      If you’re suggesting sending men with weapons of war to take my weapons of war,then I’m fairly certain that’s what’s called an act of war… and the definition of tyranny.which coincidentally is the reason for the second amendment to begin with!

      I like that, but I think I will have the hood pop open and sit above the roof with some long arm hinges.

      I thought you were wondering about how to close the hood with the turbos up in it. My suggestion was going to be to rotate them about 200 degrees so they land inboard and down, and extend the exhaust pipes a bit. That would have them sitting in front of the suspension, in line with the engine, and lower down. How far forward and how far around would depend on how far you had to go to clear the suspension. That way the hood would close all the way down. If you want to make it open non-stock that would still be an option, but from the picture the hood wouldn't be able to close at all without making hood bulges to make room. As hot as turbos get, that would likely burn the paint off being that close.

      Ohh haha I'm sorry guys. I'm revising the engine cradle location to push the engine up and forward. I think I can rotate the turbos down at that point and still clear the suspension.

      I haven't posted in almost a year. Just thought I'd swing in and say the project isn't abandoned. I'm building a house and large shop so all my funds go to that. But by December I'll have plenty of space in my 60x80 ft shop.

      I went through this over 4 years ago. Built the house and then the shop. My only advice would be to completely finish the shop the way you want it before starting on the car again.

      I agree, It's a touchy subject but I've been waiting for this for a long time.

      Well guys. I've had one hell of a roller coaster ride these last 18 months.
      All in all its been terrible. I got promoted to Company 1SG and had no time for anything else. Then the Army put me on orders to San Diego? There's not even any army base there! I told my home builder that we needed to speed up the building process, and just when I got all my permits back the home builder breaks contract because I wouldn't be living in it for the first year. It doesn't stop there. The last 18 months I have been paying for not one, but two mortgages. What's funny is I can't afford to live in San Diego because the price for rent is around 5k, so we have to live 90 minutes away. On a high note I got to put the engine back into the Cobra and trailered it down to sunny CA 4 days ago. Here's to hoping the next 3 years aren't like the the last 3. Cheers.

      Thanks for the update although it does not sound fun. Hope things start going smoother.

      Yeah, it wasn't all bad. The shingles I got at 36 years old didn't take my eyesight.

      On a high note, I got tired of my staring at my daily driver so I painted it. As with anything that I do, I let it spiral out of control and made metal fender flares which turned a 1 week job into a 2 month job. But atleast it looks good-ish.Name:  IMG_20210906_101850.jpg

      A Courier! Had a friend in high school who had one of these with a Buick V6 in it. Not super fast, but decent.

      Yes! I'd like to put an ecoboost 4 in this but that's for another time.

      Nice Courier!

      Had an 81 Luv. I put a Buick V6 in it in the late 80's, Should have changed the rear end. Pics are from the around 83.

      It's been about a year since I've been on here. I haven't forgotten about the Cobra, I actually stare at it almost every day. In the last year I bought a small cnc machine with 4th axis, a 3d printer and 3d scanner to mess around with and I've finally gotten the hang of the printer and scanner atleast. So what better way to test my newly found skills than to print a car panel. Name:  20240308_180244.jpg
