I finally got the interior back in the car. I had all the plastic interior panels upholstered in a leather like material to get rid of the look and feel of all the cheap looking plastic. Everything has been upholstered in the black leather like material or black suede. I still have to do the steering column trim and the console, but I am planning on building a custom console, so that will have to wait a bit. Lots of unique peices and carbon fiber accents throughout. What do you think?

I have high expectations for you because of the SN Tom, and this is more than I expected. It's gorgeous!

Thanks man, how have you been?

Well I hope in the next year the project really starts to take off when I start to get into the drivetrain and suspension. I picked up my 4.6 32v for the car this past spring and I have purchased some of the suspension and big brake kit components. Just keep plugging away.


BTW, the cobra will be coming out soon in a feature for 5.0 magazine. I just wanted to let you know because you are usually the first to see my cars in the mags.

Very cool Tom! You gotta get this one finished so it too can be featured in a mag. :)

I'll let ya know when I see the Cobra feature. :D

Actually I did have an offer to have the pace car shot for a feature in a magazine but I turned it down and said that I want the feature to be done when the car is done. I want it to be seen when my vision for the car is complete.
 
When you go to the 32v 4.6, are you going to run a standalone engine management system? I'd love to go to a mod engine, but i don't want to have to completely rip all the electronics out of my fox :(

I saw your SN95 last summer an a show at englishtown. I reconized it right away from magazines, Stangnet and the Corral. I didn't say high because you have no idea who i am but i know your "car" very well :) I'd love to see the pacecar sometime, hopefully at a show or two!

Yeah, when I go with the 32v I will be using a standalone unit (not sure which yet). As for the rest of the car and chassis I will be using a Ron Francis wiring setup. This 1979 wiring sucks, it all has to go and be update with better and cleaner stuff.

Please make a detailed thread or blog or something, i'd love to see some of the products and directions you decide to go :)
