I saw the car yesterday. I had no idea this car was rebuilt. It looked like a fantastic original ride. Well Done !!

Thank you! Great meeting you yesterday as well! Here are the pics of the car when I originally bought it. Glad I could save it. It has been a great car to drive.

mrw2442, My congrats for your ownership and help getting your Cobra back to original form. Whenever I see the Cobra Badge, I step back a few paces!, because I know what it means!!!!!!!!!

Very well done on bringing your car back from that! It looked really good yesterday, can't wait to see it on track.

Installed Sullivan Product's race pedals yesterday. Time to start practicing heel toe. I have tried to learn with he OEM pedals and found it was very hard with the spacing between the brake and gas pedal. The brake and clutch pedal are very grippy and the gas pedal is more smooth. Very nice product.

Lowering the car has not made my mufflers too happy. I love the unique sound of these Bassani mufflers and didn't want to buy new ones, so I had an old friend of mine weld the cracks on them. Thanks Scottie!

Another upgrade this year was to the steering shaft. I swapped out the old rag joint shaft where the rubber was cracked to a solid shaft from Maximum Motorsports. It was simple install and definitely makes the steering more responsive.

More 2024 updates:

Rebuild rear end with Eaton TruTrac, Ford Racing 3.55 gears with crush sleeve eliminator, and Strange 31 spline axles with ARP 3" wheel studs. The previous gear was 3/73 and whiled like crazy. when I disessembled the backlash was .025 and the differential was not shimmed properly making the shims wear against the axle. The rear end is whisper quiet now and honestly more enjoyable to drive.

Upgraded all brake lines to stainless steel and braided hoses.

Installed Maximum Motorsports Front swaybar relocation kit as well as the swaybar links were kinked backward do to the a-arms moving the front tires 3/4" forward.

Also bought some Apex 18x9.5 EC-7 wheels to be installed next year. I plan on blacking out the cobra badges to compliment the wheels.
