Thanks Brian!!!
josh is great to deal with and does top notch work.
weld the axle tubes so they don't twist and the brace keeps the tubes from flexing.
I may call him up and have him make me one for the Cobra. He don't get on here much anymore I don't think.
Thanks for the call today Shayne. I was great talking to you. I can't wait to see that beast go down the track.
Can we get a vid of this beast doing a big holeshot lol
Good talking to you to Tommy, I was heading back from a customers when I called.
I will most definitely accommodate a hole shot, just wont be at this time and it may have to be from the track.
Took the car back to Rogue Race Cars last night and had the chassis certified to 8.50, Oh yeah.

Hey I missed your call. I was out eating with the family.
And how did they come up with 1991 Mustang Orange?
It will be painted using the House of Kolors Sunset Pearl which is an Orange.
Oh ok. Had me wondering! Your getting close now man!
Yup, get the things done at the shop and then on to the track for some tuning and passes. Next from that will be to get my NHRA license.
This has been a good project to follow,great work!

Thanks Mike.
Anyone know anybody that has messed with the Lexan Scoops, not the best looking creations but as long as it is functional I believe that's the way I'm heading?
Not any pictures right now but slowly working on some other things on the car. It is currently at Rogue Race Cars, hopefully it will be ready to be picked up in a couple weeks. Then it will go to Bruce Gould for all the body panels to be lined up. Once that is good, it will go to the Chassis Dyno to see what we can get to the rears wheels.
Awesome! Keep at it!
Surely am Aaron, waiting for other individuals to do their part to make this happen.
I'm being told that the finishing touches on the chassis should be finished this week, time will tell...
Here are a couple photos of the rear end brace, 3.5" exhaust installed and some bracing for the fuel cell and battery box.

That differential cover is wild! Looks like awesome workmanship man.
Very nice! Gonna be sweet when it's finished. Keep the pics/updates coming.
Spent some time this evening at Rogue Race Cars, took some scotch bright to the underside where it was bare metal. It had accumulated some surface rust as you can see in the photo with the fuel cell. Then I sprayed it all in flat black, sorry but I didn't take any photos of that. We also worked on the engine limiters and alternator mounting bracket. More photos will follow soon on this one, now on to post photos of the other one.
Spent the day at Rogue Race Cars, got a lot accomplished. We feel the car is ready to go so off to Bruce Gould to get some body panels aligned on it.
Suspension was reworked to allow the 3 1/2" exhaust and to help prevent it from dragging the pavement. The front of the car was raised appr. 2 1/2-3" and the rear was raised appr. 2-2 1/2", Love the stance on it.

AWESOME !!!
She's coming along !!!
Thanks Aaron, it is coming along surely. We also scaled the car again today and rechecked the tow, total weight with me in it and adding 41.5lbs in the center rear of it we came up with 2900lbs total. That's with me the driver in it, all fluids including a full 5 gallons of fuel and so on. I'm feeling pretty confident that this will be making some passes soon and getting down the track in a hurry. The only down fall at this time is that it has a 3.27 gear in the rear end, didn't find that out until today while we had it on the lift. I'm going to roll with that for the time being but will need to look into a steeper gear soon. It's a great highway gear and this is my street car after all. Lol
Nice looking work! But you can expect that from Rob!
Hope to see it out soon!
Well, the latest update is, installing a window net to finalize the work at Rogue Race Cars. The car sounds absolutely fantastic with the exhaust on.
