 47150812-941-8550Sam

There was a company in Indiana ( I think) that used to rep. the Miata MGTF which was made in NZ. I seem to remember that the NZ company had offered its molds, etc for sale, but don’t know what happened. The US rep used to advertise in Kit Car Builder mag. If you have old issues, you’ll probably see their ad.Sam

Hope everybody had a good time and a safe trip home.  I guess nobody took any pics…..

I think this has been posted on eBay before and he was asking $18K and it didn’t sell. Maybe this time.

Ed, I could probably answer, but when I click on the link it says “This page cannot be displayed”. Oh well.Sam

Each year the Cobra guys get together to do the Tail of the Dragon run.

Allen, you mean you intend to take your TDr out in the rain!!

Paul, sorry for your loss. You can take comfort in the fact your Dad
did indeed have a good long run.Sam

Very nice!!!

Paul, I would also like to add my thanks for the work you do to keep this site running smoothly. I haven’t been able to get much done lately on my TDr (still trying to get the Cobra finished) but I check this site daily…sometimes several times a day and am adding to my list of things to do based on the wealth of knowledge I get from the posts…[Read more]

Congratulation Ed. You can now video your first burn out once the Subi conversion is complete.

The site features Cobra, Sebring, and something called a Badlands replica. No MG TD replicas.Sam

Kent, what three companies offer the thick wall 88’s? Thanks.Sam
