Default Charmer's BRAND NEW SPF!!!

Boy my CHEEKS hurt! Both pairs! One pair from constantly smiling for the last couple of days, and one pair from putting 300 miles on the Cobra. The best kind of pain!!

Here's a couple pics of the big red beast. It's beautiful, to me, and fast! Can't wait for you all to see it in person.

John, I hope to give you that ride that I owe you at the Ranch on the 5th

Charmer

Congrats Charmer - I know how long you have waited for that beauty and couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. See ya at the Ranch.

That color combo will really turn some heads. Does the license plate say "Go Tech"?

Engine is from Probe Racing in CA (formerly Coast high Performance).

545 c.i., 950 hp carb, cam is a bit much for the street: .614/.636 lift and 238/248 duration (at .050), 10+:1 CR, Roller rockers and lifters (hyd), blue thunder intake, extra tall Ford Racing valve covers, original puke tank, MSD ignition, coil, and distributor.

I also bought both 17's and 15's. The 17's have the 335's on them and the 15's have the big 325 Drag radials on them. Doug Reed is taking my 15's to run n gun next weekend to break them in for me.

BTW, I got to see their new race car when I picked mine up. It's a side-oiler with 13:1 compression, solid lifters, and topped by a huge dominator carb. Makes almost 800 bhp. OH, and he's running straight pipes!!

Thumbs up WOW!!!!!!!!!

STRENTCH, SHE'S JUST BEAUTIFUL CONGRATULATIONS ON HER AND THE END OF YOUR LONG WAIT.

I DID HOWEVER NOTICE A SPOT ON THE DRIVERS SEAT PICTURE. WOULD THAT BE FROM THE "PUCKER" FACTOR THAT CAUSES SEVERE SUCTION IN THE HAINES AREA?

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER!!!!!

Stretch,

You mentioned "Special Paint"? What color Red and Black? What makes it special?

Ren,

The motor started off as a 460.

The paint is SPF's standard Red and Black. The stipe/meatball/pin stripe combo was extra, and it looks like they used a darker base coat because of all the black. This makes the red look a little darker/deeper. See pic. That's my guess, but I could be wrong. I can't wait to get a side to side look with some of the other red/white SPF's out there.

Stretch

I promise, as soon as mine is finished we are having a BBQ and Homebrew at my casa. What's the little gizmo to the left of the licence plate holder?

Working on the tranny. Looks as if the clutch pedal needs a "stop" to keep from pumping too much pressure. This is causing the throwout bearing to engage and never disengages.

Once I fix this ( I hope this week), it's a matter of taking two days to plug in the interior and give the car a buff and I'm on the road.
