We should probably leave it under the car cover in the corner of Kevin's shop, but being a drag racer, I'm too stupid and too stubborn to do that.

Alan, I had to laugh 'cause you know I am familiar with that car. It is a beautiful, beautiful car! Like most race cars though, it has a mind of it's own! Jim

I was born December of 1982 and sadly, didn't get to see all the great history other then see photos, videos and get to hear all the fantastic stories!

What! I've got underwear older than you!! Literally! Really! You whippersnapper you. Jim

One of the best thread Hi-Jacks I've seen lately. I thought this thread was about the new 2014 Cobra Jet, not the average age of the human race.

The colors that I have thought about:
Electric Green- In remembrance of my 99 Cobra.
A deeper version of SnakeSkin Green from the Viper
Sour apple green metallic
Liquid silver
School bus yellow-of course with black reflective snake
Deep Impact Blue
Sonic Blue
Orange Beryllium
Camouflage- like CWs but call it the "WarHorse"

I've been playing around in the Mustang Customizer app on my phone to try and decide Base colors and color of the Snake(Wife informed me it has to have that on there)

Like I stated I love learning about "the good ole days" of racing. It always interests me and puts a smile on my face. I get a kick out of the personalities that were out there and the feuds between the Manufactures. I wish I could have lived it first hand. That being said-----this is my "Good ole days". This is the time that I'll look back on years in the future and tell the grand-kids about. The ups and downs. The factory involvements. The people and personalities. The victories and defeats. The behind the scenes stuff. Some of history is repeating itself and in the future people can look back at this as a fond memory. Who knows maybe in 30-40 years people will be strolling through the pits checking out the old 2008-up CJs, COPOs and Drag Packs with some of the amazement that I do for the CJs, Thunderbolts, and Hemis now. The old days were great, it's just that I get to experience this time first hand. There are certainly more "good ole days" still to come for future generations/Racers.
