The Wilwood Brakes from Mike Forte arrived today.

We received our Power Steering Rack from Breeze Automotive today. It is a remanufactured 1987 - 1993 Mustang 3 turn to lock rack in gloss black powder-coat with 1" rack extenders installed. According to Breeze, this is the best power rack available for the FFR Roadster or Coupe. In addition, we also picked up the Breeze #70634 Solid Offset Rack Mounting Kit. According to Breeze, these are billet aluminum solid offset bushings to lower and center the steering rack in Mk3-3.1-4 Factory Five Roadster...

We initially purchase a complete 2004 Mustang Cobra Independent Rear Suspension for the Roadster but it turns out I would need to spend too much money to make it work. The width isn't correct and it would take too many additional parts. So we've decided to sell it and use the money to buy all new parts. We already have the Cobra IRS Center Differential Carrier with the 28-spline Torsen diff from Mike Forte and the axles from FFR,...

I bought a set of BBK Shorty Ceramic Headers. These are part number 33920 (headers) and 15442 (J-pipes) which fit the 5.0L Coyote or 4.6L 3V. Update: I've recently decided to sell these so if anyone is interested I'll let these go for $500 plus shipping. Message me on here if you're intersted. I'm upgrading to the 4-into-4 Stainless Headers instead.

We ran the 1/2" RapidAir MaxLine air delivery system lines and accessories tonight. One more step towards getting the shop complete.

Time to begin the transformation. We started off sweeping the floors to get all of the dirt out. There were really bad grease stains on the floor and it all needed to be removed. We tried every brand of industrial floor cleaners and degreasers we could get our hands on, but $200+ later the stains still remained. We even tried power-washing it with little luck. We were almost defeated but finally tried one last-ditch effort and bought a big $4 bottle of Dawn,...

We just moved into our new house and will be starting a project to renovate the garage into our new shop before building the Cobra. It is a mess and will need a lot of work, but we have high hopes and big plans for this place.

Today I moved the Cobra out of my old house and into storage. Looks like the build will be on hold for a while.

Carroll Shelby has passed away. I know there was so much more you dreamed of doing but I am grateful for everything you had accomplished. You changed the world in so many ways. Rest now and God Speed. Jan 23, 1923 - May 10, 2012 Read more on the The Dallas Morning News.

I just got the aluminum pieces back from being powder-coated Silver metallic.
