Ordered my kit 12/28/07, and I expect delivery some time in February. I'm using an 03 Mach 1 donor, 4.6 L DOHC, that has less than 12k miles. T-3650 tranny with an MGW short throw shifter. I'm shooting for a classic car exterior with modern day conveniences such as..... PS, PB, Stereo, Heat and A/C. I purchased dual roll bars and the upgraded deluxe 3-link rear. FFR tubular LCA's with Koni's all around.

Hello,
I am in the process of building my car right now, well, more like on the tail end of it. I just drove it to the Local club shop to get the alignment done. I'll probably leave the car in Gelcoat status until net year. We spent the last five months building this car and were bushed. If you wish to see my build photos, here's a link: Dan Deitz's Build

What I got:
347 Stroker, Repro '93 Cobra Intake, 42lbs. Injectors w/ MASS AIR, Elderbrock 'Victor Jr. Aluminum Heads', 10lbs. Boost Vortech Supercharger, 5spd TREMEC, Power steering, '98 Cobra Racing Rims (for now), 8.8 solid rearend w/ 3-link system and 3.55 gears, Konis Shocks Coilovers, VPS Swaybars, Power Brake System w/Sn95 Cobra Brake System Kit, Oil Cooler, push & pull fans, and heater box.

Art, you might want to re-torque those lug nuts. She doesn't seem to be putting her shoulder into it!

Hi everybody,

I just graduated FFR 5462 after nearly 3 years. I've visited this site loads of times, but never have posted.



I'm always interested in new discussion.


Chris.

Currently putting the final touches on it. I'll drive around in gelcoat this summer and bodywork next winter. Planning on aubergine (eggplant) with ghost stripes.
