Hi One,one2gamble said:I would run the cobra wheels you have on there right now, I am actually misunderstanding your ride height measurements. Your raising the ride height? or the wheel? You need to make the wheel tuck as much as possible in my opinion. The hallibrands would look great but I think a modern wheel fits what your doing a little better. What about the 18inch roush wheel?
burnout289 said:ok, I had to ask because this is bugging me. in the pic of your car head-on, I am seeing what seems to be a cowl brace or something like that. the square tube piece that arcs over the firewall area. well, what is making my eyes itch is that it is not symmetrical! I have no idea if it is an integral part or just a fabbed up bracket that will be removed, but if it's permanent, why is it crooked? I am so confused!

Hi 289,
Well... The tube is perminant and welded to the top of the existing 03 Cobra wirewall/cowl. And you are right, they are not symetrical. It does look kind of funny, but when we locate the 65 cowl cover it will all fall into place.
Hi 1320,1320stang said:I'd almost think that using the top of an '65-'66 radiator support and grafting it in as it hits the frame rails would work best. You'd have to cut out the radiator opening and widen it to fit the Fox4 opening, but given what else they've accomplished, that shouldn't be too hard. This gives you a front mounting point for the fenders and a place to mount the hood latch. You could then fab the rails that the rest of the fender mounts to and blend them down into the existing sides of the engine bay. I'm almost supprised that they didn't raise the shock towers in the bay.
I'm curious if they're going to use the '65-'66 outer rear wheel wells and blend them into the Cobra inners.
