Ok, I am new to this site and been reading alot of the posts and love the ideas, my project has been on going for about 5 years now. I am active duty Navy so time and money are at a premium all work has been done by myself in a one car garage.
I started out with a 67 coupe that looked fairly nice until i removed all the "bondo", aluminum sheet metal, and rivets that held the car together. It was originally a 6cyl 4 lug drum brake car, so no regrets cutting it up.
As of now what has been done include:
Replaced
Floors trunk floor and frame
torque boxes
front frame rails
shock towers
front aprons
rear quarters
trunk lid
fenders
doors
Now for the list of mods:
mini tubed the rear wheel wells
moved firewall back 4"
Installed 2001 cobra IRS with adjustable coil overs
custom frame connectors and cross member
shaved drip rails
flared wheel well lips
shaved door handles
shaved gas cap
eliminated cowl vents
notched front shock towers
retro fitted 2004 cobra tubular K member
2004 cobra rack and pinion
2004 cobra Hydro boost master cyl
adjustable front 2004 struts
14" shelby front rotors
4 piston willwood calipers
13" rear brake rotors
95 mustang anti lock brake system
universal Hotrod tilt wheel column
"eleanor" front end
67 shelby hood not the "eleanor"
The drive train:
97 cobra 4.6 teskid aluminum block
97 cobra forged crank
Manley H-beam rods
Manley forged 18cc pistons
stainless steel rings
all ARP 2000 fasteners
2001 cobra 4v Heads Ported
2001 cobra intake Ported
Accel DFI stand alone EFI gen7
Twin T70 turbos
Transmission T56 with 26 spline input shaft
Pro 5.0 shifter
Well that is all I have so far, I have alot to do I only have the long block built and am very intimidated when it comes to the wiring
Also need to figure out what to use for a front sway bar.
