    Back from the frame pulling shop. The front rails where over almost 7 inches from the wreck! He got and 03 cobra hood and nose to put back on it. Hopefully the rad support and bumper bracket will be here shortly.

    Still waiting on a rad support. So I'll start the cage. The rear seat sheet metal came out really cleanly with my new blue point spot weld cutter

    Thats my pony that Domination is fixing

    Looking good so far fellas...any thing out of there that anyone needs is definitely for sale as its already over budget. Available stuff right now...Complete Mach 1000 Stereo system, All 4 leather seats (both of which are spoken for but in case it doesn't work out), door panels, headliner, rear interior quarters, A/C compressor and lines and some misc items. Also, I have a set of charcoal 17X8 Bullitt wheels that came off of it with about 20,000 mi on it as I put the cobra R brake kit on and they won't clear. Keep up the good work guys.

    Coming along nicely. Here is my man Dan preping the front frame rails for the new rad support.









    And here is that nice new piece welded in















    Unfortunately we where under a extremely short deadline, so refinishing is going to have to wate till after he races this weekend. So we snapped the panels on for some track time. mmmmmmmmm cobra.










    I even had the owner, Chris, helping to get this thing ready to run on sunday. Here he is measuring for support straps that go on the plexi winshield.









    And finally the plexi installed.















    Lucky for Chris he did well this weekend, so I won't kneecap him for makin me work so much. The car should be back to Domination tonight to continue with the cage.

    and some more.......... The torque arm panhard bar rear end setup, and a dope sway bar.

    Can you say Caster!?!?! Sweetness!




    Up top, more sheetmetal came out and a little more cage went in. Trying to get this thing down to 2800lbs with driver is gonna be tough.
