Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

  • Sponsors (?)


I really, really, really want to let you have my car for a few months when I get back to the states. I was pulling into my pathetic excuse for a garage last week and scraped the front driver's side of the bumper. That car's time here has been like that of a hapless tourist on an unmitigated disaster of a vacation. It needs good ol' American pavement under its shoes again.

When I'm asked about taking a car overseas. I always advise against it if it's a nice car. Don't know where your at, but the Spanish and Italians can't drive and don't care who they hit.

I'm in Germany. These people are the best drivers in the world. This car just started having endless problems as soon as it got here; things that aren't very difficult to fix when a reputable shop and an autozone are right down the road, but take a lot of time any money to fix when your only option is some German shop and you have to order your own parts from the states.

Well....as many parts as I've done for this car that I've shipped over there, I'd love to get to work on the actual car. You car is always welcome when you do decide to go all out on it.
 
More progress on the old Mustang... Dont mind the valve cover and timing pointer, they are just temporary.

Still need to detail the supercharger and alternator, but threw them on, just for fun.

I'm thinking about polishing the alternator and supercharger, but haven't decided. :shrug:

what size is the crank pulley for the supercharger, what brand are the water pump and crank pulley and where did you get them? thanks

Oh it most certainly happened. Good to see you around black1987.

89 Saleen--had 33,xxx original miles and just needed a refresh. So my goal with this car was more to bring back to showroom new...maybe a little better.

That's not too far off mine at all. I've always loved the fox Saleens and mine has some history with me, so i had to add it to the garage when I had the chance. I've actually been doing a few more things to it like finally getting it back to the classic Saleen ride height.
 
Well...I started working on the 94 Cobra again.

I finally got around to making my radiator cover design into metal. These are not for my car but I will actually get around to making mine once I have all my orders filled.

Mocked up on a car

And finished out.

I've also been busy making weld in engine bay panels and getting them in epoxy.

Also finally got around to working on a set of SVO side skirts Ive had for a while. This side was missing a few chunks of the side exhaust cutout....but after a little fiberglass work...it getting back to form.

And my wheels are still progressing. I got all the chrome and plasma stripped off and down to the bare aluminum. They are ready for coating.

Welcome Back lol...:rolleyes:
Also, I want that Radiator Cover and those side skirts lol.
Thanks! The radiator cover is easy...I can whip you one of those up but the side skirts are near impossible to find...I just happened to luck into these....and it was probably because buyers were scared off by the damage.
