Cant wait till its warm out again and all this salt craps gone!

That grille shell needs to go DOWN! lol

[draggin50]

Haha yeah it does! I have a black one that I am cutting down about 3 or 4 inches to make work. It looks goofy as hell sitting on there now.

I agree looks good but grille needs chopped. That is a clean CO Cobra as well.

Thanks! Its dirty from setting. I need to break down and buy a good cover for it.

Ill probably start on the grille shell this weekend. Ive saw a few articles on how to cut them down so Im gonna try it out. Cant be that hard!

[Blkcobra01]

I've never done it but from the work I've seen so far I'm sure it won't be a problem for ya.

Headers are all done and installed.

That is going to be LOUD !! Nice work !!

[draggin50]

Yeah Id say it will be a little loud! Ear plugs will be my friend!

Picked up a few more parts! Thanks Mike!

650 double pumper, March pulleys, March alternator bracket, 1 wire alternator, distributor, and balancer. Also got some Mach 1 rear drum brakes but they are for the small ford ends. Going to see what I can do to make them work if possible.

Timing cover is painted and ready to go on. Have to pick up a timing cover gasket, 1 piece oil pan gasket and a water pump. Then I can finish the motor up.

Still haven't decided on valve covers. Im still leaning towards the finned aluminum ones or the Edelbrock finned valve covers. Ill decide later I guess! I have a few sets hanging around but they don't really fit the part.

Damn ... You're making progress ...

I definitely like the Cackle Pipes !!!

[draggin50]

Im trying to get this one done quick so I can get back to spending on the Cobra! I think this one will be fun to cruise.

[k062693w]

I just want to go for a ride in it !!!

[draggin50]

I'll take ya for a ride if you'll fit!

[Yellow98Cobra]

Haha sure does! Not sure Id want to ride in it though!

[CNTLOSE]

Looking good. Thinking about the next project yet?

[draggin50]

I hope this one is the last for a while but I doubt it will be!!

I'd like to find an "A" Coupe someday. And build another turbo foxbody. But right now, I need to focus on this one and the Cobra. Im sure the wife has had about enough of the "I need car money"!!
