Looks good!

1. You gotta fix the faded part around the tail light.

2. Before you buy the H pipe, Do you plan on doing lontubes? Because if so that H pipe wont work and you will have to spend money all over again on a shorty one.

Looks clean. I like the color too. Different for sure. You have to remember Cobras rev higher than a pushrod V8. They can handle 4.10s for DD.

I don't ever plan on running long tubes. I will run manifolds for a while then switch to shorty headers. The car is never going to be built, so torquey bolt ons are enough for me.

The overdrive is incredible in this thing, 1800rpm at 60mph. It gets damn good gas mileage for being a sports car.

as for the hard cranking issue, i let the fuel pump prime for a few seconds longer and it went away.

The body needs a little work. It has a small dent in the pass fender and back bumper is all faded and sagging, few door dings, but once i get it running right, i'll have my friend repaint the car for me.

luckily i have solid axle.. i'm more into drag racing and not carving up corners so much.

But this thing needs shocks ASAP. Rear is bouncing around everywhere haha.

What kind of spring/shock setups is everyone running? Comming from nissan world, a popular setup was KYB AGX shocks and tein/eibach springs.
