427 Cobra - Seat, Shifter, Parking Brake, Test Drive

[@Metalcop5150]

That thing sounds amazing!! When you took off, for the first time, it reminds me of sitting on the starting line at the drag strip... side pipes for the win!!

[@PetesGarage]

I'm about ready for a first drive all assembled

[@Sloppyjalopy123]

Man that thing sounds mean Pete! You really should be proud, it's been inspiring to watch. Motivates me to take my mechanical ventures to the next level. Thanks.

[@PetesGarage]

That's awesome...thanks Shaun

[@callumtbjones]

So awesome to see it progressing after all these years

[@PetesGarage]

It seems like forever....I have new motivation

[@HeimoVN]

Congrats on the first drive, really nice to see the project moving along...

[@PetesGarage]

Moving as fast as I can without cutting corners

[@mickwrinkles2318]

Hehe, that was so great. Proper sound, proper car, proper farbricator/builder.

[@PetesGarage]

[@FlyingShotsman]

Congrats, Pete!

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks my friend

[@ziggassedup]

Good stuff Pete.

[@InvincibleExtremes]

it's coming along! yeah, having a headrest is nice for safety but fitting those seats into your cobra, or vw beetles or my 240z is always a pain...

[@PetesGarage]

Yeah....I'll go with the Roadster seat

[@welchsteven]

Love it!

[@davebarbolla4902]

Pete your knowledge of engine rebuilding and repair is extensive and appreciated, do you have any videos of rebuilding 4.3 Chevy Vortex motors and if so what are the recommended values

[@PetesGarage]

I have done them, but never made videos because I didn't think there would be interest. I will next time.

[@TylerGotAYTAccount]

The takeoff made me smile. I'm addicted to automobiles 😂

[@PetesGarage]

It is one fast car

[@cheftush]

Very Cool Pete!

[@PetesGarage]

It's getting there

[@supreme2544]

Hey Pete can you make a video for someone that's looking at getting a motor running and isn't sure how far to rebuild it? It's been sitting for awhile, motor is all together except for the fuel pump on the tank needs to be re done. Last time it ran it would pop threw the carb and not start then some messed with the fuel pump/tank. 89 motor also, I guess what I'm trying to say is what kinda things would you look for on the motor to see how far to take it. Thanks Pete love the channel 👍🏻

[@PetesGarage]

That would be a really long video, but your problem sounds like a timing problem. The chain either stretched or the sprocket jumped.

[@supreme2544]

Petes Garage I was just curious of things you would look over before actually starting the motor? Compression test, top end things or bottom end thing. Thanks Pete

[@curtdilks7178]

Hi iam building a street beast what you do rad an lower hose . having trouble getting body to go cab floor fire wall

[@PetesGarage]

I'm not sure what you mean

[@josephtaruma990]

Like this guy

[@PetesGarage]

Like you right back my friend

[@Rumeel12708]

Wooooooooo thats what up Pete glad to see it running!!! Are you going to paint the chassy?

[@PetesGarage]

Yes, I'll spray it epoxy....maybe gloss black

[@baddriversofnorthtexas6850]

Do you have to get custom kit car registration or something for that thing in order to drive it?

[@PetesGarage]

Yes, and the process in New York is a major pain

[@marshakennedy3467]

Hello Pete, what radiator did you use? Would it cool a 429?

[@PetesGarage]

I bought it from Summit, sorry I don't have the P/N. They have a great selection tool. It sure would cool a 429

[@McNabbula]

Brother you have some serious skills. All self taught?

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks my friend....30 years of practice

[@McNabbula]

Pete's Garage is that your vocation?

[@PetesGarage]

It was for the a few years after high school. I continued on my own for specific customers. Now I do it by appointment only

[@FordMustang1969Restomod]

Sounds great!! About the E brake go with an electric one so you don’t have to bother about space

[@PetesGarage]

The E brake is a good idea, but it's pricey and not too original looking. I like the idea.

[@carolinamanjr1385]

That is a quick car.

[@PetesGarage]

Pretty scary to drive

[@matiasaloha]

genius

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks my friend

[@matiasaloha]

@@PetesGarage Without your videos, it would be impossible to do my project, it's great to explain thanks! pete

[@johnd5805]

Pete's going to need stock in Michelin.

[@PetesGarage]

Yeah...it's gonna get expensive

[@Metalcop5150]

Hi Pete - I just picked up a Street Beasts roller kit (made in 2006). Your videos are quickly becoming my 'bible' for my build. Do you have any updates, or any new Cobra videos on the way? Btw, I am also a guitar player, for the last 35 years!! Please check out my channel, I think you will enjoy it!! I'm certain that I will be contacting you soon... lol Thanks for everything.

[@PetesGarage]

Hello my friend, I have a whole series building the Cobra. The past one will be putting on the trunk lid, then body and paint. I'm going to disassemble the whole thing to paint it, then put it all back together.

[@Metalcop5150]

​@@PetesGarage Yes I have watched all your Cobra videos, and am now watching them for a 2nd time!! Just a quick note, when you go to your Cobra playlist, and click 'play all' the videos play in reverse order, from newest to oldest. You can easily swap out the order, in your YT Studio. It will definitely help to get you more views and subs!! lol Please keep the Cobra vids coming, they are invaluable to me.

[@PetesGarage]

Corrected the list...thank you

[@name9287]

: )

[@Travelingman-1980]

The videos are getting shorter and shorter. Your previous videos were more instructional and detailed in content.

[@PetesGarage]

I'll hit more of the educational points in videos coming up
