OP F5R Cobra New CEG\'er F Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 18 Albany, NY	I wanted to share some pictures of my "other project", I'm building a Factory Five Racing '65 Roadster (Shelby 427S/C Cobra) component car. If you haven't heard about F5R, here's a link to their web page: http://www.factoryfive.com/index.html I'm about half way home A low donor build taking shape (no used parts) Can you see my '99 SE sport in the back ground? Huge 315 35 17 Sumitomo's on 10.5" wheels, 3.73 rear gears 302 from a '01 Ford Explorer (only 2100 miles), change cam and springs and it's good for about 300 hp at the crank Wilwood pedals/masters set up Baer Brakes 13/12 "Bear Claw" system What I'm shooting for..... Hope to be road worthy in a year! Wish me luck! If you're interested in Cobras, here's a great site to visit and learn more: http://www.ffcobra.com/ Cheers, Pat 99 Contour SE Sport V6 MTX Frost Silver Beginning the transformation to a Mondeo ST200 clone. 215/45/17's on Mondeo ST200 wheels Building a Factory Five Racing Cobra

Had a hot 302 with a Vortec S/C on it...man was that thing sick! It sounded like a jet taking off when he would get on it. How long have you been working on it for?

Good work so far. keep it up. Post some pics when you start to complete more and more. I am just in love with that car. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Never know what the future may bring. 300 hp in a 2100lb car gives it a power to weight ratio only found in a few exotics. 99 Contour SE Sport V6 MTX Frost Silver Beginning the transformation to a Mondeo ST200 clone. 215/45/17's on Mondeo ST200 wheels Building a Factory Five Racing Cobra
