I also used helicoils (8-32) and I ordered stainless steel flat undercut head machine screws. I countersunk the lexan covers and the screw heads are flush with the covers for a clean installation.

Jim, I'm pretty sure this is the part of his post that Pat nailed:

Well, Dear Leader chose to bring this issue up last Friday at a special Ramadan dinner celebration at the White House. This, by the way, from the first sitting US President to not attend the National Prayer Breakfast out of his concern that he might offend someone. Why would he bring this up...

Mine seem OK, Frank, although when I was looking at them the other day I was wondering if they are deep enough because, just eyeballing it, it seems that they may bottom out before the wheel is fully engaged. Too many threads enegaged vs not enough. I do know that I could probably lose about...

Well, gravity has been working more steadily on the car than I have for the past eight years, so it'll be interesting to see how the windshield fits. Ian, is there a course of action you suggest I take to prevent, or at least account for, the sag of the windshield frame? It seems if the...

Ian, I've been meaning to enlist some help to dig out the windscreen, which remains in an unopened crate in my basement. Can you explain in more detail what happens when the spyder sags? Is this a result of shimming the spyder?

So here are a couple whole-car shots from a few weeks ago. I have since fitted the front clip latches, fitted most of the panel gaps, installed the eyebrows, and prepped the doors, spyder and most of the front clip. I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel, as I expect...

When fitting the door tops to the roof I installed the door eyebrows. I agonized over how to install them, and wanted the clean (and waterproof) look of having them glassed and filled into the roof, but I was afraid that I might need to adjust the fit of the eyebrows to the door in the future...

One problematic area that Hershal and I identified way back when we initially fitted the body was where the front edge of the driver's side (:thumbsup:) door meets the roof behind the windshield. Even after sanding the door down past the gelcoat, the front edge of the door was sitting about 1/4...

I got back into the groove on my build back in May with the objective of having the car primed and ready for paint by the end of summer. I've put in a lot of time on panel alignment over the past 12 weeks, probably over 150 hours. I started at the rear clip, and worked my way forward, one...

I do think we all agree that the right to build the mosque exists and needs to be defended but that the mosque is offensive. It has been said that Islam traditionally builds a mosque at the site of an Islamic victory in battle and that this project is a thinly veiled effort to extend a...

Best. Mustang. Evar. THE BOSS IS BACK: 2012 FORD MUSTANG BOSS 302 BRINGS ROAD RACING LEGEND BACK TO THE STREETS | Ford Motor Company Newsroom Ford is building some really nice vehicles lately. I believe this car will be the pinnacle of production Mustang performance. I want one.

I spoke with Hershal a couple weeks ago. I believe he still reads this forum on occasion, but he no longer posts. I think he is still active on one of the Cobra forums with user name Hobcobra.

Congrats Pete! I look forward to the same in a few years. Until then, there's work to be done here. Enjoy your new-found time and freedom and stay busy!

Wow. My best wishes to Mike.

I went to the Registry and told them my front vanity plate had been lost, so they gave me a document to carry in the glove box in the event I get pulled over. Haven't had to try it yet. YMMV.

I always thought you two were meant for each other, just like peas and carrots.

That's a really nice car. So nice that Ian has all the great upgrades available for the CAVs. As I toil away on my build in the summer heat it makes me appreciate the wisdom of buying a road-ready GT40.

If debt exploded under Reagan, it just went supernova under Obama. Just so you are on record about what you really think about the administration's tax policy as outlined above. Reasonable. What do you do for a living that allows you to call this reasonable?
