Build Pictures / HM2017 Build

« on: February 04, 2022, 01:26:12 PM »

I decided it’s time to stop procrastinating and start a build log for HM2017.  I have learned so much from this forum during my build and I want to document some of my build in the hope it might help someone else.

I bought HM2017 from the original owner, who lived near me in the northern California bay area, in March of 2021.  I saw it advertised on this forum.  He bought the kit in 2016 as a father-son project.  After receiving the kit in 2017 and starting work on it, it turned out his son wasn’t interested in the build.  The kit then sat until he decided to sell it in 2020.

Before I brought the car home, I made a body buck to store the body.  This was much needed due to my limited garage space.  The cobra must share the garage with my 1932 Ford.  I found the body buck design on this forum.  It’s working great.

After getting the car home I ordered a 408 ci small block Ford engine from Craft Performance Engines and one of the new Tremec TKX transmissions with the 0.71 OD.  Almost a year later and I’m still waiting for both with no delivery in sight.  Supply chain issues.

That’s enough for my first post.  I’ll start posting about what I’ve been doing on the car during the last year.  Now I need to get back to work on my car.
