Clifford
Congratulations!
I HATE you. (My wife however thinks that you're absolutely wonderful!)
I'm still sorry I never managed to get a bid in, and, yes, given the numbers of 428s, how often they come up, Hurst cars prices etc etc I know that while many people might think you paid a bit too much (myself included) I would also have paid too much! Well done and congratulations again. (Yes I am jealous as hell - and, yes it is a bit of a dog, but keep in mind what she will look like. The body-work will be a pain but the engine is easy.)
I'm absolutely thrilled that it will stay as a 428 and not a Cobra chop - thank you very much for that.
If I can help IN ANY WAY please do not hesitate to ask, phone, e-mail. I have NO mechanical expertise at all but I am sympathetic, I can buy beer and my shoulder is both comfortable and water-proof!
Can't wait to hear progress reports, can't wait to see her finished.
If I might be so bold as to suggest: Have a detailed chat with Andy Sheperd about how to improve the car (eg.: engine improvements, air flow, cooling improvements etc.). If you're doing major work you might as well improve it BEFORE it gets back on the road.
Best Regards
