Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

[95steedamustang]

Currently working the driver side quarter. Nothing really major to post except today is the two anniversary of when I got this car.

I drove the car for 6 months before tearing into it, so Ive been at this project for a year and a half.

Well I finally replaced my Cobra R banner that I lost in the fire.

That poster would look better as a 94 white vert! jk... In all seriousness, it's nice to see you're getting everything back to the way it was pre-fire. And, also that this new car will be a driver, not a trailer queen

Thanks man...I'm not really a car show guy, so that just leaves "driving it like I stole it"
Got back on the vortech, Got it rebuilt and spent some more hours polishing it. I still have some more polishing work to do before I can call it done.

did you do all this on the original car that was consumed by the fire?

Yep... I did most of this on the original one, but this one will actually be better in every way.

 

[BlackVert]

kurt, what i meant was more "had you put a similar amount of work and time and effort into the car that was consumed by the fire?"

dang kevin, that sure was a labor of love you lost. i hope this one does not suffer the same fate.

Haven't been on the forums in a very long time but I had some downtime while working up in NYC and this definitely took care of that! Excellent work, kind of sparked the fire and makes me want to get started again with my car. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I just worked on it day by day and did something to the car every day.

Thanks! I get a lot of motivation from folks that enjoy the thread.

Got my throttle body for the Mustang...75 mm accufab. I've installed some of the cheaper ones and I think this is one of those, "you get what you pay for items.

I've never liked the way any of the discharge pipes fit, so I'm just gonna piece together my own.

Needs more of a bend so more splicing is required. I am trying to get it to line up even with the couplers

Just need to weld this final section and I guess I will go ahead and polish the tube to match the supercharger and throttle body.

Also got my fuel lines and brake lines powder coated to match the lines I did on the rear end.

So much detail... you my friend, are going to have an amazing looking car when it's done.

 

[BlackVert]

I love your attention to detail. You might consider something like these looms for the plug wires ...

I have some and I think they would fit in with your approach to the details ... here is my engine with the looms

Thanks for posting...You know my style. I will probably be ordering a set when I order the Livewires from Summitt.

I finished welding up my discharge pipe

Smoothed out the welds and starting smoothing. The fit is perfect.

Now I just need to finishing polishing it and I can call another piece done.
I also got my fox throttle cable for the conversion to the fox setup

i should probably know this ... sorry ... senior moment you know ... what is that part on the tube that is facing the headers for?

Yeah I have those senior moments too... Its where the Vortech Maxflow Racing Bypass Valve goes.
