General Information

TURBO UPDATES START HERE - https://www.thechicagogarage.com/threads/01bluesnakes-2018-tt-gt350.173540/post-4278124


Sooo, couldn't wait any longer for my '94 cobra to be done, needed my fix lol. As seeing how my other turd box is moving away from 'street car' manors, I wanted something I could take out to shows, cruise, and just enjoy. I do plan to fuck this car up, so for any Shelby purists, this thread will not be your friend. I'm not a big road race guy, been there, and done that with some of my older cars. While fun, I like my short burst, lame 1/4 mile racing that takes no skill (kidding). Some may remember me, some may not, for those that do, you know what's coming lol.

I picked up the car a few weeks ago from Fargo ND, was a long trip but worth it. Car is bone stock, with 2600 miles on it. It's a lead foot gray, strip delete car, babied its whole life. Heres some pics from that journey. Left at 7am, got back at 3am that night. Was so tired, just pulled the trailer in the garage with the car and said fuck it lol.

Wow...A+ good sir! Would love to know the track numbers!

Thank you, chipping away at it as much as I can. Still have a good amount of stuff to get installed. If Weld can get me my front wheels, as long as the weather is good, I want to get a few passes in. The event I was at last was a no time.

huge meats out back, looks awesome

That they do lol. I ended up going 15" due to it being a banger car, and will ultimately make some good power. Need all the sticky I can out back, with minimal driveline shock.

Another little update. Can't say enough about Mario at Understated Detailing. Sent the car over to him for some paint correction, rock chip filling, paint protection film, topped with a ceramic coating. Car came out looking better then new, and can now be a little more at ease while driving down our shit roads here. Pics don't do it justice, the paint and film look like glass.

I only have money cause I work like a slave to my own business haha.

I've been dragging ass this week to get the car over and check fitment. Sold my old air compressor to my machine shop, which downed the shop while I was wiring and running lines for my IR Screw unit on the other end of the shop. Got it done, but pushed off my schedule this week. Gonna try to bring the car over tomorrow, haven't driven it since it came back from getting detailed and wrapped.

Well, didn't loose as much weight with the track wheel set as I wanted, but is what it is. Having to go to 18" fronts, with radials added roughly 40lbs over my old 17" and bias setup. As for current weight, this is where she sits with half tank of fuel. With the added and beefier suspension parts, 15" conversion, I still dropped overall wight. If I didn't do the carbon ds, two piece rotors, and tubular front bumper bar, I definitely would of been heavier then previous stock weigh in.
