I also do want to add a HUGE thank you to the many many many forum members that answered a slew of my questions along the way !

This would have been a nightmare without all of your help!

Wow....looks phenomenal. I just put the old interior back in my 76 after doing floor pans, and was thinking how drab it looks. Yours gives me inspiration and something to look forward to down the road. Enjoy.....

Jeff,

I have the same Cooper Cobra's as you and I wanted to get your opinion on Road noise. I did have BF Goodrich tires previously and the car was fairly quiet. A few months of driving on these Cobra's and I am noticing an increase in tire noise.

Brought them back to the dealer, they are properly inflated and are wearing correctly. Everything in the suspension is rock solid and I have brand new Bilstein shocks installed.
Do you notice the same with the Coopers?

BTW, Looking forward to seeing your Car at Plastic.

I love the feel of the tires, but as for road noise, I have kinda loud exhaust (I like it that way!) and the "3 tons of Dynamat"....I don't really notice any noise from the tires.....

I really like them though.....and great price too!

Really a great looking car I like the color as well. Great work and if that's the same car in your avatar you need to update it to reflect what your car really looks like.
