    Progress Thread The next "big" project for my Cobra - T-top conversion coming soon!

    I've really been thinking of this conversion over the last couple days and how the car will end up being weakened some by it. I think what I'm going to do is try to fabricate some web bracing in addition to the added factory T top bracing. I've got a couple rough sketches of my ideas done and...

    My next project , a 428 build!

    Probably wouldn't be an issue structurally, but machining them flat again would ensure the best possible scenario for your new gasket to seal. Atta boy! I mean it's only money, right?! :burnout: Seriously though, I know that feeling. Sometimes that's all we can do when stuff pops up that's...

    My next project , a 428 build!

    Funny story - the first time I had my 302 apart I ended up putting all of the rod caps on backward. It took me a minute to figure out why the engine wouldn't spin on the stand before I figured it out. I realize it's not your first build, but it happens to the best of us regardless! It's just one...

    Progress Thread The next "big" project for my Cobra - T-top conversion coming soon!

    Yes you do. I ended up using a breaker bar and socket to twist the spot welded nuts off of the brackets, reinserting the bolts and installing the supplied nuts.

    Views vs attendance - check in and share your experience!

    I think that one of the main draws here could be that there isn't the general audience that you find over on f-book. So many people jump onto someone's post just to bash. You even get that on YT and other more mainstream outlets. I mean we all have heard it all before, but it [does] get old. At...

    Understood. I'm [hoping] to draw some more members and, ultimately, more interaction. :) I mean it's fairly well understood that Stangnet is one of the best knowledge resources, especially for Fox cars. Unfortunately f-book is where a lot of people migrated to, though I know not all of us are...

    I was just looking at the views for my build thread and found that I've now past 34k. The thing I've also noticed is the amount of people posting/replying, which led me down a rabbit hole of looking up the most viewed II threads and this is what I come up with: A lot of the more viewed...

    Progress Thread The next "big" project for my Cobra - T-top conversion coming soon!

    I've actually thought of trying my hand at a YouTube documentary of the process. I found one other guy that cut the structure apart, but it's a long and bloated video with a lot of unnecessary stuff in it. Seems that most videos are about 10 minutes so I suppose I'd try to edit them down to that...

    I just noticed something about that Handler. It has a replacement steering column - it's a tilt column. From what I remember, tilt wheel wasn't an option for the II. I wonder if the swap is documented somewhere in that paperwork....

    Progress Thread The next "big" project for my Cobra - T-top conversion coming soon!

    Oh, and I'm still waiting to hear back about being rescheduled for the tune. I emailed him twice and sent a text on the 3rd week. He responded and said he's making his way down the list, but that's all I know at this point. Knowing my luck he'll shoot a message and ask about the weekend I'm...

    Specifically the under dash plenum, ductwork, and controls. Having the rear defrost option would be awesome but not mandatory at this point. PM me with details if you have anything to offer.

    Mustang I I truck gasket

    I don't remember where I bought the gasket for my hatch. As far as fitment goes, it fit well. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got it, it seems it was from Mustangs Unlimited but I think they're no longer in business. Classic Auto Reproductions carries them though. They list theirs for...
