Thanks Patrick, I will try that for my next post. I have the cowl hoop tacked up and tack mounted onto the outriggers, modified the tie rod ends to get the toe in set, will order the proper parts for final assembly. will post pics in the next couple days. Will be going to the scrap yard in the morning to check out the T-bird rotors for fit, they are 10.5 in dia and the caliper brackets will allow standard parts to be used ( all Ford no GM stuff). Carl.

Went to the yard to look at parts and found out they are 4 lug, so I ordered the rotors,bearings, and locknuts from Speedway motors Monday and they arrived tonight via ups. Have posted more in my gallery and will work on the car tomorrow afternoon. Name:  th_CobraBuild52.jpg

Picked up a 302 to rebuild, needs boring and maybe a stroker to make it 347.
Also picked up a T-5 now I must find the bellhousing and I can do a fitup before I rebuild the engine. The engine came with a set of 1966 heads which have 57cc chambers, this may be something I can work with. Just gathering parts and finishing the honey-do's till the white stuff flies again.

I picked up another 302 today from a lincoln with less than 40,000 when wrecked and has been sitting for 20 years, cylinders are, were, full of oil in fact I drained over 2 gal out, have the intake off and its clean as new. I will be removing the heads to check the cylinders and do a port and valve job. I'm waiting for my intake from ebay. Now I need a 50 oz flywheel and the work begins.

Looks like you are making decent progress. Pardon me while I sit here and be envious! Keep up the good work.
