RedTwilight Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Once again welcome to the site! What are your plans for the interior? Replace old nasty torn zombie bits with new fresh and clean clean pieces in the same color, change to black interior, or something completely different?

KidK9 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah I'll be swapping out to a completely black interior and black convertible top. I hate this saddle crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted October 26, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah I'll be swapping out to a completely black interior and black convertible top. I hate this saddle crap. How do the interior quarter panels look? I've got a saddle interior that may or may not need parts; I haven't looked at the interior in years lol.

KidK9 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. The s281 is a Kaenen I got from American Muscle. I hate American Muscle. Last time I ever send them a dollar. Drivetrain is going to be a 363 Ford Stroker engine with a Vortech blower. I'm shooting for 750-800 hp. My other Cobra pushes 507 out of a blown 333. So I would like to go above that. Likely going to put a 6 speed in it and built rear end. Put some used Corbeau seats in that I grabbed from MPS. These will be completely reupholstered.

KidK9 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Did I miss where you said what pedals those are?!?!?I'm liking where this build is going real fast!!!!!!!This message courtesy of crapatalk! I got them from performancepedals.com. They are made to order so be ready to wait 6 weeks for them. They also don't provide enough screws and the ones they do provide are very soft. So prepare to go get your own. But hell, they look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTwilight Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Full Maximum Motorsports suspension with coilovers in the front and weight jackers in the rear. Are you using the tubular A-arms or factory style? I've got a pair of '04 control arms that I plan to use, but have been thinking about tubular arms when I do the K member. I guess I'll have to decide on going with coil overs soon or waiting until later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
