    Paint is finally going on......

    HP, Fella, never seen one so obviously haven't used one. Helmet? Full face mask? Nose and mouth? Link? I'd like to take a look. Ed/DV

    Paint is finally going on......

    Maicol, etc, I surely didn't mean to sound glib if you will. I have no idea where the "latch info" came from but I assure you I never touched Jays latches, male or female. I pulled frames for over 30 years before Jays small job. I used the best guy I could find, even if he was 150 miles...

    Paint is finally going on......

    ViperJames, just get your self a good set of doors, a hardtop (Optional) and one old and one new set of door weatherstrips and go at it. The best part about it is NOTHING is modified or changed except the weather stripping which can be easily changed back to OEM if needed someday.

    For what it is worth- the latches fit perfectly, after the frame was re-tweaked- darn these guys were good, I never had to adjust the door hinges, not the latches, male or female! Windshield surround, now that was a different story, about five or six times I think. Need a Viper surround...

    Re: Stripe masked on hood The way it is shown for Jays stripes is the way I do all my stripes. Best way to get rid of edge lines too without having to just pour on the clear! The only time I will paint stripes last is if the owner brings me a car and 'then' wants to have stripes on his car...

    Re: Stripe masked on hood Mopar Steve: I'm sorry I missed your post/question; I will normally buff-using Presta and a black 100% wool pad. If I find I have dug a little deep with the 600 I will go to 800 and hit it again. I had more than one painter in my shop that went all the way to 1200 in...

    Re: Stripe masked on hood Pete Brock; Kind of tounge in cheek response, If you didn't know, Brock is one of the famous original Cobra guys. After many attempts at laying out the stripes mathmatically perfect, they still did not look right on the car (Cobra). What they soon found out was the...

    Re: Stripe masked on hood dansauto, please take no offense, for most of my 30 plus years of painting I have never had a booth. Second, to make sure all this is right I do NOT spray 3 coats of clear on anything! Your standard two coats is fine and plenty. Your comments about a dirty paint booth...

    Re: Hood is cleared!: Fellas, not trying to be cute but do not do as I do! My explanation of scraping. Except under great personal peril. You can waste a new paint job instantly and I mean instantly, There is no 'fixing it' once it is done other than a full sanding and a repaint. I will explain...

    2 Venomous; Got me fella! I had no idea that Dupont did that test, but knew they did test it/them some how. A long way away from the original days of IMRON when Dupont said-tounge in cheek mind you,- " yah-you should wear some kind of mask!" Don't mind about it permeating the skin, eye...

    Paint is finally going on......

    Just sent Jay another note Sir; Your point about the mask is right on! I do change masks, not filters but the entire mask after every paint job and I mean between the color and the clears! When a guy shoots any amount of isocyanates, paint, solvents etc., he not only should use a current NIOSH...

    My Viper Days Buddy is Dying - Need to Contact Carroll Shelby

    It only took "ONE" great person to get the ball rolling...Hogdealer. Then a few great people to get the job done. I, the greatest pessimist now believe Danny's car will be done by the 15th. I wish I could be there when he takes delivery. DV ps..some of those cobras do have V-10 viper hearts! ;)

    My Viper Days Buddy is Dying - Need to Contact Carroll Shelby

    Just for general information, there is only one place to buy the Cobra that Danny wants and that was / is through 'SAI', aka Shelby. Maybe another dealer has one in stock, but highly unlikely. In all actuality Kirkham IS, or at least was Shelby's supplier of Aluminum body's. A lot of debate with...

    My Viper Days Buddy is Dying - Need to Contact Carroll Shelby

    A little insight to Dave and 'Family' Kirkhams. For our DVSF IV Cobra event where we raise hell and raise money for Cystic Fibrosis, the Kirkhams "DONATED" including shipping, one awesome 289 FIA all aluminum Cobra. I built or finished it, the Cobra people provided the correct 289 engine and...

    Hello all, DV here. Danny, (who I have never had the pleasure of meeting) also posted this on the largest Cobra forum on the internet, www.clubcobra.com After the normal, 'is this real', it became quite apparent that it is. Between all the Cobra people, and the Viper people this has become a...

    Which cars come close to being better than Vipers?

    Hate to jump in here, but you Cobra lovers, especially the Ohio guys just have to come to London, (Ohio) June 22/23. Very possible that there will be 500....yes 500 Cobras here this year! We've already filled three hotels for this upcoming event. Three days of Police escorted cruises, hi-speed...
