Beautiful! Is that Viper Blue?

Phil

 

[Jonathan]

Yes, it is Viper Blue. With the overcast it doesn't look very bright. We haven't had a sunny day since I finished.

 

[Phil Manro]

Hey don't complain, I'm staring at a couple feet of snow at the moment! Oh well, April is only 3 months away...

Phil

 

[Jonathan]

Good point. It has been cold here, but no snow and definitely not too cold for a few rides.

Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sine you are in a snow free area, drive drive drive!!!!!

Congrats Jonathon!!!! She's a beauty. What size wheels & tires do you have? I like how well they fill the wheel wells. Also, is that a BIRD in the garage? Sure looks like one.
Have fun and enjoy.

 

[Jonathan]

They are the 17 inch wheels from Factory Five.

Yes, that is a '56 T-Bird in the garage. It has gotten a little neglected since I started the Cobra. The transmission vent is plugged and it spits ATF out the dipstick tube and all over the engine.

Jonathan,
Very nice car, looks like the "fit and finish" are first class. I like the lack of emblems on it...the clean look.

What engine & mods?

IRS or solid rear?

Congratulations!

Superb, Jonathan! I agree that is looks very nice without any emblems. You should be proud, as it appears you have done an excellent job there. Is it as much fun to drive as it was to build ?

It is a very basic build. I am running a 302 EFI. Pretty stock except for an E303 cam and Mac unequal length headers. O went with a solid rear. The only interesting departure from the manual is I have AC on it. I have a bunch of photos of the AC at the following URL

BTW I did the paint work in my garage. I'm pretty proud of the results. It is the first car I did the paint and body work on.

Jonathan, Very nice job. It look's great. It look's like you did an outstanding job on the paint. I did mine as well, it's a ton of work. Good job.

Beautiful!!

Very interested in your AC install. Is this Vintage Air. Could you post some additional pictures and some part numbers for the AC pieces. It looks like a straight forward installation but I bet it was not as easy as it looks.

Where I am its gets to be 100+ and AC sure would be nice.

Thanks
Bruce

The AC unit is from Southern Rods. It is a superfrost unit. Click here for their catalog info. I have not charged it yet so I do not know how well it will work.

Jonathan,

Thanks for the information. Keep us posted on the results of the AC/heater installation if you would please.
