I used the alternator built into the generator housing for the "fooled ya" look. Still torn on whether or not to paint the wheels black...kinda like it like it is....I still have to put the #1 meatballs on it, but I have to let the paint relax a few more days. |

You can plasti dip your wheels. If you get tired of them black, just peel off the plasti dip |
Funny you mentioned meatballs. Without knowing anything about CSX2001, my wife saw the pictures of your car and thought it would look good meatballs......maybe she is spending more time reading about Cobras than I realize!
Even though the wheels on CSX2001 are black, I still like the cast finish (and the Hoosiers) on your car. |
thanks Mike!
|
Great looking little 9 very nice job! Did you try the front quick jacks pointed in at the body? You'll consider it after the first few shin digs.
|
Hey thanks guys....ya know I am headed out to the garage to flip those sucker around....the original CSX 2001 had them this way....but since it's going to SEMA I don't want the liability, so better safe than sorry :D
|
So, wait....you built this car in ONE MONTH!?!? Outstanding looking car! :D
|
total build time was actually 3 weeks...
car arrived 6/23 and pretty much only worked the weekends...car has been idle for the last 3 weeks waiting on paint to get finished....I had a lot of prep work done and since it was a non-donor build, it goes quicker since everything is nice and new :D |
Erik can build one of these things blind folded!!!.
This car looks amazing. |
What a beauty!

2345 and 2290
Early cars were different.................... |
Interesting to note also Bruce has 427 quick jacks on his 289. I'll have him on about that next time I see him and offer him some correct ones.

Great job eriktreves - Congrats!
Also, certainly someone has vintage photos of CSX2001 with the quick-jacks mounted correctly ? |
OK..well here are the last shots before SEMA....looks pretty darn close...the meatballs on the trunk and hood are not big enough I think....but oh well ...looks good...some more showing off

I think a different number would offset the size a little better. Think it looks good, though. Gives you a little "standout".

Did you just cut the meatballs to fit the hood? Any problems with the edges not sticking? Looks fantastic! |
Ye. Just cut the meatball... No issues .
