Beautiful. I even like the wheels, albeit I'd prefer them a little smaller and more tucked into the fenders rather than flush.
Btw, this would only be more awesome if it had a T67 turbo instead of the M112!!

I have a question, about that new Cobra engine. That engine is fuel injected and in the original set up would be hooked up to the on board computer. So when you put it in an old mustang like this, how do you set it up, do you keep it with a computer or with out or what? How do you set that up in this car?

Thanks guys for the kind words and compliments. Jason and I only see the areas that need attention or finishing when we look at it...part of the problem being the builder. There was almost a murder before the car left when my upholstery guy hung me out to dry on the carpet and then showed up with the wrong color and fit....there is much with the interior that still needs finishing and is not as we intended so the work still goes on. The lack of a front bumper was thanks to 2 problems....first the chrome shop that supplied the bumpers sent us 2 tweaked bumpers that didn't fit....while I made arrangements to have another front bumper waiting for us in Las Vegas, the brackets were made wrong and did not sit where they needed to be on the LH side so the decision was made to leave it "R model style" and just go with it....I wasn't happy but had little choice at that point. With the upholstery guy dropping the ball I completely forgot about the ebrake boot so that was missing and still has to be made. My fault was the speakers...I gave John the wrong size when I sent him to get the pair. Jason and I ended up covering the front seats...they sat for a week at the trim shop and I went and grabbed them because nothing had been done. I hate relying on others for this very reason.
The first couple miles were put on the car in Las Vegas....I thought we could unload at the center but had to do so in a lot away from there so it was driven...the exhaust note is amazing...and it feels nothing like a vintage Mustang.
I was trying to get more updates and pics to Brad but the wifi there was spotty at best.
Believe it or not the radiator is a factory '04 Cobra radiator....we modified the car to accept it.
It is still fuel injected except we changed the fuel system to a return style setup. The factory ECU is mounted under the dash and we used factory wiring harnesses to the engine. The chassis harness was a painless wiring kit for a '67 Mustang. Jason spent countless hours removing what we didn't need from the harnesses and keeping what we did need...this was not an easy plug and play deal.

I'd be interested in knowing about the ride quality, the handling, and its estimated weight.

Ride quality is better than one might expect...it's very firm but not jarring or uncomfortable...handling is off the hook, if you remember the movie TRON...it's something like that
. The suspension is capable of 1.5 G's according to Griggs. As far as weight....it would be pure speculation at this point because I have not weighed the car yet. As we get further along I will take video of the car for sound and driving impressions and I also plan to weigh it.
I think I have that on Beta tape,,, or maybe laser disc,,, i'll look tonight...mann i'm getting old
