    Almost time to put the dash in. Defrost is done, last bits of wiring done, and more cutting/adding clearance with the frame/body.

    I thought I would have the dash in today. Last minute change for safety/reliability changed that.

    Took the time to customize the Factory Five dash brace and make it look like a real Cobra. Very happy with the results. Here is what I did.

    Now that the interior work is done it’s time to tear down the engine and save some weight while gaining some performance by installing new heads.

    More ground made on getting the engine back together. That much closer to the first fire with all the upgrades.

    Making up more ground with getting this back together. I’d say 1st start is only a week or 2 away. Getting close!

    Time to get things ready to drive this car. Fixed the tune to get it running better and working on making it road-worthy.

    After about 100 miles of break in driving, I had a part failure. Fixed the problem and started some new upgrades.

    Starting to be able to really enjoy the car now. New tires, more car shows, and continuing with cleaning things up.
