Flyin_Freddie's SPF #770
Here's my car on the day after delivery, 10/21/2000. SPF #770 sits in my driveway in Germantown, TN, just outside Memphis. It's Guardsman Blue - actually "Hi Tech Blue" from PPG, with white stripes. Wheels are Trigo 15" 5-pin knock-offs, shod with Goodyear Eagle GTII's since I really like a more original look to my replica. Pipes are silver ceramic coated. Since taking delivery, I've installed a SafeCraft Fire supression system, 5-point cam lock Simpson harnesses on both sides, a Holley 4150 750-HP w/mechanical secondaries, and a couple of appearance items. Thanks to Olthoff Racing in Charlotte, NC, for their most excellent work!

My Mechanic
This is my boy Zack. He actually took off the valve cover after I showed him how to do the first bolt! He was 3 on March 5, 2002

Neal on Merc
Neal takes advantage of an unattended Merc SUV for a photo-op. Actually, it's Neal's Merc which accompanied the GICR bunch as one of the chase vehicles.

"Burn Out" by R.C. Martindale
This montage was done by my Son Ray from video footage he shot of me showing off. It is my favorite Windows background in it's full sized original form.
The stripes and emblem background is actually a close up of the car and the pictures are overlaid on it. Pure ingenuity and creativity. He completed it January 31, 1998 after several days work.

still from '2Fast 2Real for Hollywood' movie
This was for a film intended to poke fun at those 'fast & furious' movies none of us were supposed to actually 'race' we did anyway....I lost. 1 1/2 car length to a 10 sec. race car w/nitrous&slicks ain't bad- is it, considering I had street tires and spun badly.

contrary to ones belief:this is NOT a bench for fat women!
I actually found a large woman sitting on my front fender, pocketbook along side, when I turned back toward my car. She seemed insulted when my wife told her to remove her $hitlocker from our fender. Imagine if it was alum!

460 Manual Cast Iron Ford Bell Housing (aka 351M/400M Bronco)
351M/400M bell housing- This was actually the first part purchased for my project, wow, what a long strange trip its been ! This required the use of a short-input shaft TKO 600 kit. I used a needle bearing type crankshaft pilot bearing.
Re-cond bell housing waiting for her mate for life
uses a top-loader bolt pattern and only 6.25 inches deep great for STREET duty Cobras. Total investment was $210 after heli-coil repair

Finally....a rolling chassis.
Also a picture of a Stainless fuel tank that we just made. It actually will bolt on from underneath the frame and will be removeable once the body is on. It still need to be polished.
