- 3.55 Rear Gear Ratio
- Power Steering & Power Brakes
- 3 Link Rear Suspension with coilovers
- Original Halibrand Style Rims
- Vintage Gauge set with Reverse Speedometer
- Dark grey body with light grey stripes
- Dual Chrome Driver and Passenger Rollbars

Fuel Tank, Inventory, etc.

We pretty much are on hold with the build until some of the backordered parts arrive. We are waiting on some of the rear suspension parts so we were unable to install the rear into the frame. We also couldn’t continue on the front of the car due to us needing a different brake booster and master cylinder. It ends up since we are going with Power brakes that we need a Hydroboost brake booster and Master Cylinder from a 96+ mustang. So we are going to have to track one of those down. We did get some prep stuff done though. We worked on making the needed modifications to the donor pedal box. We had time to also finish inventorying the boxes and straightening back up the garage. The Camaro can now go back in the garage. I was surprised how much room I have with both cars in there. I still have plenty of room to work on the Cobra without having to pull out the Camaro. We also got the fuel tank painted and ready to install.

Dad did a great job on cleaning and painting the donor fuel tank.
