99 Cobra project

[blacksheep-1]

Built an adjustable bracket for the monitor..



attached the defrost and blower controls..from the back



Painted the panel in "Hammered" metallic grey and installed the panel





Now I need to find some weatherstripping for the surround

[buddy bodean]

Wrap it in leather (or pleather) with Allen head fasteners.

[buddy bodean]

I think Rob could make a good living making Factory 5 kit cars out of old smashed Mustang parts.

But then he'd probably get bored as it'd be too easy for him.

I wasn't happy with the fit of the dash panel so I took it out and started over making a new panel, I also sunk it farther into the dash, I feel much better about this one.
There's a weird looking shadow on the right side of this photo but it does fit flush at the back now.

Looks great

A couple of items that I didn't like and re-addressed....I took out the trunk mat and painted the floor with trunk paint.





I also repainted the front bumper and took out the ugly front license plate bracket, it will never match the car since it has stayed outside in the sun a little too long and is faded.

Any more updates?

[blacksheep-1]

Yeah but I had one of these...(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissen_fundoplication) right after I crewed for Phoenix at Lime Rock , so I've been out of the loop for awhile..coming back soon though.

Should be at Tampa Bay Downs. May need a relief driver though.

If you need someone to take a couple runs in your car for you, I can help you out... just be prepared to not place as well.

I'll keep that in mind....

The project is done...for now, hope you like it, it's not on the cusp as far as the "mod race tire" class goes but it's going to have to be close enough, maybe race seats in the future, that will be about it.

Overview:
99 Cobra, Hypercoil springs, Tokico blue shocks, 2X ball joints, bump steer kit, Brembo, Cobra "R' disc brakes, 3:55 gearing and short throw shifter, subframe connectors and Steeda urethane bushings throughout. Competition alignment and Salleen 18 inch wheels.

Trunk..what you can't see is the subframe connectors and the 31 spline Terminator IRS and Magna FLow exhaust. battery relocated.



4 cam aluminum Cobra motor with SCT tune, cold air intake, power pulleys, urethane mounts and a general cleanup, upper shock mounts.



Interior shots, pretty much stock with a roll bar and rear facing camera, short throw shifter





The outside..decided to add the Blacksheep-1 as that has been my sig on all the forums I've been on. Trying to pick up a few jobs working for race teams and HPDE guys.

Looks like a boosted miata killer...

[shakedown067]

Certainly looks killer!

Just imagine what it would look like if he felt well while doing it!! Another sweet ride.
