Looking very nice and the Mule looks great also...

Wow, George the car looks great! and also congrats for the Mule being #2 qualifier at Norwalk. You two guys are awesome. Can't wait to see this one done!

Latest updates between racing at Norwalk and yesterdays S/SS combo at Milan.

K-member ready to bolt up.

K-member bolted into body. Clutch linkage also bolted in place. Brad Zaskowski built 5 sets of clutch linkage for the stick shift CobraJets we have assembled. Good design and nice workmanship.

Upper 3 link bar and mounting bracket bolted into body.

Rear firewall mocked up with Clecos.

Rear firewall rivited in.

Looks great.

More progress on the CJ.

Clutch, brake and gas pedals bolted in. The drive by wire gas pedal was replaced with a fox body gas pedal since I will be using a BigStuff ECU.

Master cylinder installed.

Aeromotive fuel cell installed. Dash 8 hoses being cut and assembled.

Rear brakes assembled.

Moched up with wheels and tires.

Fuel lines installed on the body.

Very nice build good luck.

Getting closer. Lots of little details to finish up. Here some more pictures.

Fitting the BigStuff EFI harness to the engine.

Dashboard bolted in and tach mounted.

9 inch wide Hoosier tires mounted on CobraJet wheels.

I modified the Moroso inline radiator cap so I could pickup up temperature for the BigStuff ECU and the electric water temp gauge. The Coyote cylinder heads don't really have any threaded holes or even any good places to drill and tap a threaded hole to mount a temperature sensor.

I bent and fit two panels to cover and flatten out the back seat area to make it easier to lay a piece of carpet back there.

American Racing Headers moched up on engine. The Lakewood bellhousing is only temporary. I will be using a Browell bellhousing.

Engine set in car for moch up purposes. I will most likely come back out in a few days after I fit the fuel lines from the rails to the regulator and a few other items.

Engine moched up in car.

Engine and drivers side header moched up in car.
