Looks good Hector. Big congrats!

A friend who swapped his Ford GT for a SPF GT40 had it done by Oltholff. I think you can't do better. Documentation of our trip here.

Looking great Hector! I just received my exhaust this week so I'm officially starting work on my car this weekend. I'll start a thread so you'll be able to follow.

Thanks, Mike. I can't wait to see your progress.

BTW if you know the trick on posting high resolution pics on CC, please let me know. My latest pics of the finished car are not accepted because they are files too big.
I have seen elsewhere on this forum many threads with multiple high resolution pics...wonder what I'm missing.

Take care and good luck with the build,

Hector

Hey Tony, that is a sweet GT40. If I could afford another car, I would get a GT40 MKIV (even nicer body IMO)

What camera did you guys use? GoPro? It has an amazing resolution.

Thanks!

Hector

Thanks! I think I could offer better advise to a brain surgeon than providing guidance on how to post a higher resolution photo. I think there is a size limit, but I'll pass and hope someone else will chime in.

That's funny... BTW I happen to work with some brain surgeons that may have used their own brain to train

I'm starting to feel very inadequate. I have failed to download pictures for an album in the gallery. Pretty sad, indeed.
I'm frustrated. I even started a NEW thread and was unable to download pics that way. It is almost as if I, as a user member, have a maximum of storage space for the entire forum, and have reached it. Oh well.
The pics of the final product, at home in LA, show a great car IMO

I wish I could have shown it to y'all

BTW YOU CAN SEE THOSE PICS IN THE SAAC FORUM!

(I was having the same "pictures are too big/don't have memory space" ordeal, but I was able to make it work by going back to the car and taking pictures with an iPhone, which I only assume are smaller/require less memory.)

I'm exhausted by all this effort. I think I am taking a break from picture posting. It is a hard way to make a living

Peace,

Hector

I've found over the many years of posting that the most universally method that works is to post the images first to Photobucket and then copy the "form links" and past them into a forum post.

Tutosnake · #13 (**permalink**) 11-11-2012, 05:08 PM

I tried some low res pics...

Looking great Hector! I keep on thinking my engine is only three weeks away but I've been saying that since September. My builder is finished with the shortblock, but we're trying to find an OEM 2x4 intake.....I can't tell you how many original Ford intake's I've seen over my lifetime and never thought I'd own one until we made the decision to go with a 2x4 intake last month.

BTW, we'll be in New Orleans at the end of the month. Too bad Shreveport is on the other side of LA or I'd swing by for a ride!

Tutosnake, what brand of hose and AN fittings are you using? they look great!

Regards.

Tutosnake · #16 (**permalink**) 11-20-2012, 06:22 AM

Hey there Mike. Please by all means come to Shreveport, and we will go out for a nice ride. It is kindda out of your way (4-5hours), but who knows?

I can't wait to see your engine set up. You have been working so hard on it. I'm sure it will pay off in huge grins...

Mando, thank you for the compliments. You know, I had the engine built for me, and I never addressed the AN fittings... Not described in my engine manual. I took a look under the hood, but could not identify any obvious markings that would suggest the brand. If you tell me what to look for, I will check them out for you.

Cheers all!!

Hector

It looks like the nice lightweight racing hose and black fittings from BAT.

Nice Cobra.....bring it to San Marcos, Texas next March for the Texas Cobra meet. Usually 110+ Cobras attend.

Like your engine pic...sort of looks like mine!

Mando · #19 (**permalink**) 11-22-2012, 05:28 AM

Thanks for the help mickmate.

Regards.

Tutosnake · #20 (**permalink**) 11-22-2012, 06:34 PM

Mando, I did not answer your pm because you saw Nick's comment. I agree those are probably the ones.

Gary, that is a sweet engine. KC? I see you have 681 hp... I am scared of my 520, can't imagine pulling in a 681 one. How can i follow up on your Texas meet? If I have a trailer by then, i would love to come to SM.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
