Managed to get all the holes filled. Fitting the rings was a bigger job than expected. The ring filler made it much easier. I also bought a tapered ring compressor while it only fits the 4.155 bore makes me wonder why I waited so long to get one.

Down to the last. The nose is all fixed and ready to take to paint.
Here are a few pictures of the Hood scoop crack. I'm not the first person to be there either.

I'll have another couple of days on it.
Had to get it done so I can go back to my motor. Body and engine work just don't play nice together.

I still need to do the spot on the scoop. And we need to talk about the oil cooler horizontal baffle. I'll call you around Tuesday.

Made good progress today. First coat of Poly primer/sealer. Ill give it a good sanding and another coat. That should about rap it up. Ken Tom, The first picture is of the undamaged center section of the radiator opening. I kept running into repair cloth here and there. It could be from piecing toget...

Still moving along on the repairs.

I hope to have it ready to prep for priming tomorrow....depending on how things block out.

Tom, I found the source of the "white stuff" you found on the floor. Your glass body is laminated While it does has quite a thick layer of glass, under the glass is spray foam, for lack of a better term. Then a thin layer of glass. It's this foam that blew up and fell on the floor. This is the unexp...

Tom dropped off his Cobra today. While I had a good time with "show and tell" in my garage I think he was a little nervous with the process. But I can under stand..Its a lot like remodeling the kitchen, things start to look real bad before the get better. While I did find an unexpected issue or two ...

Not much visual to show. All of the cylinders have their notches for the rods to clear. I'm almost finished form fitting the crank scraper. I did have a little disappointment thou. While the 400 2 bolt block has wider and stronger main webbing than the 4 bolt I had planned to use studs instead of bo...

Not sure...it really is almost done except for the assembly. I just have to keep motivated. I figure that I can make good time on it while the fiberglass resin is drying on Tom's car.

Tom asked me to try to attach multi photos..so these are reruns.
