This is cool! I think it would be even cooler with a coyote, but I can’t blame you for putting the LS in it

Have you seen this car?

I have seen that and it's so cool. If the valve cover adapters weren't so much it would get ford valve covers. I did kick around the idea of using the ls front drive with a distributor. Ah not probably gonna happen. It would be so great to do.

valve covers are awesome !

 

[HILROD]

Coil covers. But who's counting. Lolololo

A little cleaning and painting. Power seat track welded, painted, and rebuilt.

aw yisssssssssssssss

 

[Le Pun]

Cobra!!!!

 

[HILROD]

Have been kinda busy with work but still got a few more things done. Cobra brake uprade detailing, blasted k member and a steering wheel. I also ordered a cobra horn button. i might have some time off for shutdown, (we are still working in the field so dunno), if so motor mockup and more goodness. Gotta decide on a rear gear ratio and a few other details to really get working.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

are those powerstop calipers ?

 

[HILROD]

They are New Cobra calipers. I think the rears might be Powerstop. I know they are new and powdercoated red so the fronts gotta match.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

I was thinking about buying the powerstop kit and having them powdercoated purple

 

[HILROD]

Have been cleaning, prepping and painting interior parts. Boring pics until it starts going in. But got one part in today.

 

[Smokinhot]

Awesome work Frank, as always!! Keep it up!

More painting and detailing interior parts. Since this thing was mostly gutted whatever color parts I can find in good shape cheapest wins. The armrest was red. It has a console armrest delete but they suck to drive around. I finally emptied the car out totally. It's weird to see what's with the car vs. what's missing. A bunch of 5.0 engine parts(the old 302 kind), misc junk, and a few unexpected stock parts. I spent way too many hours cleaning my e-gay seats. They had been used in a doorless Bronco 4wheeler so they were trashed. They were cheap as I had ever seen so I took a chance and they clean up great. Power with power lumbar. As far as I know they are what belongs in this car, except I think they were not cloth. Never saw the stock stuff so dunno. I like the cloth better.

Cobras did have cloth interiors too.... The rarest color combo was teal with black cloth interior.

They also had opal grey cloth, and opal grey leather.

The guy that sold me the front seats said they came from a Cobra. This car is just a 90 made to look like a Cobra. I think it was a GT originally.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

any before pictures of the seats ?
They look like new !

[HILROD]

I haven't done the other one yet.I will see how it shows up in pics.

 

[HILROD]

We shall see how this shows up. They were not pleasant to start out.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

the end result is killer !

 

[HILROD]

Around 6 hours of scrubbing disassembly and steaming per seat.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

you have a steam cleaner ?
6 hours, fock !
