Oh Lawd.....

This car ain't even gonna be close to done by then. I'm gonna require Jon to work in the shop this summer with me 5 days a week so we can work on the car and other things on the weekends. Of course I'll pay him.....but he's gotta see how hard it is to make work and play balance.

Lifting off the throttle can give you the impression of the car jumping off the ground.
And race tires wiggle.

Going down the interstate i had to lift at about 120 due to the only other car in site changing lanes at 55.
A 69 Camaro front end flying up in your vision for a second will make you a 2 footed driver quick.
Brakes or gas otherwise the car wants to dance.

Strange things happen with spooled third members and drag slicks.....and oil pans can smack the pavement too....

Lol I might have dented a oil pan and found the ditch all in one episode.

I'll get a few pictures of the Bubba-Mobile soon. Gotta test drive a saw or two over there anyway.

I just realized that I forgot to post these pictures.

There is some rust in the front shock towers. Looks to be an easy repair. The rest of it seems pretty solid. I'm not sure what all we will be doing to the front of the car at this point.....but the rear floor, and wheel tubs are all being cut out. As long as the quarter panels and rocker boxes are solid......we are good !!!!!

oh man, that bring back memories. I had a 96' Cobra on Direct inject nitrous, suspension, x-pipe, intake, MSD, chip, pully's, nitto's.

That thing was quick for the time. What a cool project.

I was going to say, I'd swap out that horse for a snake, that's what I'd do to the front end.

My dad has a cobra... he kinda needs it gone if anyone wanted one. It's taken apart just a little for maintenance and sat. Had something like near 600hp to the weels and just over 200mph on the dyno.

We couldn't afford that. LOL

Chop the crank cases out and cram two hunnert ported 661 short blocks under the hood, that might be more up your alley

Some assembly required.

Oh yeah.

I also have a 2x3 tubing crossmember with driveshaft safety loop made in it on the way. Much easier to install the rear frame sections with the crossmember.

You know, Bertrand(that's his real name, btw), if you use PurpulGirder SupremeTUL NASA and BASF approved motor oil, you only have to put one quart in the engine. True story. I think I read it in a thread somewheres...

My package arrived from HL today.
Finally ready to cut some wood with the MS440 MMWS.

Video to come this weekend. Need to volunteer time and wood for a friend to heat his house.
