just my .02 have you ever gave the thought of using 03/04 mach 1 interior pieces such as the gagues with the black face and old style letters and the comfort weave bucket seat with the silver insert. IMO that would tie in the whole retro to new age style! :poke:

it would be a huge hassle to use the gauges from the mach due to the fact of the way ford has their system set up with pats and all that....u would have to reprogram the pcm to think that the cluster is an 03 or 04 cobra cluster...not sure if its possible

The other photos look washed out - someone play with them, on photoshop, they're on the www.sn65.com website

Yeah, why can you run the '03 wheels to move it around, yet you say they don't work? I'm sure that if Jay Leno can have a set of 19s made to look like original 15 inch hubcaps from a 1956 Buick that you can have Cobra wheels done.

Hi T-Bolt,

Yes the Cobra wheels fit, but the first bump we hit and the fender flares are toast. Also, the front wheel hits the frame rail when turning from lock to lock.

We can have custom 03 Cobra wheels made, but that is going to take us about 4 to 6 weeks. We are going to do that, but we need to work out the details, etc.

It wasn't explained why a Dodge is pulling that beautiful Stang around so I'll explain... because he can! Cool? Good.


That's a masterpiece SN65. Looks great. What are the future plans of the car/ if any, besides the custom made Cobra wheels?

Hi R,

After we get it on a dyno, check things out, get a baseline, etc... We are going to up the power to about 550 RWH. That should get me to work on time. :)

Also, we just have a few minor isses to resolve.

After that we are going to show it and drive the he!! out of it.

I could tell you a very easy way around the PATS, that requires no programming.

Hi All,

Still working on the website, but.....

I don't know if you are interested or not, but there are a few new additions to the video section. In one of them, you can see Wayne put the car gingerly through its paces. Just remember, he only had about 60 feet to work with and he was taking it easy. He made this video while I was out to lunch. That is the last time I leave him alone with the keys. :)
