Ironman Cobra Build Thread

I noticed the rear of the hole was at 8" on the tape, but the front of the hole was at 2", so I figured 6" in total.

The hole looks fine and about the same size as mine at the top, which was why I assumed you still have room to taper it out at the bottom.

That was an in progress photo before i had to cut the front to make the two front bound pipes fit. I thought i was going to be able to get away with trimming them less towards the front, but i was very incorrect. The hole actually ends up being right around .75" out from the start of the fender flare. It's pretty close to the fender, as I am sure you are well aware of. I never even realized that the holes were tapered from the Kirkham factory until i saw Arnaud's photos of the arrival of his car. I wonder if they have always tapered the sidepipe cutouts.

Thanks Arnaud! You da man! The pictures have been very helpful so far and i really appreciate you taking the time to send them to me. I am not looking forward to cutting the foam and putting it in the wheel wells, but I am sure your pictures will make the task much more painless.

Finally got the panels back from the powdercoaters.



Dont make fun of my AC Delco battery, it was free.





I've decided to go with the black rivet. They just look better in my opinion. Ill post more pictures once i get it all in place. The smash rivets for the fender portions were not fun to install.

The little covers are cool, how are they attached?

Nice work !
