Thanks Luis, coming from someone with as much attention to detail as you, I appreciate it. Yes for sure you have lifetime Weber 24/7 tech support and will miss the side drafts! I still remember our ill-fated drive & shock tower debacle!
It's time to sell my E9

Yes, it is quicker off the line and howls like a banshee when accelerating, but not as big a banshee as yours.
You might go here....
Or, if you want some real vintage boating fun, my 1929 boat is for sale! I'll trade you straight across..

Beautiful, if I don't find something in pony size, that era GTO or 442 is on the radar.
Well, Steve, if you're ever thinking about a trip out to the Pacific Northwest, I feel like I'd need to sponsor your visit in return for some hard-earned knowledge (much of which you've already provided in your extensive online messages!) put towards me finishing my E9 upgrade. Maybe you want to come to our July event - perfect time to visit Seattle and escape Florida!
I saw that E9 convertible in person.
It is at the Technik Museum in Speyer, Germany. When I was visiting there, I just stood there and thought..... WTF!!!!
I had the same thought about 'how can that thing stay together' - without having a literal ton of body reinforcement installed. LOL
And on the other shoe (following along in the mode of this thread) - I have had a 68 Mustang Convertible GT since 1979.
Drove that same car when I was in high school and stayed in the family since then. I took it to Seattle in 2004 or so after my father passed away. I had it TOTALLY restored in 2006 and drives great, so to speak.
But, that being said - it does not compare at all to the 2002 or E9 in how it feels on the road.
Even after it was restored (with all new suspension and such) - I call the steering wheel in the Mustang a 'suggestion device'.
After I had the Mustang restored, it did behave on the road much better than it did before, but...
1960's Detroit engineering (no matter in how good a condition) does not compare at all to how my (not restored) 2002 and (at that time not restored) 2800CS drove.
Not even close.
But - the Mustang is absolutely excellent at cruising along the (smooth) roads in a leisurely manner. Sounds like that may be more of what you are looking for now...
Depending on what you want to do - can't go wrong with either angle - Good luck in your search
