King's Cobra Upper Rad Hose
The Factory Five upper and lower Rad hoses are marginal at best. The owner had already upgraded the lower hose with a product from another vendor. We've been tasked with coming up with a solution for the upper hose. SCORE! Online shopping gets us a number of parts and we had them shipped to the shop. We settled on the Gates 21211, cutting it into 3 pieces and making our own, custom upper Rad hose.
Link with price to the hose we used from Rock Auto. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=2595&cc=0&pt=10068&jsn=278
O'Reilly Auto Parts has a great online catalog and search function for their hoses. We use them often. Their cost was $18.99 for the same hose. As you saw though, we ordered 4 different hoses and the cost on a few of them was nearly double, locally at O'Reilly

i.e.427 Turn Signal Sytem Improvements
Our turn signal system keeps getting better. The Generation 1 hub works really well. But we continue to do our best to manage cost and increase the performance of the turn signal unit. To that end, we have come up with the Generation 2 hub. It cancels a little smoother, uses less raw material and is easier for us to machine. This will allow us to push a cost increase out further with the rising cost of material and machine time. We've also revised the angled spacer used to mount the turn signal unit and come up with a part that matches the turn signal switch better and also uses a more cost effective material that is easier/less expensive to machine.

Type 65 Coupe Cockpit Panel Final Install
In record time, about 3 days, we got our panels back from the powder-coater. Now we're ready to install the interior panels for the final time. Mrs.427 steps up and helps this feeble old guy with the bad back, to get them all in place and pop-riveted in place. Thanks to the Mrs.!

Prepping For Powder-coat
This time, we fit all of our cockpit panels in preparation for powder-coating. In the process we circle back to get the wheel spacers the owner installed fit properly so they will accept the American Racing wheels we'll be using.

Adding a Tilton 3 Chamber Reservoir to Our Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe
We start by removing the single reservoir our Type 65 had installed on it when we got it and add this new reservoir from Tilton. We go through some.................. stuff, trying to get it all plumbed in. But in the end it all works out just fine.

New Mexico to California, the Rest of the Trip Home
We head out from our first nights stay in Big Spring, Texas heading towards New Mexico. The next morning, packed up and ready to go, we travel towards Arizona staying in the small town of Williams. We have dinner with the former Mayor of Williams. A new day brings us to day 4 of our trip back to California and we almost feel like we're home. Day 4 wraps up with us home, safe and sound.

Texas Headed Home Day 1 Total Solar Eclipse
We head out and bid farewell to San Marcos, TX. Heading West, we hope to catch a glimpse of the once in a lifetime total solar eclipse that Texas may see. Our path home takes us to an area the local news has said, "may give us a view of the eclipse". With cloud cover most of the way this morning, we pull off the road in the County of LLano. Just as the clouds start to scatter, the eclipse starts. Follow along.

Texas Spring Meet..... Here We Come!
We head out on Easter Sunday to travel East towards Texas. Taking a leisurely 4 days to get there, we travel many of the back roads and highways. This gave us a chance to see parts of the States we had never been through before. Mrs. i.e.427 and myself really enjoyed the time in the truck, despite all of the rain we endured the first 3 days. We wrap up this video in San Marcos, TX. strolling the lot where all of the Cobras from around the Country came together.

Side Mount Garage Door Opener & High lift
On our last trip to Texas, we picked up a door opener for our shop door. We mount this a bit different than the conventional opener. It's relatively inexpensive vs the standard side mount opener and for our purposes, works just as we need it to.
