Jeff,
Just sent you a text. If you are up for it, I can have the stand there to weld Thursday night after work. We can hang the dif then. Dave |
Thanks for coming by Dave.........
Some folks have asked more about the bracket being used so I thought I would add pictures as it is worth a 1000 words... http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/3886/122010006.jpg http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/2629/122010005.jpg http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4438/122010004.jpg Picture of the shop......... :) http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/4383/122010007.jpg |
They said "It couldn't be done". Well I am past the hard part. Located in the 289 A-Pillar is a Jaguar 4HU. Thank you Joe Stanley! :cool:

Complete with rear sway bar installed. Thanks to the help of friends Joe Stanley
this has fit perfectly. Jaguar 4HU in a 289 A-frame. :D http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1...1104112133.jpg |
looks good
Jeff, good progress!
|
Where did you get the sway bar Jeff?
Larry |
I saw Jeff and the car over the weekend. He's really making some good progress. He has a lot of cool parts we haven't seen yet ready in the wings.

Bill Kemper, standard issue 289 Cobra part. Although I think it was an optional part as not all 289's I have seen have this part both front and back. Since I am doing the comp route I decided it was more important to have sway bars than rugs etc..... If it doesn't help performance it will not be on this car..... LOLOL:LOL: |
Thanks Jeff! I'll file that away until it's needed.
Larry |
Firewall and discrete tubes welded........

Nice touch with the hand written chassis number on the spring tower. Very accurate!
Larry |
That's the bonnet you heathen, looking good!

Now what did I do with my "English to English" translation book?
Larry |
Perhaps it's under the wheel ;-)

Jeff,
What you’re doing here is very impressive. This is what I’d call a “real build thread”. I’m looking forward to seeing this one after you’ve made the finishing touches. She’s not only going to be beautiful but truly unique as well… you know what I mean, just like the “real” Cobra’s. Kurt |

Thank you, each step is by hand, parts are NOS when possible and details (in my opinion) very close to a 60's car. Many thanks! |
