Hope all is well and going just as we all desire

SN65 said:Hi All,
Third, we reviewed the oil filter, oil cooler routing. We haven’t received the oil cooler yet, but we figure it will mount in front of the air conditioner condenser. The oil filter itself will mount to the inner cowl panel on the driver’s side. At this point I have to say that I don’t really care for the appearance of the anodized fittings and the braded SS hoses that came with the kit. Don’t get me wrong, they are very high quality items and they should work very well, but they don’t really match anything else on the entire car. Maybe if I keep the hose ends and just trade out the hose for the non-braded variety it will be less “flashy”. I guess, if I want to go off the deep end and also drive Wayne totally insane, I could paint them all flat black to match the look of the rest of the fittings.

If its titled as an 03 is it going to a vin tag on the dash, 5 mph bumpers and all that other legal stuff? I say title it as a 65, it makes life much simpler.Stang2Man said:So was the final decision made to title as an 03 Cobra or a 65 Fastback? I bet your insurance and tags would be cheaper if title as a 65.
On the other hand if you title as an 03 Cobra you'll have the backup of the VIN for warranty work (HEHEHE)

Hi E,Edbert said:I agree with you, the red/blue -AN fittings would look out of place if they were just used on the oil cooler. However if you used them throughout the project I'd think it would look great. You've already left the stock engine compartment theme behind anyhow, I say go for it. Maybe S2M can hook you up with a sales-drone from Aeroquip.
Hi TN,Thenemesis said:man your getting close.. i bet you got the jitters seeing it come together lol if only i could afford A. a 03 cobra B. a 65 fastback and finally C. to pay all the people to work on it and have a place to work on it.. lol VERY nice sn65.. whats the next project gonna be? a convertible.. that be awesome
no_3 said:'65? '03? So many other questions, like what era clothes are you going to wear when you drive it? Are you going to listen to the Beach Boys or Gangsta Rap?
SNIP....

I could make the SS braided hose look as if it belongs, but the red and blue anodized hose fittings would look totally out of place.
I will talk it over with Wayne and see which direction we want to go.

Loup-garou said:The anodizing comes off quick enough in the bead blast cabinet. I did the same thing with a Ford Motorsports dipstick handle that was anodized blue - it looked out of place under the hood of my '65 (gold & black engine paint). I sprayed the formerly anodized surfaces with a satin clear finish to protect against corrosion.
Just a thought.
