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

    I suspect it is/does, especially since my engine produces a bit more torque than the stock 302. I had home made connectors in it before I went with Stumpy's a few years ago, I suspect they weren't quite as good at preventing the twist.

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

    My back has been feeling a lot better but I ended up running a few errands instead of working on the car today. I did, however, pick up a load leveler for my engine hoist and dropped that in the garage. Here's something that I'm sure more than one of us has experienced: I believe the web...

    Progress Thread Today in the shed........

    I see Black Hawk plates on the GT/CS - I grew up in the 'Loo! A buddy traded his 04 Mach 1 in for a newer 5.0 PP car though I don't remember exactly what his car's package is. Anyway, he generally babied his Mach 1 and I believe it only had ~40k miles on it (I don't remember what he said the...

    The more I play with this render the more I think someone should build it.

    Here you go Pete, if you've not found it already. Maybe this will help.

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

    I have parts! :D And here's the ongoing battle with the rockers now - they're doing nothing but get worse. I was seriously planning on starting the process of tearing the engine and transmission out of the T top car tonight, unfortunately my lower back screamed "f-off!" so there will be...

    Random Mustang II Pictures

    Playing with AI and thought of this customization. It seems a little off both because AI didn't seem to get the window proportions quite right and the fact that I don't think anything like this has ever been done. I think I kinda like it though.... kind of gives vibes of the 69-70 fastbacks.

    My next project , a 428 build!

    I'd go with stainless for the extra $100. :nice:

    What's it Worth? 76 Cobra 2

    Sounds like a solid plan. Just be aware that some V8 specific stuff is damn near unobtainable. But I happen to know a guy with  some stuff that may be of use. ;) Pay attention to the classifieds in the coming months, stuff will be posted here when I finally get around to trying to let it all go.

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

    I don't know if I could say with 100% certainty that it runs better or more powerfully than it did before. But I can say that it runs well so far. I don't think we were completely done tuning since the ECT sensor was bad and that has an effect on how it fuels the engine, but it's also a self...

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

    Not a lot to report tonight. Just did a little shop cleanup before taking the Cobra down from the wheel cribs I had it sitting on, then took it out for a quick spin. It's been a while, other than the quick drives I took it out on when we were starting to work on the tune, but it drives pretty...

    What's it Worth? 76 Cobra 2

    I don't think it ever goes away. My uncle is about your age and brings home a new project about every other year. In between times he's out tinkering and restoring them. Gives him something to do with his free time, which I don't think is much different than most.

    What's it Worth? 76 Cobra 2

    Sharing here for reference - this was hard to see with the fenders mounted. Honestly, I didn't even see it when I looked at the car, but like I said, I wasn't buying it as a project so I wasn't looking.

    What's it Worth? 76 Cobra 2

    Personal opinion - I think he's awful proud of it. That being said, I guess it would depend on the damage it [actually] has and the condition of the underside. The interior doesn't look horrible all things considered, and it very well could be a solid foundation. Without laying eyes on it, I'd...

    They should. I've installed a couple aftermarket cats in different cars and they seemed to work as they should. I didn't live in a smog state at the time, so I don't know if they would've worked well enough for someplace like California or anything.... (probably not - California's funny like that)

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

    Orders have been placed. I went ahead and added the front bumper cover to match the new rear I've been working on getting mounted. I added it to combine shipping which will end up saving me in the long run. I'll have to order new weatherstripping from them before this is all said and done...
