i'm 20, didn't take the time to read all 26 pages of replies, but i dare say i'm one of the younger builders on here. the largest projects i've taken on before this are swapping a motor into a civic hatch, and putting on a couple of turbo kits imports. i'm building the cobra on my own, and trying to pay for most of it out of my pocket ( sold my turbo and motorcycle to start this project).
i'm using an everett morrison style frame and a 4.6 DOHC 32v V-8 out of a lincoln mark VIII (same engine as the stang cobra, but different intake mani, and intake cams i believe). i got those parts from my uncle for $1200, so that really helped cut down on cost.
right now i'm just finishing tearing down my suspension from a 78 mustang II. now i've got to have that old carcass hauled off and begin to clean, degrease, and por-15 all my suspension before i install it.
so wish me luck, and if anyone took time you read all 26 pages, or if you know of someone younger than 19(started a month ago when i was 19
) then you got me beat.
i'm hunting for a 9" rear end from a lincoln versailles or granada with disc brakes, so if anybody knows where one is, or has one they'd sell, let me know if you could.
