    Randall,

    i know i have already asked you to try to get some up to date photos of the cars being built at HST. I am also having Shelby Enterprises build a 427 all aluminum engine for me. i would love to see what the shop looks like with all the great engines being built? Should be easy to get since I believe the engines are being produced in Las Vegas not at HST.


    Thanks

    Conrad

    Ron,

    Good idea i will call them Monday. Also i want to know if when they put the CSX# on the plate that says Cobra on the body if they will put on the engine number underneath it?

    There really isn't a spot for it. In the "old days" only the CSX2xxx plates carried an engine number.

    :cigar: I've been waiting since Oct for my engine very frustrating to actually get it together, hopefully this is the week. Very slow coming to say the least. 54 weeks for the car to get done now 27 weeks so far for the engine WOW!

    Well my engine was running on March 31 in the AM now the boys are just waiting for Dyno time. Progress is being made but it's still slow going, I do think that I am getting closer to completion although it does happen at a snails pace. :doh: :whistle:
