Pretty cool looking, but those tires look pretty close to the frame and seem like they would rub when cornering.

One word comes to mind.... BEAST!!

Wild... Just wild!!!

Holly Crap! I'm speechless at this point. Man that's impressive work. I love the rims.

[quicksand]

nice work...you've been a busy boy

 

[BMEP]

Wow! Those tires look giant in the photos... I can't imagine them in person!

What's the outside diameter of the tires? I'm wondering how the wheel opening (body) fit will be.

Very cool!

Crazy! What kind of power does that engine make? What gears do you have in that rear end? I cant wait to see some numbers when that thing gets going.

I have always detested oversize wheels and Chevy motors in a Cobra, until now. That thing is wicked cool.

Mike.. It's a good thing we don't own Cobras, huh?!

Those asking aboout the tires, you can read the label on the back one:

Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R's
29x18.00R20

That means 29" overall diameter
18" wide sidewall
mounts on a 20" diameter rim

I have seen loads of great mods on this forum .... but for me this one takes the cake. No questions this will be in the works for my next Cobra.....

Wow!!

 

[trevor]

In the normal tire size config., that would be a 457/25 - 20. That's rediculous!

 

[ROBH511]

Great Job!!!!!

 

[jammin1]

Do you think you will be able to get the car to hook up. With that much rubber I would be afraid of breaking something in the drive train

That is a wild a$$ looking chassis. I generally dont like large diameter wheels but they look great with the huge tires.
I am curious if the tires really stick in corners and what it will look like with the body on it.
Right now it looks evil as he)).
I really like the fabrication, particularly the rear sway bar setup.
