Cut and happy...now more glass work to give the flares edge some body and strength. The exposed tire is what I was ultimately after - thanks for the suggestions! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Look like I'm too late to comment on the rest flares. I was goi g to recommend you leave them and paint the area that was not part of the taper black. That way the visual would be that the flare had a taper but the glass would still be there.

Maybe next time I'll be I time.

Had some life events that has caused some delays...

1) The LS7 is in Houston in the process of being rebuilt...this isn't a quick fix.
2) The Fireant BOSS body work is being approved for the nest step tomorrow...paint within a couple weeks.
3) Much needed items were modified at the machine shop for the Boss motor - should have been this way from the get-go.
4) I started mocking up the Gulf40 drivetrain - ultimately, the trans would be pulled apart, blasted and powder-coated. More to come shortly on this...the picture at the bottom is a chassis like mine - this represents the potential of what is possible.

Will the GT be tracked or raced at all, street and show, or what exactly? It's going to be something fantastic for sure - great build Tony, keep us up on things.
And Happy Thanksgiving!

Andyrew and Mike,

That car IS amazing...certainly the pinnacle of what can be done with a good amount of custom parts. That car is a dual purpose car - I believe mine will only be a street car. I know first hand the monumental difference between a hot-rod and a reliable, effective race car - they are universes apart!

I also own a true dedicated sequential shift race car - it would run circles around the Gulf40; therefore, I am 99% sure it will be a street-car-hot-rod-vehicle.

The Coyote motor would be really sweet but they also complicate the build in this small chassis - obviously, it can be done but at the cost of cost. I now have all of the major mechanical components for the entire build...these require an estimated 1000-1250 man-hours. It is hard to believe but they are very complex builds - especially if you are targeting the example above - that has WAY more time invested + talent!

PS: Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Tony

Here is the original 289 out of #1067...our system has an identical layout - just a little more compact; fairly close though!

Wow. Its been a long time since I have chimed in on any progress! I want to thank those that chimed in months ago regarding the flares/radius quandry I was in - I am happy with the end result! It is Cobra-esk...

The "GT40 project" now resides in Los Angeles (unlike a 914 - I simply did not fit); the LS7 is still in Houston at Late Model Engines; and lastly, the Cobra is going back together. I installed the body over about 6 hours today. Slowing moving forward...

Kelty - I do as well...thanks!

John - It is a RIOT - deafening load (much too load to be honest). I do not fit into this one either, sadly. It is probably best - an 1100+ street car is a recipe... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

This would be close John but this 600 ci unit has 125 less hp than the Cobra's... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Tony,

Have you been to the Cobra Experience in Martinez during your travels to the West Coast?

It's about 25 minutes away from my place and I've been wanting to go back since visiting there a few years ago.

Wow. That is really cool! No, I have not been there but will try to make it happen
the next time I am in the area. I see the narrator is out of Willits - I had no idea as my family passed through there on my our way to Fort Bragg a few years ago as well as this last Summer. I needed you sooner!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Cheers!
