Re: FS/H CobraJet Body In White Project
I spent the last few weeks redoing a rotisserie so I can finish up work on the underside of the CobraJet body.
   Now I can begin work on bracing the lower control arm mounts.

Re: FS/H CobraJet Body In White Project
The lower control arm mount on a mustang body is located at the bottom of the uni-body subframe rail. There is no support for it when it the car launches and the lower control arm pushes forward on it.
 Here is the lower control arm support / frame connector that I fabricated for the CobraJet.  Here is the driver side lower control arm support installed on the body, ready to weld.  A close up of how the enclosure fits over the lower control arm mount.

Re: FS/H CobraJet Body In White Project
 Underside of the body shows both lower control arm supports installed.  Tunnel brace welded in place. The brace is formed to allow extra clearance to clear the Long shifter on the Jerico 4 speed.  From this view you can see how the brace steps out to allow clearance for the shifter linkage. The original piece of the tunnel has yet to be cut out with a cutoff wheel.  hile upside down, this allows me to weld some other hard to reach areas on the cage.  The 5.0 liter Coyote block prepped and ready for moch up.  5.0 liter Coyote crank was balanced since the original factory rods are being replaced with Manley rods.
