That is gonna be so f'in sweet when yer done. im so jealous!

See, just when I stop thinking about it,,,you keep bringing it back up. Haaa.
Thanks guys, Only thing left to do is to run all the gauge wiring through the firewall, find the right fitting for the oil pan temp gauge and throw the motor back in. The wire hiding wasn't as bad as I thought. Even did the hood pop latch through the fender.

Attention to detail is what will make that car really sweet when you are finished. Looks great!

nice thats gonna be one sick ride

03 Cobra > 5.0

Something tells me that by the time hes done it will be Cobra wha?

lol


Car is lookin' awesome! Nice to see someone really gettin' their hands dirty. :worship2:

The car is coming along great. Its going to be a bad a$$ ride when your done :Woot:

good work dude...

Once its all done you won't miss that cobra no more...

You should drop an 04 cobra engine into it.

LOL, Spin what's the deal? You suddenly spankin' it to Cobra's? Thought you were an all Vette Guy?

Looks great man!

:nomore: haaaaa.

He's just bustin my chops. Quite funny actually.

r u going to repaint the entire outside of the ar looks like the paint is faded and the bumpers dont match

Looking sweet. I understand the need for the project,screw these"should have keep". I think you need to bring it north and let me drive that bad dad once when its done. Keep the pics coming.

Fubar'd my oil pan tonight, anyone have a 302 pan they have no use for??? I'll pay for shipping. Haaaaaaa.

Don't ask!:godamnit: :godamnit:

I'll try to post more pics within a week. I gotta get the motor back in and run these nice pretty wires I re-taped and re-loomed.

Put the jack under it...lol. You might as well get a deep pan to hold more oil seriously

you can have mine for cost of shipping... but it has a hole in it and a small peice of tree...

lol

wow you really are a "get in there" kinda guy which was the reason you sold the cobra. lol I dont see spiderman in any of those pictures. isnt he web-slinging you some tools or something? start em young and he'll have a badass car in the garage next to yours before he can drive.

i had an 89 iroc-z before i even had my temps.

Matt: Most of this work was done while I was out on FMLA (otherwise known as baby leave.) I should have made it further, but I told the place where Im ordering my Canton Windage Tray from that I had alot of work to do and didn't need it in a rush. Well, I finished almost everything and here I sit waiting on a windage tray.

However, I went out and droppped another $800 bucks on a new clutch cable, new motor/tranny mounts, tie rod ends, sway bar bushings, clutch, FordRacing valve cover and Hotchkis upper/lower control arms. The car is on jacks right now and I'll tell Spidey to get his suit on and help get these things installed.

I also bought the Unisteer Manual rack (talked to them at the PRI show in Orlando. Decided to use them instead of Flaming River.) and it comes next week. Won an ebay auction and have LX taillights coming so I can get rid of these cheese grater taillights.
