That's Fred's car. That will be one stunning ERA when finished. Mine's at MM as well getting prepped for paint. Can't wait to see the final results.

ERA in Progress
Thanks everyone for the nice comments! Ron deserves all of the credit here. He has really done a fantastic job with the paint and body work on my ERA. He's also been a great source of advise on how to approach all aspects for the project.

That is a beautiful car and we know the quality of ERA.
Wish mine looked that pretty! :) I will just have to live my ole Viper blue B&B for awhile, complete with 7 years of race track petina. Clois |
Beautiful Engine as Well
Beautiful car and engine. Who built the engine for you?
|
Pat--- Love that second clip, makes me want to take the cobra off the jack stands and go for a blast!!! and you have a beautiful cobra, nice color combo.
Fred had Keith Craft build the engine |
Fred I was told you are having a traction contol system installed, now I see why
|
Pat,
Keith Craft built the engine for me. It's based on a Shelby Aluminum Block and has been stroked to 482CI. It uses Edlebrock Alum. heads with Keith Craft's Stage 2 porting and a custom ground Hydraulic Roller Camshaft. There's a copy of the complete specs for the engine in my gallery if you are interested. The induction is EFI/TWM and I'm going to use a FAST computer with Electronnic Traction Control. The latter is something new from FAST. A driveshaft speed sensor is installed on the car and the computer can sense when the rear wheels are slipping. When this happens, the computer pulls timming out oif the engine and the cuts fuel off selectively to alternating cylinders to keep the rear wheels from spinningexcessively. Given the torque output of an FE in a light car like the Cobra, I think this will be just the ticket. Attached is the dyno sheet and some more pcitures of the engine. You can email me at fkemmerer@anita-fred.net if you'd like some more information. - Fred http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../Engine_05.jpg http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../Engine_01.jpg http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/data/500/Dyno.jpg |
Attached are a few more pictures of the work that Ron did on my ERA. I would highly recommend Ron for high quality paint work. I have not seem anyone do a better job than he does on a fiberglass car!

Jeez, that's "rocket ship" technology compared to mine. Absolutely gorgeous -- we'll all be interested in a road test report on how that traction control system performs as well.
|
Maybe a little deeper red than this FIA.
|
The FIA looks a shade lighter Bob but a very nice color. Hey I attached a picture for Peter, he has been very patient :D I should be finished with it next week.
Ron http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../MVC-007S7.JPG |
...WoW!!!!
|
Ron,
The shoes look great! Peter should be pleased.:D - Fred |
So, Fred--what color IS your Cobra?
|
Beautiful, can't wait to hear how that traction control works!
