03 Cobra 25.3 chassis build (pic heavy)

[BADASS03SVT]

Just wanted to share some pics of my build this year. Wanted to do it once and do it right. This makes the car legal to the 6.50 ET range in the 1/4 mile. I don't post here much but I bought the car new in November 2003 and have a TON of threads and posts on here. If you have IG give me a follow @ The_Gingernator for more updates and racing.

It all started with gutting the car at home (omg that poor cobra! lol)

Then loaded it up into the trailer and off to the shop

Welding begins

 

[BADASS03SVT]

Got the mini tubs in place

Coming along

 

[BADASS03SVT]

Decided to finally ditch the 8.8 and 33 spline axles. This year's upgrades have been about safety. I'll feel a lot better going 180mph with all this stuff now.

more welding and bars

Lol I was going to ask about the 8.8 when I saw the first pic in the trailer.

You answered that one.

Cool build.

yea its been fine. same 33 spline axles and spool have been in it since 2009. Pulled them out before selling it and they looked perfect. Just don't want to take a chance of cracking / breaking an axle as it goes quicker.

I was wondering where you've been hiding. That car sure has come a loooooong way. Can't wait to see the finished product. Must've been really hard to butcher that poor thing though lol

Can't wait to see some passes.

Woah jake. I’ve loved your car since you were on the Posi ported eaton and spray. Now this is bad ass. Definitely keep us updated.

I guess you could call it a natural progression, haha!
Looks Good.
