Default Getting very close to ordering Phase I, just a few questions?

I am just about ready to order phase I and get started on my first Cobra build. I was curious as to what parts are missing from the kit. After Phase I and II are purcahsed what additional parts will be needed to finish. Obviously engine, trans, driveshaft, ect... Just curious as to how complete the kit is.

Thank you

there are a lot of parts you still need to get after you get both phases. A lot of stuff depends on how you want to build your car and what you expect it to look like when ur finished. The only part that i would not use in the kit are the rotors. You should upgrade to the 11" granada rotors and dont waste ur time with the others.

I started with just the frame. I went with wilwood brakes,i bent all of my own lines and used a different rack and pinion setup than a&c. Whats great about the build is that you can build it custom to what you want on the car.

Well I pulled the trigger today and ordered Phase I. I'm sure questions will be soon to follow.

Congratulations--I ordered an A&C around this time last year. I spent last winter with the heater going in the garage and made progress with Phase I. I picked up the body and the Phase II components in Buffalo in August. Now I am wiring and hoping to get to a final punch list by the Spring. Good luck with your build and enjoy the process.

Default wiring

I thought the wiring wasn't bad. Only thing I would change was to put male/female wire ends on the lights. After I wired the car complete I thought about removing the lights Oh Crap!! I'm in the process of putting the engine back in the car. Should be done this weekend. I got my body gel coated and looked good, then I got the bright idea to wet sand it. I have a buddy the does frame off restores on old muscle cars, he does very nice work. His cars have won at Good Guys a few times. Any how, we started wet sanding buffing to see if it made a difference, does the word WOW mean anything? I couldn't believe how much deeper the shine was and the orange peel is all but gone. So now we are going to do the whole car.

PS:
It took me less than 200 hours to get it road ready not finished, if you're like me it will never be done.
