1966 Street Beast Cobra, Grabber Orange
This is the car in June 2008 before several recent changes were made. Additions included front and rear 12 way adjustable coil over conversions, custom upper and lower rear control arms with polyurethane bushings and upper rear Spherical Bearings, passenger side roll bar, 17" authentic Hallibrand wheels and Kuhmo tires, stainless heat shields on side pipes, custom grilles on all front oppenings, heavy duty oil cooler, LPS rear "Ultimate 8.8" differential cover, engine and firewall paint work to match exterior color, new orthopedic seats in grey leather, and other ninor changes. All work was done by me.

Night Rally Kit installed. Nov.18,2008
The Night Rally Kit was only availible in 1966. Availible from all Ford dealers. The kit relocated the Mustang Fog Lights to the lower Valance.

Shell Valley build
The 390 FE (formerly owned by Bob Brown) was removed from the frame so that all of the mounts (engine, roll bar, shoulder harness, oil filter, etc.) could be final welded and the frame painted. The oil dipstick tube was relocated to the outside of the lower alternator bolt.

Ford_Raditor_Heat_Rejection_Chart- Street Rod Example
This chart compares the heat rejection rate (cooling capacity) of three different types of radiators tested on an old Ford Street Rod. Coolant flow rate is held constant at 7 gpm (typical flow at idle perhaps, not sure where its being measured ???). It graphs the heat rejection for each radiator versus air flow through the radiator core. It is comparing 3 diff rad designs/materials at different CFMs through the core. The more air flow you have for a given coolant flow rate (7 gpm in this example) , the higher the heat rejection, basically linear in this example. The author of this graph is most likely selling the high efficiency radiator showing the improvement over the other two designs. To sum it up, the radiator at the top of the chart appears to be the most efficient at a low coolant flow rate (7 gal/min) over all air flows tested. Ya see how important rad core/tank design is? I learned something here.

500+ HP Engine Water Jacket Coolant Flow Requirements
This chart shows the linear relationship between the heat rejection (load) of the coolant and the required (calculated) coolant flow in the engine water jacket. It is determined for 3 different temp gradients of the engine inlet and outlet coolant temp. This engine example is from a 500+ horsepower supercharged gas engine assumed to have heat rejection up to maximum power (8,000 btu/min). Why do we care? If you cant keep engine temps under control at speed under load, you may have: 1) insufficient water flow, 2) undersized radiator, or 3) insufficient air flow through the radiator that needs to be addressed. This engine will require coolant flow in the lower part of the curve in street applications (low heat rejection), but for racing/track use this engine will require coolant flow rates towards the top of each curve. For older V8's pre-emissions, the common design target is to keep the radiator Inlet @ 190 F and outlet @ 180F or an average core temp of 185F at steady state conditions or the upper curve shown. Modern engines may use a little higher 195F-185F or rad core avg temp of 190F.

Lower rear arm
Free to move upwards with about 1/4 " room above the arm in the gusset.....

Rear of lower link arm
This looks like it will bind if the axle moves up at all, will probably have to be rounded off. The arm has two welded bends in it so I doubt I can replace it accurately with a tube.

Opposite side rear attachment of lower arm.
Doesn't look like it's going to allow much vertical movement either...given the square end of the link in a square receptacle...
