Cobra II project kart.

Well my original thread was lost and not really in the correct section So I'll repost here in the right place.

This is the body and original frame I bought.

I bought this off a good friend about a year ago and finally got off my butt to work on it. It's for my daughter eventually. It was originally a one wheel drive but the frame was kind of crap and not up to what I wanted it to be. So my friend and I decided to build a new frame from scratch for the body. I have a 6.5 clone for it and plan to do some modifications to it as time and $ permit but for now its quick enough. We even used a Mustang II e-brake handle to make a parking brake for the car.

The body is a Mustang II Cobra II body and it will eventually be painted to match my car.

That hasnt got much to do with anything? A monaro would leave an escort cossie round a track?

Plus, it doesn't look anywhere near as cool as a properly sorted mustang lol!

Nice project btw keep us updated

To answer your extremely off topic questions:
1) Gas is between $3.00-$3.25 in my area.
2) Many people would LOVE to have a Cobra that nice over here
3) Smoked! (It will start to automatically download...and that's a OLD Cobra)
4) That thing is very nice and you have no idea what's under the hood. It may run circles around your Cosworth Escort.

Thanks for the good words guys. I had to build a new muffler as the body was hitting the original. It didn't turn out too bad for a couple of pieces of conduit and a piece of 2" exhaust pipe.

Need Quicktime to view.

? on your muffler ,did you make a inner closed off pipe with lots of holes in it ? what about any packing on the inside of it ? stillseems a little bit loud to me for the actual size if it ,am asking cause I will need to make 2 mufflers myself for my project .

The head pipe has the end inside capped off. and a bunch of holes drilled in it. Also the ends of the two small pipes are drilled with a few holes as well. No packing at all inside of it probably if you added another kind of baffle inside it would help a bit. It's not as load as you think, and it has a much deeper tone than the stock muffler had.
