Build Pics

The EFI is installed. It looks great and allowed me to keep the vintage look air cleaner, but with the performance and reliabilty of a electronic fuel injected set-up.

Here is a shot during the build of the front suspension and brakes of the Factory Five Mark II Roadster #4206. Everything is clean and brand new. You can also see the 4 into 4 headers as well.

Here's all the body parts and panels pulled together for a final shot before they are added to the car. I can't wait to see her fully dressed.

I had heard stories about the prep work needed to properly prepare a Factory Five Roadster for paint. I understand that it wasn't all that painful and I am very happy with the finished product.

After much searching my wife Arlene and I finally decided on Indy Blue Metalic Pearlessence for FFR #4206. It was a difficult decision and we are happy with the finished look.

A nice shot of the detail that Peter Jacobsen put into the installation of the fuel injected 302 small block crate engine from Calgary based Western Motorsport.

I particularily love the look of the Cobra air filter and valve cover.

The Factory Five Racing Mark II Roadster has a set of Khumo Ecsta Supra 712 performance tires (17x8 & 17x9.5) on a polished set of Team 3 wheels.

The go cart stage of the build is complete. Everything is looking great. It's an exciting stage to be at in the process of building a Cobra replica. The Factory Five Racing kit is impressive.
