It needs a paint job to get it looking good again.
Ill be getting started on that in a week or so.

So far the modifications are:
Ported upper and lower cobra intake, Ported Gt40 heads, ARP head bolts and intake bolts, 1.7 rockers, Custom Steve Maddox cam, long tube headers, x-pipe, Bassani mufflers, Qa1 k member, qa1 control arms, Coil overs up front, TKO transmission, Spec stage 3 clutch and pressure plate, Aluminum driveshaft, 3.55 gears, BBK upper and lower control arms in the rear, rear end girdle, 255 in tank pump, 100 shot of nitrous.

Other parts that I have sitting in the garage floor to install right now are:
F.A.S.T. Ecu and data logger, 31 spline axles, and a auburn pro differential

Great looking Cobra!

Nice!!

very cool :nice:

Nice ride

Nice ride.

Good looking ride. I like those style hoods

Thanks. You still working on the 03/04?

I think he has it mounted to a wall :rofl:

Lol I still have it. Haven't worked on it in awhile. Been saving up to build my shop

What kind of shop are you building?

Drove the car for the last time the way it sits today.
Installed a new digital 6 plus box because the old one quit firing. Gonna send it off for repair so I’ll have a backup.
Called F.A.S.T. Had the numbers on the ecu I have run and found out it was setup to run sequential fuel injection, individual cylinder tuning, and 4 different stages of nitrous. Guess I’ll be running a couple of kits.
If any of you have owned a 94-95 mustang you know that if you change the cam, maf, or anything else on these cars the computer goes stupid and cant seem to find an idle without a tune, or chip so I’m going to go ahead and install the fast ecu. While I’m at it I will hide as much of the under hood wiring as I can because looking at the factory bird nest is getting old.

Anyone here have experience with tig welders? I was going to buy some gauges to put in the car but if I’m installing the fast ecu I don’t think I will be able to use the ones I wanted and pretty much everything I wanted will be displayed on the laptop when tuning. So instead of buying gauges for the inside of the car I’m looking at buying a tig welder. I just don’t want to spend $3500 on something that I’m not going to use all the time, but would be nice to be able to smooth the engine bay, or weld in a cage down the road, or build my own intake piping.

The FAST setups are pretty awesome. I just installed a FAST EZ EFI 2.0, FAST Dual sync distributor, FAST E6 Ignition, and FAST E92 coil onto my step dads 1967 chevy truck that I built for him. It runs fantastic now!!

I used to have an Eastwood Co. TIG welder, seems like it was about $700 and it worked great. I am hearing good things about the new TIG's that Harbor Frieght is selling. prices look reasonable on those also.

30x50. As far as tig welders I have a miller diversion 180. Great entry level machine

Yea I looked at the new welders that Harbor freight has online the other day.
The Vulcan Omni pro 220, and then I was looking at the Eastwood TIG 200 digital, and Eastwood MP250i. Just don’t know which would be better. The Vulcan Omni Pro 220 I don’t think has been out long enough to have any longevity problems but then again its a harbor freight welder. The Eastwood welders I don’t know if I want a all in 1 stick, tig, and arc welder or a tig only. Not for sure but I’m thinking that maybe the all in 1 might not last as long because with more functions comes more problems down the road?

The F.A.S.T. Ecu that I have is a classic fast, with a external data logger that came out of Doug Mangrum’s Pro 5.0 car. I wont have every bell and whistle that the newer fast systems have like bumping in at the line or ecu self tuning, but should have plenty of function for what I want to do.

Personal garage, or you planning on runing a business out of it?
I just remember wiping the drule of the table while looking at your build thread years ago, and didn’t know if you were going to open a performance shop or not?
Thanks for the input on the welder, $2,200 may have to go used for one of those :)

It'll be my personal shop. I have plenty of projects to fill it with lol

Need to finish the silver bullet first. I’m ready to see what that thing will do!

I know that car well. Taylor is a buddy of mine.

As for welders... check these out:

Small world. Taylor has been a friend of mine for years. I tried to buy both cars but he wasn’t coming off of his baby.
Do you have one of the Everlast welders?
Car wont look the same forever. It had a 96-98 deck lid on it when I got it.
I bought a 94-95 cobra decklid to put back on it when I get ready to paint the car. I had originally planned on selling the 96-98 but think I may just hold on to it, and shave the holes. Then I can change them out when I want to go wingless.

Everlast has great welders for the price. They have alot of options for the price that would cost 3x for a lincoln or miller. If you get can one with a pulse feature will help alot

Thanks, I may run by lowes, and Home Depot today to look and see what they have.

Well after a night of drinking with some friends, and talking about how much money I was going to spend to get the cobra where I wanted it. I sold the car.
I have bought another toy.

What kind of toy?
