----Phil has done a great deal of work to return this car to "as delivered" condition. Im guessing he wont be hanging any stripes on it anytime soon. The car will be super impressive without them.....Bill S

You are correct Bill. There will be no stripes this time around and yes it is a pain to return one to pure street configuration. Actually much easier to go the other way. I'm very lucky that the trunk insert and dash did not get the S/C treatment. Original Armstrong shocks are present too. Try to find exhaust manifolds. They don't have a Ford part number. After a couple of misadventures in my old Cobra ( csx3239 ) I swore I'd never own one without a roll bar but times have changed and originality is more prized today than ever before so even the roll bar had to go.

Fitting new inner fenders and going through some of the pieces. The original inners are just too rough to satisfy me. The belts are slightly different side to side.

It is going to be gorgeous. And with your attention to detail about Day1 correctness, combined with how original the car was when you started, it will likely be one of the best original-restored 427s in the country. Looks great!

What I believe to be the original block is a "cammer" block. I've heard of this before but this is the only case I know of.

A little progress. Chrome is back, inner fenders in and a few other details. Car is ready to buff but we almost forgot the splitter.

Phil, good to see you last weekend. The Cobra looks beautiful. Funny how the non SC cars have found their place. They are just beautiful in the street set up.
