So basically you rueined one of the last collectable cars made. Pretty stupid if you ask me, but then again the hood you chose does reflect your style. It's your car do what you want but that has to be up there with about one of the stupidest things to do. Didnt Wyotech teach you not to mutilate classic or collectable cars?

Posted by 1993lx50 (Member # 10246) on :

Good skills post pics of the notch

No jealousy over here. Trust that. I am just saying the car he chose to do this on actually hurt the value rather then increase it. It looks like he did a good job not knocking that just the choice of car. Like I said its his car do what you want.

LOOOOOLLL

Implying a '93 cobra is super collectable in the first place. And that it's one of the last collectable cars made? Pppftttt

And to the rest of your post, nothing but negative criticism and jealousy. Calm down on the haterade bud. Give props when it's well deserved.

Posted by 93 blown Cobra (Member # 9682) on :

I did it because I can after I finished I sold the car and it sold for more then it would when I was trying to sell it when it was original now days everyone customize there cars I see original cobras for sale all the time and they go for cheap and no where fast. Oh yeah wyotech showed me how to use my mine and my skills and fuck the haters who can't do nothing but hate. For everyone else thanks for the feedback

How am I jealous ? Explain that to me? Wait is it because I don't agree or like the o.p decision on what he did. I'm sorry if I have an opinion other then yours or anyone else's. A 1993 Cobra is a collectable car they don't seem to be making a lot of limited production collectable cars nowadays. I thought CAFords was full of intellects so I am sure you guys know the difference between an opinion and critisim.

Posted by Robb (Member # 9444) on :

93 cobras are dime a dozen. If this was an R then yeah, it wouldve been stupid to do.

Nice great job I've been wanting to do the same with my notch. I have all the parts and weather stripping but im still hesitated to do so.

I am not hating. Just have a different opinion then you. I am not saying the job was poor just in my own opinion the choice of vehicle was. You posted it on a public forum so you should have been prepared for all types of feedback. Trust me I can do a lot more then "hate".

Posted by 93coupessp (Member # 8418) on :

Haha in my opinion 93 cobras are another inflated mustang. I see them for sale all the time. You do not see them breaking records at auto auctions shit you don't even see em at auto auctions. I agree with op/builder that he increased the value of the car. If I was in the market for a 93 cobra I would actually consider this ttop over a stock one just for the it factor I think it's sick. It stands out.

The whole demeanor of that comment was just negative as hell and your still wondering why you come off as a hater? Hahaha like the whole your hood reflects your style, I'm not a fan of the good either but dude he did a really clean job on the t-top so why hate on his hood fuck it

For a website that claims to be highly intelligent there is an abundant amount of idiots on here. I am not "hating" on his hood or his TTop job but that fact that he made these chioces on what most (apparently not cafords) consider a rare collectable car that's all. anything else I can translate for the upper class here?

Posted by 93coupessp (Member # 8418) on :

Sarcasm. I'm just saying.

Posted by 93coupessp (Member # 8418) on :

Here's what it boils down to.

1. It was op's car his choice
2. I'm sure he knew it would make some people upset
3. He did an exceptional job
4. I wouldn't do it to a cobra
5. It's still cool
6. This is not much different than someone that takes a cobra turns it into a drag car scca car or just mistreats it or wrecks it like an idiot. Atleast there's that one more cobra out there representin

I'm sorry and I apologize if my comment upset you enough to call me an idiot, is that better you big fucking baby? Hahahaha come on dude don't get mad I'm just saying it was kind of shitty of you to come on here and in so many words call this guy stupid for making HIS car a t-top like stated above no different then turning it into a drag car

This sight is like The Twilight Zone.
I'm not jealous or hating. Its just the choice of car for the work. The work looks great, paint came ot nice and the engine bay is sick. My post is simply my opinion. Far from jealousy. I would have just picked a different car. As far as the idiot comment it was meant for all the people who jumped to conclusions that I was "hating or jealous". Thats that. [patriot]

Not sure how I missed this but my god this person should demand a refund from wyotech. They stole his money.

Now don't take this the wrong way but most of the following is for the safety and knowledge of those on this forum to prevent them from making some mistakes.

Nobody chops a top without bracing. Compressor right next to the gas water heater? And then spraying in there the way it looked with a nice cloud of paint(isocyanates can kill you-they can be absorbed thru any membrane). Nevermind the fact the oil compressor is pumping away a mist of oil every compression stroke(contaminates a potentionally good paint job) . Please tell me you at least shut off the water heater.(solvent based paint is highly flammable)

Yes I noticed he didn't use bracing but hey I guess it didn't collapse on him if it all worked at the end. I know personally I'd put braces because I've seen people chop tops on their cars and have seen a few projects scrapped because of it collapsing itself. Now about all the other stuff you're talking about I wouldn't really know about it besides having good airflow and not breathing that stuff in.

Yeah, their are couple coupes on ca face edition who did the same conversion without using a brace. They just simply cut the a pillar and rivited the t top brace is what I see not even a tack weld was put on. So you if get in a front end crash what would happen will it hold up or not Idk? I would of weld the sucker in and put a roll bar.

CAFords Facebook edition. LOL I see the most hacked up shit on there I don't even bother looking at peoples rides they're ALL buckets with so many damn issues. Then you see retards wishing they had the money to buy a coupe with half the interior missing gets swung on the weekly but has decent paint/wheels going for $6,500 obo talking about fully built with GT40 heads and a e-cam.
