OK DV....

Here's the proof!!!



You should have them by Tuesday latest.

See you Saturday!!!

Cpt. Eddie,
And those lower arms are supposed to fit the CR II? It's going to take a "lazer/protractor/compass" to set that rear end up with 4 adjustable arms!

.................no sweat I have one!

DV,

You have any problems with my stopping by on Sunday, instead of tomorrow? Got some stuff I need to get done around the house.

Here's what I have for this trip;

1) transmission
2) new Lokar shifter
3) expensive Australian side louvers
4) volt gauge
5) stainless steel cable ties
6) bushings for the lower rear arms

Am I missing anything???

[Double Venom]

I have a small list that I will give you when you get here-nothing much. Getting into the final phase of things. Sunday is fine Sir, just fine.
Everything else looks great.
DV

Ok...

Just got back from DVs. Always worth the road trip. Got the last of the needed parts dropped off and with the custom rear lower arms making the trip, it should be the last piece of the puzzle to get this baby on her wheels and engine/tranny dropped in.

Here's a few pic's to let you see where we're at.

THANKS DV!!!! HAPPY B-DAY!!! DON'T EAT TO MUCH CAKE, YOU HAVE WORK TO DO

Remote filter mount and radiator

Hood and body (1)

Engine with the headers on

Dash with steering column

Chassis front with radiator

Tranny, body and chassis

Steering column mount 1

And as DV would say...the best $80 bracket you'll never see...


DV is getting close. I'm pretty sure that from here on out, it's all down hill and I can't wait Awesome job DV!!

Cpt Ed,
Yesterday felt like a Birthday, new monitor, parts galore! Thank you very much for everything and the kind words!
Not to be cliche'd but, 'you aint seen nuthin' yet!

Glad to hear that!!! It started out looking like a disaster waiting to happen.

DV,

I ordered the fan mounting hardware and the shroud gasket. They are getting dropped shipped right to your place. The 20' of -6 will be coming from Summit directly to you.

One problem I'm having is, I'm only finding one length when it comes to the drive shaft yoke http://www.jegs.com/p/Ford+Racing/757436/10002/-1 will this be OK?

Also I forgot to look yesterday. Did you ever make a copy of the fuel well? Don't remember if I saw it in the fender on the body or not.

[Double Venom]

Yep, that's the yoke,31 spline.
Haven't copied the fuel well yet!
DV

[tcrist]

Great Dv, Glad it got there.

Cpteddie,
IF you still have Don's rear lower control arms - save me a lot of work if you can? Measure from center to center of where the bushings would be please. This will at least give me a starting point!

Sweet!

Is she standing on her own yet? Or still on the dolly?

You should have a couple of deliveries showing up either today or tomorrow.

ED I have been looking for a lazer/protractor/compass to check my rear end. Where can I buy one?

Thanks Dwight

[Double Venom]

OOOH, still on the Dolly Sir, Sorry,I'm fast but I have never been accused of being that fast!

Dwight: I know that everyone will pipe in it can be bought cheaper but I bought this one about 7 years ago when the FFR guys were goinog nuts with wheel hop so bad their dashes were coming out!. I had to prove/show them their rear ends were all set up wrong. Shoots "T" lines, around the corner lines,pin points, cross hairs, magnetic base or not and of course a straight line. Wife loves it to hang pictures too!

Very professional, much more than I can use. I got mine from "Paul Mittern at "Professional CHECKPOINT". Mine is in the "INCLO-MATIC" series. I don't even know if he still works there or not? Add: Check Point-1824 Oak St., Yorremce, Ca. 90501

I don't know if it's a 'bloob' on my box or the period after 'team' is actually a period?

DV

[Dwight]

ED can you attach it to the trannie yoke and check the center line of the rear end? I want to check the side to side alignment and the pinion angle. What pinion angle do use on a Cobra?
Thanks
Dwight
