Default New to Club Cobra and Just Picked-Up FFR 7074

Hi all,

Thought I should register after lurking for the past couple of months, considering that I just picked-up my kit - FFR roadster #7074 this past weekend. Lots of good information and opinions here, so I look forward to a healthy exchange with all of you.

Details on the plans for my car: Semi-donor build using the 5.0 (converted to carb and old-style front cover), T5 trans, 8.8 rear, 13" & 11.65" brakes, and fuel tank from a '94 SVT Mustang Cobra. FFR options include powder coated chassis, three-link, tubular front lower control arms, manual steering rack, hood hinge, wipers, 17"x9" & 10.5" Halibrand-style wheels, Ron Francis wiring harness, rivet-on hoodscoop, aluminum radiator, and custom faced Speedhut vintage-style gauges in an S/C layout.

I did the 2200 mile round-trip to FFR this past weekend to pick the car up and had a great time touring the facility and speaking with Dave Smith. Now that the car is home, I'm ready to begin the build process and welcome your comments and suggestions. Although I'm an instructor for NASA HPDE (I have an ex-Bondurant car as my track-day pig), I doubt my FFR will see much track use. Instead, it'll be a country road cruiser built in the image of a vintage racer.

Later,
Chris
