Hello.
I go by Starboy on FFR's site, but this is my first post here.
I went the donor route on my build with a `99 Cobra I bought Sept. of `05. I got my kit delivered in December of `05, but it's still got a little ways to go. I've driven it with the body on now for about 10 miles to try to get some of the kinks out, but mostly working on mounting components. I went with aftermarket wiring from Ron Francis and The Detail Zone, Tbird rear spindles and brakes, IRS, and PS/PB (no ABS).
Probs:
My PS is leaking a little, rear diff is leaking a bit, rear wheels are rubbing when the tank is full (ordered a set of spacers to widen a bit), emergency brake needs to be tightened to engage, wheels need alignment, high beam beam works but indicator stays on all the time, and the wipers need to get installed.
Good:
All gauges, lights, switches, and drivetrain appear to work very well.
Once I get a few things fixed and installed I'm getting insurance and inspection to start the titling process.
I've gotten the body in pretty decent shape, but during the mounting process I've decided to have someone else finish up the body. If anyone knows of a good source near Dallas drop me an email.
Input is appreciated.
Don
