The build manual leaves alot to be desired but the pictures help. It's on 4 wheels and I'm running the lines for the brakes now.
Question: what modificatioins have other CMC builders included in thier build? I don't want just a plain jane cobra...  Any ideas? I just found a IRS in a T-Bird that may be destined for the cobra! Pictures would help too |
Hey, sounds like you and I are doing the same thing, and at about the same stage of build. For mods...., lots to list, here's a few off the top of my head:
- Upgraded front suspension, chopped arms off frame and went with tubular.
- custom engine mounts
- posi rear, custom coil over shock mounts, raised and cut into bottom of fiberglass to get rear tires higher into body
- FFR wheels, 245/315
- custom removable roll bars, chromed on top, super strong, 1.75" DOM tubing, with removable twin side impact cage down inside of doors to floor.
- custom front torsion bar mounts
- SFI clutch housing and kavalar layered center tunnel around trans, with dual loops for shaft housing
- Walnut veneer dash
- Some fiberglass body improvements
Other than that I think most of the 'mods' will just be mechanical choices such as a 331 engine, and some other more or less common stuff.
Would be happy to chat about or share ideas.
Best!
