An early run in April 2022.... much more was to be done at that point *** note that the

Halibrand Cobra 2 wheels had no center caps at this point.

Loads of plumbing, linkage, cleaning and polishing a/o 11/2022 This is a rebuilt and modified Ford 390 FE engine with two

Edelbrock 500 CFM 4BBL's.  The air cleaner had never been fit and required machined spacers to clear the distributor and still be low

enough to eliminate rubbing the bonnet (hood).

After enlarging the gas tank to 22 Gals. and correcting the plumbing, it was time to carpet.  The "cobra" knob is a threaded affair to allow removal the panel to the battery access.
