I'm thinking that the King Corba you found is a Mustang II, a King Cobra and a Cordoba are not the same. Your Mustang II is the same Pinto/Mustang that has been used for years

Good Day today! Got the Frame out of storage, hauled back home and Cab fastened back down. Had to do some backyard engineering to get it back on by myself. Engine and Tranny are next!

You guys that one-man a cab are a lot more ambitious than I am, I had 4 guys on the cab plus my grandson underneath guiding the mounting bolts and arms. Kudos to all of you

Nice work,is that a base/clear coat you are applying. I'm hoping to have my panel painted before this year is up and was thinking of doing the inside myself and have someone else have the pleasure of doing the outside.

Yes - Martin Senour Complete Primer and BaseCoat/ClearCoat on top. Using the TEC Base and TC731 Clear. Very nice product.

That's about where I'm at on my project. My motor is out of an 87 T-bird. I just put the motor in yesterday and I'm still fighting the tranny mount. I'm using the T-bird mount, but it has the tail-shaft up too high. I'm either going to have to find a shorter mount or drop the cross-member. What is your tranny mount off of?
