More pics..

DC was great and after adjusting the suspension, torquing everything down and calibrating the speedometer Ludi is set with the car and very pleased.

In addition to my dads photos, Scott's older brother, Bob, also took some fantastic pictures. There's a whole set here:

a sample:

Cobra Complete, to DC..

Last night we finished the final touches, then washed, waxed and polished the car. We should arrive in Washington DC sometime tomorrow in the morning.

Door Panels, Radio and Speakers Complete

Today we finished installing the door panels, radio, speakers (theres also speakers behind the rear seats) and buttons below the radio for the heater, traction control and cigarette lighter.

Basically all that's left it to thoroughly clean the car!

Dash Completed

After weeks and many hours of work we (though Scott deserves most of the credit) finished the dash. It was a pain but it looks awesome!

We also ran the car for about 30 minutes and made sure everything is working properly. We went through all the gauges, lights, switches, wipers, signals, horn, electric fan, bled the power steering and made sure it ran right at operating temp (and a lot of other little things). All thats really left before we leave is the radio (where all the wires are hanging below the dash) which we've pretty much already pre-wired and the door panels.

dash progress

We finished the wiring to the gauges behind the dash. We wired everything into quick disconnects so the dash could be easily removed all at once. Finally after a few weeks we've finished all this gauge wiring, cutting, drilling and gluing/setting the dash pad to the dash.


A diagram for reference of the quick disconnects (we actually had to figure out on the stock harness where everything came from).




After test fitting the dash and taking measurements we epoxied this bracket to the back of the dash which will help hold it up on the passenger side.

And finally we started with the gauge cluster which was about 6 inches thick, and removed everything down to this circuit board. We had to keep it because it has a little chip embedded somewhere. Without this, the car wont start.

Next we'll finish the quick disconnects on the car side and finish the dash.
