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

    Yes, it's a rear sway bar and was one of the things that interested me about buying it. It's not a Mach 1 nor does it have the 1 inch front sway bar. It seems that all 78 cars had the rear sway bar from the limited research I've done. My car is actually a 78 and had one too way back when...

    More teardown tonight. Got the rear seat, cargo panels, dash cap and bezels, all of the interior trim removed, and like 99% of the headliner out. As bad as it looks, it's surprising that there's no mouse urine smell. Here is the inner T top structure showing probably half of the rivets. The...

    Not sure if I should leave this here, somewhere else, or make a separate post about it, but this just popped up on my YouTube feed. Could be helpful for someone.... View: https://youtu.be/gpum0wnJnjM?is=0RStTU2EClnazEeD

    More time in the garage this afternoon. Got the rear sway bar removed and pulled the trim from around the T top openings. The sway bar: Someone broke a drill when they converted this one. And this might be a reason that they all seemed to leak - there was only sealant at the front and...

    Spent a few hours out there tonight. Most of my time was spent picking up tools and cleaning up. But I got the targa band removed without damaging anything further and removed the door panels. I took a pic of my door panels just to share for comparison. The "new" armrests might need a little...

    Fox Full set of seats in the back of a hatch

    I can't say with 100% certainty, but I think if you fold the rear seat backs down that you'd have room. The 2 front seats would probably have to be loaded first, then the back seat halves could sit on top of one another in the back of the car. :shrug:

    My brother came over for a bit so we looked this car over a little. I reached in and turned the key and the engine popped right off, which was pretty surprising given it's history. Then I spent about an hour out in the garage tonight and got my brother's boat tank to work. It ended up being a...

    I'll let you know when I start tearing it apart, but stuff will definitely be offered up for sale.

    Well..... :rock: View: https://youtu.be/yMH6X_rJ7WM Ran around this afternoon to procure things to make this happen as well as a few pieces to fix the exhaust well enough that it's not horribly loud. So far it's not really that loud at all anyway, regardless of it not being connected after...

    No, but it was in a city on Lake Superior. From what he told me it was sitting over bare ground, half in a shed with a kiddie pool covering the T tops and plywood stacked on top. Not the most ideal situation for any car that's left unattended for an extended amount of time. I suppose that would...

    You'd think an earthquake hit the heartland with as much crap that was knocked loose while trying to free the left side rack bolt. Granted, I was using a 2 pound hammer.... And I think I found why the car wouldn't crank. Scratch that, I now know why the car wouldn't crank. I'm not sure...

    I don't name my cars, but if I did I would name this one Tetanus. :rlaugh:

    That's what I thought it might have been, but it doesn't have tilt. :shrug: I think you spelled burntout wrong. ;) I aired the tires that were in the car and they seemed to hold air. So I swapped them for the tires that were on the car. 3 out of 4 of them held air while weighed down. So I...

    You noticed! It's a lesser known and ultra rare double transmission model. ;) Honestly not sure what the deal is, he didn't either. As for the support bars, it is a T top thing. They also have torque boxes up front whereas coupes and hatchbacks didn't. You can get heavier duty torque boxes...

    I've saved a lot of usable parts over the years, no worries there! Unfortunately I don't know how much will be left after I snag everything I'm going to use. There will be some stuff from my car though.... I was pretty exhausted when I got home, I ended up sleeping for 4 hours during my normal...

    Just got back from a road trip to the Duluth Minnesota/Superior Wisconsin area and this thing followed me home. I just got parked in the driveway and will try to get the trailer unloaded tomorrow, then get the car unloaded to start an inventory. I didn't really look it over too closely...

    Views vs attendance - check in and share your experience!

    Wasn't aware of the Yahoo groups but was on the .net site. Never really posted anything there though. Kinda like here in the first few years, basically just lurked and gathered info. Exactly the type of crap I'm talking about.

    Exactly. We don't want or need the fluff, gatekeeping, or the political commentary which all seemed rampant before I dropped off over there. I'll find some of the stuff I've been looking for eventually and it'll be shared somewhere here then. :shrug:

    Been busy looking stuff up for my upcoming big project and am finding a lot of info that pops up on f-book through searches. It'd be kind of nice if that info was here too. We're not all on f-book anymore, but it seems that's the place to be now, at least in this community. It actually may not...
