Wrecked Cobra Rebuild Part 19 - We did stuff!
I gotta say, that looks like a really tight bend for the cable coming out of the actuator. From the video at @20:22, the end of the actuator housing looks to only be a couple inches forward of that angled bracket the output cable goes thru, and it's tilted what looks like 75 degrees up from straight behind the actuator. Sure it works, but that cable is going to dig into everything it's touching much worse than if it were all more of a straight line.
I know it has been a while, but in series you are going to want to address questions up front in case someone like me comes to this one first. Professionals drive you crazy with this kind of thing because they tend to do it every time the show starts back up, because people can join any time. It also fills your time out too. So, I came here and am not sure of; what cobra is it? More specifically what type year style a short on why wrecked any other details. Now I can view another video for this but not sure if I want to. I read all the other comments and maybe it is a Mk 4 cobra? At least that is what you pulled the measurements from. I am just trying to see early frame design and evolution and I can't seem to find anything at least on youtube about it. I did see under a 66, and I see with yours you have the two big beefy circle bars running the length at least. Cool stuff regardless.
so you are bragging on a rack that gives you "trash" bolts that are SS that you replace with bolts that will rust?
Nice gel coat crack,I see it too?
Ken has my car right now!
I do like the subtlety of that paint job.
I have a question 🙋♂️ do you have a link for this rack
Thanks for taking the time to share with us
What kind of front end weight will this work with? I'm looking to drop a Duramax into a '63 Impala and wanted to know if it will have the umph to turn the wheels with the vehicle not moving.
I think someone forgot to cut the holes for the tail lights. 🤔
Great fit! Definitely one of the easiest things I've ever done on any car (thanks to the very helpful video and written instructions. A+!
What 'brand' is that unit? Asking for a friend...
E-Stopp
@@shortattentionspangarage1312 You R a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you...
Great content and project. Speeding fps is not helping, we want to see the process!
its not emergency brake its only parking brake.
Thanks for the video. We just installed this.
Greg, where did you end up installing the brain box?
Dude, Really wanted to hear what you had to say but the shaking camera makes it unwatchable.
Is it too late to tell you that you missed a spot? 🤣😂
I have only changed the oil on my car. I was a history major in college. I have some lego experience. Can I build a FF Cobra?
I like the CNC reservoirs. Also going with the same ebrake. Have to have ac/heat and at least a soft top here in rainy England. I thought about making reservoirs from Jack Daniels bottles, but not sure they can handle the pressure.
Great channel. Love your enthusiasm toward the FFR Roadsters. Looking forward to being part of that community myself.
LOVE the color on both Cobras. The green matches my Snake Skin Green Dodge Viper and the orange one turned out bad a$$ with the black out package. I'm planning a FFR Type 65 build for my retirement. I live less than 2 hours from Ken's. Glad I came across your channel. I mean, if you're driving over 14 hours from Arizona to get there, CLEARLY he is the man to go to .
Great color on the FFR Cobra. What is the name of the green? ? Looks like the "snake skin green" on my Viper.
What type of steering column is that it has a directional signal on the column
I have a F5 427 Windsor Shortblock Cobra, am considering EFI and power steering additions, any thoughts?? Also what kind of fuel / octane ?? Newbie here.
Hey Brad, give me a call and we can talk in depth. Always fun the highest octane even with Efi. We like the sniper stealth series. And we sell an electric power steering kit. But you can call 520-800-6006.
Shitty quality by factory5 built! Cheap chap cheap
To compromise the metal .will rust later on .wind noise .drag lower mileage. If one day you need xtra space just add on a trailer .
Trailers suck out on the trail......
What'd in the center of that dash ??
how did you get the black trim around the windshield?
We powder coated this one. But you can also paint it.
where did you get the carbon fiber dash? i looked at Trufiber and i couldn't find it
You can't find the dash anywhere. Because it was custom maid and laid up by us. If you go into the playlist, you can see us building it.
where did you get the braces for the splitter?
Local race car shop in town. You can find them on summit or speedway.
How to make frame whindshield sir?? Can you share video please.
Looks great…. Chips are just the red badge of courage.
Thanks for the video. Just curious, how thick is that lexan? Does it flex at speed?
The lexan is 3/16. No it does not flex.
The opening made me laugh it was great!!!!
Me tooo thats why I had to include it.
@@520speedworks6 I’m definitely happy to see some new footage posted!
I like battery in trunck, but why delete the roll bar?
I like the original look of just one roll bar. When the trunknis open you can see the unused mount. So off it went.
How come you didn't go shirtless at my place? Great to see you back!
UMMMM remember it was freezing there and I live in Arizona
What group battery did you use?
No sure what group it falls into but use XS power D1200
Do you think this would fit a mkII body? Great video!
Thanks. It will not fit perfect on a MK3 with out doing some body work. Have not seen it personally. But if your car is not painted then it will work because you can fill and remove where needed
Glad to see you back at work! Cobra looks great!
Thanks, Lots to come!
Oh No!! TMS!!! 😁This is family show. Now, that splitter does look nice on the car and you'll be happy you put the braces on. 👍
Sorry Glenn, I'll Try harder next time it was just too funny!
@@520speedworks6 🤣
Nice job as usual, good to see ya guys back.
Thanks again! Dan
Nice to see you back, cant wait for more videos.
Thank Matt. Hope you guys are well.
It’s been a year, did you find a way to put the channel trim back on?
Dan Joe, Sold the Truck before we got that far. But it would have been easy.
Green???? Yukk
It's an acquired taste I guess. My Dodge Viper is in Snake Skin Green with black stripes. Looks very similar to this color. Looks amazing in the sun.
Damn a orange Cobra!!! Cold bloody!!
What brand are those air bags ?
They are Air Lift Performance
My E Stopp kit didn’t have any 90 degree brackets, mounting bolts, and only one nut on the e Stopp cable. Do you no longer provide that with the e Stopp?
It is a seperate item that needs to be ordered depending on what you are working on. Here is the link for the Cobra kit.520speedworks.com/shop/ols/products/cobra-install-kit-mk31-4
@@520speedworks6 I most likely knew that when I ordered it but forgot. Thanks for the follow up. I’m under the car now tying to see if I can angle the aft end of the e Stopp up a bit to reduce the bend in the cable. I’ll post some photos when I get it sorted out.
Such an amazing transformation from wrecked to custom. Congrats on a beautiful car, and the diligence to make the vids and bring us along for the ride. So many valuable tips that will help on "our" project cars. Great job!!
Much appreciated!
can you dri mve the truck and show how it looks on the road.
The truck has been sold and no longer have access.
