She’s a runner!

Sorry for the delayed updates on this build. I’m a big fan of posting photo on my build and since photobucket decided to lock down my pictures, it’s been to much of a pita to post properly. I’m try this for the first time so, bear with me...

In the Factory Five Racing Cobra world, this is a go-cart. The best way to test out the major components and a absolute blast to drive!

Running great!

Update...

Sort of a lame excuse of an update, but I have been working on it.

Dash is "in"

Good to see you back, but those photo links don't seem to be working for me.

Good luck, Paul.

With the lost of Photobucket, I’m struggling to find a good place to host my photos. Any better solution out there?

You could try the Album option on here:

I use Google, but that became a pain and requires me to use an old iMac to create the links needed on the forum.

Cheers, Paul.

Long overdue update...

I purchased a 4 post lift to add parking space and make my build easier. The Cobra will be stored off site and I'll be able to move the "D" up and down to access the build better.



Side view: Yes, I'm a HUGE fan of side pipes! Ford 8.8 rear end w/ 4.10 gears. The rear suspension is Factory Five Racing's 3 link



Better view of the rear end...



Here's the heart of the build, Ford Small Block 302 from an '00 Ford Explorer SUV. This is what will drive the Jaguar purist crazy. Simple cam change and valve spring upgrade will net 300+ HP. Personally, let 'em pound salt, I have less the 1K in the entire drivetrain.



Dash board: Built from a combination of a bunch of different gauge types. Some Alfa Romeo Jeager, ELING speedo & tach



I'll post more as time allows, I need to finish the final wiring and get the hood hinges figures out.

On the road! Finally!
