Went for a 90 mile fall cruise.

Came across a like-minded cruiser with car trouble, so pulled over and hung out until his tow arrived. Lost count of all the honks and thumbs-ups we received.

I'm looking to do this exact thing for my roadster, the stock FFR headlights are not good. But when I look for the Hella Vision Plus 7" Conversion Headlights on say Summit Racing, there are multiple PNs that I cannot tell the difference between.
Is this one the correct one?

Did nothing but wipe the dust off and taking a ride today in southern Pa. Other than a few issues early on, that's all I have to do is wipe off the dust and ride. It's been done for three years and has 12k miles on it. Best, most fun vehicle I've ever owned. I'm glad I ordered the fun package.

Consider calling Mark Reynolds at Breeze (a Forum sponsor). I just installed his LED kit. Awesome and great customer service because he is dedicated to these cars. Might be on sale now?
Drove it 2 hours to the London Cobra Show in 94 degrees heat.

I finished installing the carbon fiber glove box cover and installed all the Classic Instruments "Moal Bomber Gauges" and all the switches.
Changed my 16 year old hood support struts, they were getting weak to the point of not holding it up at times depending on the temperature.
Did some more test & tune driving around the neighborhood.

Test fit. Looks good for room. its sitting on the old sliders with a beach towel folded under it so its sitting a little high..
Only negative is shoulder belt alignment. Would like to have the come straight out from the rear bulkhead & through the seat.

Replaced leaking TKO600 output seal, added a Forte's billet speedo block off, re-filled with Penzoil Synchromesh.
Fingers crossed.

I'm trying to figure that out! It says the gross weight was 2660 but when I look closer the certificate shows 2480 on the rear axle and 180 on the front axle. I had a friend of mine take it there since he has a nice truck and enclosed car hauler and I'm pretty sure he was standing on the front scale. He happens to weigh about 180 lol
So I'm saying 2480lbs with half a tank of gas.

Installed rear wheel well filler panels from Whitby.
It looks much better, "finished" instead of big gaps.Whitby rear filler panel pass.jpg
