Texas Spring Meet..... Here We Come!
We head out on Easter Sunday to travel East towards Texas. Taking a leisurely 4 days to get there, we travel many of the back roads and highways. This gave us a chance to see parts of the States we had never been through before. Mrs. i.e.427 and myself really enjoyed the time in the truck, despite all of the rain we endured the first 3 days. We wrap up this video in San Marcos, TX. strolling the lot where all of the Cobras from around the Country came together.

Side Mount Garage Door Opener & High lift
On our last trip to Texas, we picked up a door opener for our shop door. We mount this a bit different than the conventional opener. It's relatively inexpensive vs the standard side mount opener and for our purposes, works just as we need it to.

Factory 5 Type 65 Coupe Fuel Pump & Hanger
This time around we start work on the Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe. The fuel system is up first and we get the fuel pump and hanger installed after removing the hanger supplied with the kit. We also take a brand-new roll of 3/8" Stainless tubing, cut it to length and send it through our tubing straightener to get it ready to install into the chassis.

Our Ford F350 Powerstroke Dually Gets an Upgrade
After our most recent trip to Texas. Mrs. i.e.427 and myself decided that the current headlight situation for the F350 Dually was lacking. So with little nudging from her, I purchased a set of retrofit LED headlight bulbs for the truck. Follow along as we get the new bulbs installed into the truck and test them out.

The "King" Cobra
The King family brought us their project to finish up for them. We start by pulling the body, doors, trunk deck and hood off of the car and give a rundown of where this
project is and where it's headed. This should be a fun build!

i.e.427 Turn Signal Switch
We introduce you all to our brand-new turn signal switch and run through all the parts and it's functionality. This turn signal system took us nearly 5 months to bring forward and after a number of beta testers we went into preproduction to get 8 more units out into the Factory Five community. We've had a ton of positive feedback and hope to keep up with the demand that we've had since the product was introduced. Thank you to all have supported us with this product.

Factory Five Mk4 Prototype Cleanup & Detail
When is it no longer the prototype? Well, that's the name of this one. If you've watched this one from the beginning you'll know how it got it's name. And names are always capitalized. So "The Prototype" is always going to be a prototype. This time around we blow off all the dust and start the detail process for this car. It really turned out beautiful!

Final Details for Our Factory Five Cobra
This week we dive back into the wiper system to trouble shoot what went wrong and why our wipers won't park. Then, on to the wheels and installing the center caps after we tidy up everything inside the fender wells. We finish things off under the car, nut and bolting everything we can, one last time before this thing hits the road.
Here is a link to the fix for the contact switch on the motor housing: https://www.ffcars.com/threads/ffr-lucas-windshield-wiper-motor-self-park-issue-solved.418306/
