Steve,

Beautiful car ... you have made a lot of improvements since the last time I saw the car, what's next?

- Tim

I am calling this REV3.0 for the car.

Currently we are a Fuel Injected 5.3L FRPP boss block with the SVO x303 heads, 1990 "snakes" tubular cobra intake with 24LB Injectors and a Modified Cobra Mustang X3U computer. I moved the Indexing of the camshaft 4" advanced and it feels soo much better and spools like mad. Had to ditch the stewart waterpump and go edelbrock, also put on a canton boss302 oil pan and moved the dipstick to the front.

However, ---The *major* upgrade in 3.0 --is the T56 6 speed transmission (FR M-7003-H) that is now all setup

( I am going to write an article on that one -- wow it is neat stuff, 80mph is 2000 RPM. )

I also upgraded the undercar exhaust with a pair of 24" magnaflow mufflers which helped tremendously in many areas, 2.25" all the way through, no crimpied pipes as we updated the sway bar mounts ,- and very quiet at speed.

The interior upgrade was courtesy of a 1980 Mercedes SL Forrest Green carpet and similar color leather trim.

My interior guys took the back leather panels out of the seats (rear of seeat toward cabin backboard) and replaced them with carpeting (like AC used to) that way we got the leather for the shift boot, and a couple other things.

Since I had blown the carpet in the "Detonate-The-Heater-Core" episode, this was needed and the bunny-rabbit tan wasnt quite aston-martin enough for me.

The heater system has been replaced by a neat unit from Vintage Air that we modifed the SPF dash/floor vent motor system to work with.

New fog lights: Bob and I worked on a tab mounts for the NOS marchal fog-lamps that I was fortunate enough to obtain.

So the car is really coming along, I need to figure out a few things but I really like driving this thing now. speedy, quiet, usable, flexible and stops people dead in their tracks in carmel.

Beautiful car Steve! The interior color combination looks fantastic.

Very Nice Photos! Great lighting on the first!

Classy Cobra! Nice pics!

Nice work Tim. How many more "months" are left to be filled???

Herman,

We need about another (3) or (4) cars ... we'll get there ... :):)

Tim, you holding back one month for your own Cobra? When is the delivery date?

DD

Tom, --why couldn't we use a photocopy of Tim's deposit check>?

Doug,

My car is out there a bit ... the frame is out for powder coat at the moment ... so it will be a while, my guess is maybe Spring ??? :)

But ... we do need photos of cars, and we could use a Cobra or two or three ... in a natural setting ... so maybe before you take your car apart, perhaps take a photo of your FIA with a Vista or some trees in the back ground?

- Tim

Steve, after all he's done for you? He's gonna photoshop your car Hot Pink!!! :D

In lieu of Tim's car I offer this from ERA:

THIS was the inspiration for my handle on both FFCobra.com and ClubCobra.com

Whoops !

Just got an update ... looks like we could use (5) or (6) more photos for the 2010 BACC calendar ... so keep the photos coming!

- Tim

Herman ....

Cool Car ... I love it :D:D

- Tim

REALLY!!!?? We had I think about 38ish Cobras out at the End of Summer Run, which was great, and we can't fill 12 months!? Come on people! Get some photos in. Tim has even offered and performed photo shoots for numerous people. It doesn't get much easier than this. Lets make an effort to make this calander happen this year. If everyone sits back (all of you that have not sent in a photo), the calander may/will not happen, which would be a shame. Please help out.

Are last year's calendar cobras excluded from participating?

My car was in the last two, so get your picture in Gene.

Gene,

Doug is correct, any and all photos are appreciated, even if your car was in the calendar last year, there are a number of 'encore' cars!

The link to the original thread is below, you can send the high resolution photos directly to Tom.

P.S. To All BACC members ... We still need more photos in order to publish the BACC 2010 :D:D
