I did promise photos of the Cobra carcass, so here you go. Front end looks a little short, ya think? The engine in there is my old V6:

We finally removed the rear axle, looks a little roomy down there.

I decided to paint the Cobra engine, rust is definitely not my color. Before:

I used the extra paint to touch up the accessory brackets and the new differential cover. This is a brush-on paint from G2, so it's not perfectly smooth. Before:
