[QUOTE="HandsomeRob, post: 11907255, member: 89647"] Hey Dudes!! This is my first build ever. For those of you that already know me, I am very particular and have a horrible sickness called OCD. I'm very particular and try not to cut corners. It makes my life pretty miserable but my projects turn out pretty damn legit. lol I am a perfectionist and i'm pretty anal about cleanliness. Kind of excited to see the outcome. :D I will give you a little history on my car before I unload all the pictures. I am the second owner of a beautiful 1997 Cobra. I purchased the car 2.5 years ago with 37K original miles and now the car has 41K. The car is flawless and has been garaged for most of the 12 years. I now keep it in my buddies Hangar along with our other toys at a local airport and work on it every weekend. The reason why I started this project in the first place was becuase of a leaky oil pan & I was pushing my stock bottom end to its limits at 480RWHP.
