Hi all,
Thought it about time that I posted some progress shots.
For those of you that don't know, I started my build around April 06' and it is currently at the rolling chassis stage. I've still got a little work to do on the brake lines, but will probably wait until the body is back on to finish the connections onto the master cylinders. Although I've worked out the fuel tank mounting and have most of the bits for the fuel system, none of the fuel lines are run yet. That will be one of the next tasks.
This will be pretty much a stock CR build (at least until registration
). The only exception so far has been a front brake upgrade. One of my earlier concerns was the differing stud patterns between front and rear. At the recommendation of Aussie Mike, I contacted my new friends at Hoppers Stoppers who supplied me with the necessary bits and pieces to convert the front hubs to a Ford stud pattern as well as supplying me with new slotted rotors, pbr calipers etc.
To get my beast mobile
, I now had to find some 15" rims to fit over my new brakes. I had trouble finding some temporary steel rims, hence the 15" alloy rims off a Fairlane (I think they're called snowflake's), which fit with millimetres to spare. I got this set pretty cheap and figured that I should be able to offload them when I'm done with them. I haven't made a final choice on rim type yet, but I'm leaning towards the Boyd Smoothies II. I've always liked these rims and have seen them on a few cobra's. Not sure about offsets etc. yet.
My biggest problem at the moment is finding quality time that I can spend in the shed
Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics.
Luke....
