Well after over a month of being stangless, I'm back!

Here are a few specs

98+ front spindles w/ 2000 Cobra R front brakes
Braided stainless lines all throughout
MM CC plates - black

Agent47 Brake duct kit
MM Bilstein coilovers, all around
99GT stick axle (3" wider than stock) w/ powdercoated 95 Cobra rear brakes, rear girdle and 3.55 axle ratio
FRPP 95 Cobra R wheels with Hoosier R6 tires
Fully rebuilt Tremec T5Z tranny with Astro short 5th gear (plenty of pull on Thill's front straight) and Hurst shifter

Motor:
Stock 302, approx 160k~
FRPP 24lb injectors
B cam
1.7 Crane Cobra rockers, new lifters and pushrods
7 qt. Milodon T-pan with blueprinted pump and hardened D/S

Thanks everybody. It took me a while to get over the sudden loss of a car I built from the ground up, but I'm ready to do some wrenching again.

Ian I'm not sure if we are going to make it. We have some work to do before we hit the track.
