Gday Dean Seeing as it's the truth, I'm trusting she wont find my simple observation and attention to detail offensive; it certainly wasn't meant to be. Then again, she has been off her medication lately... (the colour does seems to vary though; anything between scarlet and irridescent tangerine - but I'm certain that 'Rocket Red' is her current favourite )

Looks great, Glenn Just one little bit of constructive criticism though; shouldn't the dog with the red eyes that light up when you apply the brakes be mounted inside the rear window? cheers, jack

hmmmm...... lots of flack; lots of support; but no FE grille maybe those FE owners are on to me - maybe they also know the FE grille is elegant simplicity... (all I am trying to do is to combine the best elements of both models; i.e., an FC but with an FE grille...) oops, hang on - what's that on the horizon? is it heaps more flack heading my way?? have I just reduced my chances of getting an FE grille to something slightly less than zero??

yeah I know I'm going to cop some stick from some people but I have to at least try... (and anyhow; it could be much worse - it's not as if I'm fitting a pearl white interior or something equally as outrageous, tacky and tasteless... )

geez, the old timers really has set in.... I completely forgot it is the lead-up to Christmas! Kindly disregard any and all denigrating remarks pertaining to FEs, big block 132s (oops! 132 .5), ladies with prams, old biddies, fox tails, 0 - 20mph times measured in hours, etc, etc and apologies to pop for running away with his thread...

When Shelby installed the big block FE series in the Cobra their driver at the time (Ken Miles) came back from it's first test drive white as a ghost and deemed the car virtually undrivable due to the power output.
Kathi, thanks for refreshing my failing memory If Shelby used the same 'big block FE series 132.5' that I'm NOT familiar with [and dont forget that last 0.5; they need every last little bit...] it's no wonder it was 'deemed undriveable due to the power output'.... (probably got rear-ended by a lady with a pram while attempting 0-20mph times...) cheers, jack (ignorantly blissful EXTRA big block FC 138 owner )

Never, ever forget how scared the Shelby test drivers were when Carroll put the FE series motor in the Cobras! Kathi it's embarrassing, but I've already forgotten... tell me again; just how scared were they?
