    Posted this in 5.0 tech like a newb. My bust

    I just couldn't wait so I went ahead and bought the new beast for when I get back to the states in June.

    89 Cobra clone
    Coast High Performance 347 street fighter pro 9.7:1 short block
    Stage 3 ported TFS twisted wedge heads
    TFS 1.6 rockers
    TR-3550

    Exhaust Clip: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4968821675202917325

    I'll probably be looking to put a turbo on in about 6 months or so. Any good companies? I've heard some bad stuff about HP service. Anyway I'm damn excited about it.

    Nice car man, I love the look of those rims in white. I also LOVE the way the interior has no center console can you take more pics? I would love to see how that works.

    Center console delete added 15rwhp for me.

    Simple take the consel out and fabricate a bracket to hold the A/c controls and the radio. The glove box and the trim under the steering wheel hide the holes for the skrews.. Y ou will also need to order the consel delete parts for the shift boot and e- brake cover from Late model restoration..

    I made my own shift boot and e brake boot out of leather. Came out just as good as a purchased set only it cost me about 5 bucks instead of 100.

    PS: Not the boot in my avatar.

    Nice looking car. It wouldn't pass off as a Cobra for me though. Just at a glance, the fender extensions and side skirts are GT parts (easily identifiable by the opening in them). All these nice Fox pics lately are really making me think about buying another one!

    Was just thinking that my blue console is gonna be hard to replace, cracked up by the dash. As an original air delete car, it'd be easy to make the radio case, that looks wicked without a console- are those ideas i'm having?

    Thanks for all the compliments

    Here's a couple more pics of the interior that also shows the rear seat delete as well. And believe it or not the previous owner installed the race seats on the factory rails so they actually move with the power buttons. Just kind of suprised me...

    Damn I love that interior. I wonder how hard it would be to make my MGW shifter look good with the console delete. It doesn't have a conventional handle, so I couldn't just put a hurst handle on it or something :scratch:
