“2KOOOL”

Her name says is all; “2KOOOL” which is exactly how we feel about each and every one of these gals that we see.

These gals are far more than the sum total of their parts but rather a dream that became an supercar reflective of days gone past placed smack dab in the middle of an arena full of other supercars. These gals are not only unique but also a masterpiece to look at and a dream realized for all when they get behind the wheel and exercise them. These gals are likely the closest thing one can come to a full blown race car with a legal license plate on their tail that feels just as at home going on an ice cream run or at speed on the back straightaway of one of the extreme road courses around the world. These are truly the “real deal”.

So to us these gals will forever be referred to as “2KOOOL” with one of the most significant reasons being that Ford was gracious enough to build a hand full of them; this alone is truly “2KOOOL”

This particular gal came to us after having some very nice personal tweak items already tended to such as the huge polished Whipple supercharger, Ford Racing headers, and a Borla muffler.

During her stay with us we have be given the opportunity to massage her a bit more; we will be integrating the wonderful Penske remote reservoir suspension system with custom powder coated springs, Heffner's cat back exhaust with a pair of custom Shadowman baffles integrated so as to take the edge off her vocal bite, new and more aggressive brake pads, a stem to stern service which will include a fresh load of fluids, her nose will be wrapped in plastic, and a new shoe will be installed once a minor chip is taken care of on one of her feet.


We have been massaging this gal during the week and one of the issues noticed once we removed her damaged under body panel was a significant amount of oil. The under body panels were damaged as the direct result of another facility improperly lifting her; sadly we have seen this many times. Now as for the oil leak; it turned out to be as the result of a cut o-ring on the speed sensor; likely when it was removed it to add transaxle fluids during the installation of the transaxle cooler and then when they noticed it was damaged they used silicon or ? in an attempt to fix the problem.
Here is the speed sensor prior to us removing it; you can see the oil and the paltry attempt to seal it. All of this for a very inexpensive item.
This gal has Ford Racing long tube headers that by design are very close to the starter solenoid as such we make it a practice to install a Mylar heat shield on all that we install as well as those that come through the facility for service

Here is the Penske suspension system being made ready to integrate into the gal. In this case the gal's owner had the springs powder coated so as to tie in with her exterior color
Here the OEM rear bumper has been removed as we begin the process of integrating the CDC bumper delete system. With this system we will be removing the OEM rear bumper extensions and replacing them with custom rear frame extensions designed for the bumper delete system
Here we are methodically working through rear bumper delete conversion process during which time we use liberal amounts of protective tape, paper, and blankets so as to insure that no secondary damage is caused.



Here the rear bumper delete conversion has been completed however we still need to integrate the yet to be painted filler panel and the custom aluminum lower mesh panel. We also fit the thermal coated Heffner cat back exhaust in place so as to confirm the fit as a component of the system. This particular exhaust was designed specifically for the bumper delete gals. Next we will be fabricating a set of baffles that will be inserted prior to the final installation of the Heffner exhaust so as to take the edge aka bite off the exhaust so that whether on the street or the track the music created will be enjoyed.


During our time with this gal we are completing a stem to stern checkup which includes looking for pending issues, checking hardware; both that it is there and properly secured, and also previous repair work to verify that everything is as it should be.
While looking around the gal this heat shield caught our attention. It is from the underside of the right aka passenger half-shaft. Now we do not know the history but it would appear that either the half shaft came lose at one time or during a previous half-shaft hardware recall repair that the half-shaft was wedge against it during the process. Regardless it needed to be corrected because of how it looked as well as the fact that it was resting on the Ford racing long tube headers.

Here is the heat shield after we completed the repair process; a combination of hand work and a roller has it good as new.



Here we are fabricating and inserting a pair of custom baffles into the Heffner cat back exhaust. This gal is a total free breather as such the baffles were decided upon so as to take a bit of her bit out of her bark.




Here the CDC bumper delete system is being integrated for the final time. After several dry fits and then having completed the paint work it is time.


Here the CDC bumper delete system along with the Heffner cat back exhaust have been fully integrated



Here she is receiving a new oil filter and new oil as she is being made ready for her participation at the Ford GT Rally in Las Vegas


Here her at risk body panels are being methodically wrapped in clear plastic. In this case we elected to completely wrap her nose including the entire front fenders, the greater portion of the roof, in front of and behind the rear wheels, the entire rocker panels, the mirrors, and the leading edge on the side air scoops.




Now we are going to integrate the Penske suspension system which is the final piece of this project. During this process we will also be detailing engine bay so that once completed she be as crisp as the day she was born.
Here we are painting the rear shock uprights prior to integrating the Penske suspension

Here the rear Penske suspension system has been integrated along with the cool Stillen remote reservoir mounts


Here the front of the gal is being made ready to have the Penske suspension system integrated

Here the front Penske suspension system has been fully integrated. In this case we secured the remote reservoirs to the cowl with heavy duty Velcro. This process insures that the canisters will remain in place and yet remain serviceable if needed.


Once this project was completed and she was made ready to be exercised instead of shipping her back home her owner elected to drive several hours so that he could in fact exercise her a bit. Upon his arrival there was little doubt that he was happy and that she was ready to go play and then once she was brought to life you could feel his smile and sense the excitement build as it was time to begin her exercise routine.
