Factory Five Mk4 Cobra Build

[Wicked98Snake]

So how much time have you spent sitting in the emty shell making engine noises?

Awesome, lol, I would do it too.

I used to work at a shop where we put 4 or 5 of them together and they are a blast to drive.

It didn't come with brakes?

What are some of the essentials that don't come with it?

Very cool! I want. As soon as my 69 project is out of the way one of those is next on my list. Hopefully.

I must be slipping as I don't know this answer....but what spindles does it use for the front SLA? curious as they look similar to SN95 stuff with an adapter plate where the strut would usually bolt to.

thanks!

Yea Im running spindles from a 90 foxbody. There is an adapter that bolts the spindle to the upper control arm. There are several different set ups you can run though ex. pin drive, FFR hubs, or a mustang donor set up like mine.

The complete kit comes with everything except motor/tranny/rear diff/wheels and tires.

The base kit utilizes many donor mustang parts + whats listed above. I could have used the donor rotors/hubs, but im going with drilled and slotted rotors on all four corners, with wilwood braking components.

These kits sure are awesome, and a bargain for what you get. I however would opt for something a little less popular - I've been eying the Mongoose '63 Grand Sport kits for years.

Havent done a whole lot, but I got all the aluminum panels marked and pulled off. And yesterday got my 3 link rear end installed.

A good friend of mine built one of those several years back...has a 377 Windsor with an S-Trim on it....very fast....dangerous fast actually.

He did white over silver on his...when he first mentioned it I thought no way, but then when I saw it I actually really liked it...very different. However his wheels and rollbar sucked serious ass.....looked like a dune buggy.

I always tried to talk him into losing the bar altogether and having some nice aluminum bar-ends made to cap off the openings. He would never do it tho.

Where was that second pic taken? I think I was there that day...

Wish I knew a completion date, depends on how deep my wallet goes.

Looks like fun, wish I would have never sold mine.

Badass progress! These car are a blast to drive around. What engine setup are you planning on? A coyote swap with a 6060 would be bad ass!!

Very nice, was it a Factory Five? If so was it an easy swap to the rectangular tail lamps?

Im going with a 347. The coyote would be bad ass indeed, theres a couple guys on ffcars.com that have went that route.
