Danny,

Tom have quite a few cars going, in fact he has a stable of ponies, LOL! and that blocks is being worked on just in a delay right now. Why not get parts when you can while the other part of the project is being worked on?

Its already been machined, balanced and assembled. We are just waiting on heads.

while the block and T-5 are being finished this week at the builders shop, I'm gathering parts little by little. this will save me time later.

As a few saw my garage last weeek, I have parts "neatly scattered" all over since so much is happening to the car, but little by little, piece by piece it's coming together, along with all my other projects!

The engine bay looks great with the new paint. So now that your putting all this time in on the bay are you going to hide all the wiring ect up in the fenders to give it a cleaner look?

It's been some time since I checked this post. Everything is coming along nicely Tom. Is the power pipe going to connect to the supercharger, or is this one staying N/A. If you need any assistance with anything, just give me a call. I live in North Country and dont mind making the drive for a full day of grease monkey work. KEEP IT UP!!!!!

Keeping things "neatly scattered" is the only way to keep track of everything. Too much organization leads to going insane.

The red painted engine bay? no, gonna keep everything somewhat "stock looking" hiding wires would take on more detail and I'd rather focus on other things

That's not his car.

I think he was referring to the previous pics where I resprayed my engine bay. the blue one is from ebay

Well, at least for the front spindles, I have the 5 lug done.

Added the 03 Cobra PBR calipers and rotors with new pads and steel braided lines.

Dont know how I feel about those rims. Think i would like the 2001 cobra ones better.

I think those rimms will look great once the car is finished!!!!!!

Since my other wheels don't have tires yet, I needed something to roll the car around after the 5 lug swap. I slapped those on and figured hey, why not? I have them, not selling them, might as well use them until I get tires for the others.

They may not work out though, they are too wide and hit the front struts so they will require spacers. They are already wide with 255's in front, spacers will just make them look more towards the ghetto side. I'm ok with rear being slightly wider, but not on the front


we'll see
