Scott - Do you happen to know the maker and code of the trunk paint used?
All the trunk paints I have found were water soluble and required a clear-coat to seal them. Even at that they were not very durable..

I really like the look of that enough where I am seriously considering doing the same on my car...

Thanks!

Randy,

I have it somewhere, I'll look it up for you.

I have had no "durability" issues with the paint and I have been in and out of the car quite a bit.

Went to the Pioneer Valley GTO Club's open car show today.

It was in Agawam Massachusetts.

I have never seen so many pristine Goats.

As always though when a GT40 shows up it irritates lots of GM fans!

Scott:
Looking good. I didn't notice that dash treatment at Carlisle, but it looks great in the photos.
It looks like you have an oil temp gauge in the dash, I have one opening left in my dash and it looks like thats what will go there. A friend of mine suggested a vacuum gauge "so I can check my fuel economy", I laughed for about 5 minutes.
Those GTO guys are jealous because you brought a car that can actually corner faster than 25 mph.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Phil

Scott, you should come to the Factory Five Open House this Saturday, but don't show up in the GT. You will have to park outside the gate.

[Scott Calabro]

Too funny Phil!

Great meeting you at Carlisle.

Bill,

The FF guy's I met at Carlisle were real nice folks, perhaps they would not mind a "special guest appearance"?!!

Just kidding.

Scott, i think they would let you in there have been other brand of cobras parked inside with no problems regards Bob

[Scott Calabro]

Thanks Bob.

Today I installed my new Tornado replica dash de mister grille.

It only took 30 minutes and six easy steps...

1). Remove the door check straps from the dash side.
2). Remove the 4 dash attach screws.
3). Pull the dash aft just enough to remove the early type grille.
4). Locate holes and drill new grille.
5). Install the new grille.
6). Imbibe several ice cold Heineken's.

Some pictures of the last cruise of this summer at "Marks Cruise Night" this evening.

At the last count I heard almost 900 cars had shown up!

Shown with 875 is one of her older sisters from Boston.

[Bob Peckham]

Scott, i think i saw that car at the foxboro cruise nite last thursday, if so he sure get's around nice pictures regards Bob

[Scott Calabro]

Yes Bob that is probably the same car.

I think there is at least 30,000 mi on the clock too.

Howard drives it everywhere!
