"Go-carting", Contour not too happy, kicked to the curb in favor for the Cobra.

I'm really going to hate to put the body on and cover up the engine!

Getting there, time to wire it and get the body on!

i am in awe! one day i will build a F5 type 65 coupe, one day.
 
looks great! that t-5 probably won't last too long though... if you are thinking about a tko, let me know and i'll hook you up!
 
My buddy and his dad used to have the classic Blue/White stripe...

His dad is a huge enthusiast of any car (currently owns: Porsche GT3, Subaru STI, 350Z, Ford Lightning, Corvette '65 and '05 Supercharged and a Lexus SUV for the mom and a Noble GTO-3R) used to have the Blue/White scheme... I think it's the most classic to see... But obviously do what you want to your own appeal... I personally think any car of that class would do right with any color
 
That green would be sweet . If it were mine (which it's obviously not) , I'd lose the stripes & go full green .


Check out my friend's ERA Cobra . It's a 289 comp car done up in a sweet silver (of course pics don't do it justice) - by far the nicest I've seen in person :drool: , plus I get to drive it :) ! Hi-po 289 , 5-speed , jag rear , pipes out the back like original ... it's a great/easy car to drive comfortably . He wanted to be different & do a 289 .
 
very nice...I wish my dad would bite the bullet & build one of these.

The BRG would be great...no stripes tho. I want to hear a sound clip!
 
Sweet 289 Comp Cobra!!!!

ERA builds nice cars, very period correct. I love the 289 FIA car they build but It was out of my price range (plus there is a waiting list). Factory Five's can be built on the cheap using donor parts or like mine using all new parts. Too bad Factory Five has not built a FIA/slab side Cobra kit.
