I have just ordered a Cobra MK 4 complete kit and a 5.0 engine/transmission package. Hope to have it about March 1st and am very excited to start on it. While visiting one of the threads I saw the plans for building a cradle to set the frame on while working on the car but now I can not find the post so could someone help me find it? I live in the Orlando area.

I got my plans for the frame cradle from a builder on this forum named chrisarella. I'm not that computer literate so can't tell you how to locate his thread, good luck.

Welcome Aboard & Your In Great Luck Being In Orlando!
Henry (65 Cobra Dude) is only an hour or two away.
He knows these cars like the back of his hand and has built every Factory Five model.
If you get stuck you've got expert help only a short drive away or you can even have him build the sucker for you.
The video below is Henry's old car that had all sorts of cool stuff in including HVAC, under car exhaust, power steering and brakes.
