Stripes
Well we got the stripes on it. This is a blue we came up with a few years ago. It is a violet base with a blue tint coat followed by 3 coats of clear. Hand sanded between of course.

Ram Air
We made up a Ram Air system for the Supercharger. The plate seals on the bottom of the hood and forces air into the chamber. The filter does it's thing and then it is down the pipe past the mass air flow sensor and in the Subercharger!

Front suspension
This is a shot of the front suspension and brakes. This is the Corvette set up. In this shot it still has the manual rack. We made up our own Power steering set up for this car.

Dash wires
We used a 96 Cougar for the parts car and fitting the Cougar harness to the car was a bit of a trick. Lot of wires to cut out and trace. If you want to go Fuel injection you have to pay to make it all work! What a mess! Helps when you have the wiring diagrams ;-)

Fuel tank
So what do you do when no one makes a tank for your ride for a fuel injected car? Make one up yourself!

Rolling
Well looks like we got in the frame ok. Drive shaft looks like it will be a bit short. Talk about your tight fit! Less than 1/4 inch on both sides of the trans pan!

302 Frame
This is the frame for the first Cobra kit we built. It was an early Everett Morrision car. We installed a powersteering rack when Everett said it could not be done on his car.

All done
Ok no cracks about the seats. We painted the car Silver and took it to show our "Freinds" at Morrision's" the car. They took lots of pictures of the kind of car we told them we could build for them. What do you know when we sold the second car we built and went to pick up the frame it had all of OUR ideas and they called it THEIR second generation car!!
Got to love it!!!

Good Bye to our first car
Well we sprayed a coat of tinted clear on the silver car and this guy came by and bought it for a person in Sweden! We got a call form another owner a few years later from France and a year or so later from another owner in Sweden again. As far as we no she is still tearing up the roads overseas.
