Re: HG's Dream Car Build - Shelby Cobra Kit

Got the driveshaft, $465 total for a 10" long shaft. Yikes

I installed it today then tried getting the exhaust started. That didn't go well at all. I think I have the wrong headers. The ones that I got with the kit bolt to the engine alright but the J pipe that goes between the headers and side pipes hit the frame rail.

I couldn't put in the driver side at all. I'll have to remove the alternator and maybe even lift the engine. So back to the manuals to see if I did something wrong, no good came from that. So I check the forums for similar builds and it looks like I should have a completely different style of headers. Should be a long tube style that goes all the way to the side pipes. I emailed factory five to try and get this resolved.

I'll work on other things like the gas pedal, clutch cable, wiring, etc. Although I haven't had as much free time lately. Started my new job a couple weeks ago. The new territory is at least a few weeks behind and it's going to be a challenge to get it caught up.
