- Time to get started on the exterior of this thing and man what a difference a little elbow grease and some new parts makes! The cobra gets some refinished OEM parts as well as some new headlights and a HUGE aftermarket heat exchanger! Can't wait to see this thing all cleaned up!
Send me stuff!

You’re one of the very few automotive TH-camrs that I would trust buying a car from. Excellent work and attention to detail as usual, keep it up man! Can’t get enough of your content
I'm already to the point that I would be honored to buy a car from him.😅
yeah this dude doesn't cut corners and he has pretty good taste too
Yeah I love the long form content. I watch them while doing chores around the house so the wife doesn't kill me.
I’ve purchased a car from him. Guy is real deal. 🐍
So true! If he ever does a C6 grandsport auto I would definitely throw him an offer.
Most underrated car channel on TH-cam, easily should have 1M subs!
if he keeps at it he will get there or pretty close , problem is there are just soooooo many automotive youtubers out there and many many good ones ... the market is flooded and its hard to be unique and set yourself apart but he makes good no nonsense content. i'm surprised he hasn't started selling merch yet ... i think the problem is he works a real job and the only way to do merch correctly is to get it made and sell/package/distribute it yourself and that takes a lot of time
Not even snow can stop a Chris Sullivan upload! A great day indeed! 😁
🤝
Chris, some kind of wire mesh to cover that hole infront of the new inter cooler maybe ?

I am always looking forward these videos.
Glad to hear it!
I looked up the phrase "rode hard and put away wet" and there was a picture of this car as the definition...lol. You're doing the Lord's work saving this Cobra, my friend. Respect.
She was in sad shape when I got her
It describes my C5 ex track car when I got it too, lol. I need some Chris on my car!
For only 100,000 miles, that thing was roached before you got it. Good job bringing it back!
More professional than most "Professionals" keep up the great work!
Appreciate it my man
I'm a simple guy. My favorite Cartuber uploads a video, I watch. 💯
On the road to 100k subs. Lets go!
📈
Nice! I prefer a pony in the grille 🐎 Have a great weekend Chris!
Thanks! You too!
This is the closest thing I’ve ever had to dream car. You’re doing great work saving this beauty. Love the content and keep up the great work.
Gosh. I am so jealous. I love this car so much. Kind of brings a tear to my eye. I'm 25 I had a 2003 mustang gt in high school that I got for 1500 bucks. It had a custom hot wheels paint job. My goal is to get a 03 cobra. I was in a wreck with my gt In high school. I love these videos. Brings back memories.
hey chris, just a quick tip, for those slow motion b roll. you can record at higher frame rate so it looks smoother when you slow it down in edit. keep up the awesome work! makes me miss my old 03 cobra, also the tape on the foam pad i think its from factory because mine was the same way when it took off my bumper. and late model restoration has the chin spoiler for like 150
I've used the SEM trim black for years. The other cool thing about it is, you can touch it up later and can't tell that you did. Keep up the good videos, it keeps me motivated!
Been looking forward to this one! Chris, dude you need to keep this one!
Brother I suffer from OCD and a former wrench myself. That being said, I love how much I learned from you all the time without I'm better than he is or having to compete if that makes sense? I'm sure you get what I'm saying you're doing it for the love of the cars and what you do but you're so spot on when you want to do some stuff just to brighten it up a bit, or give that smoke and mirrors look. Totally get it there's a time and place for absolute perfection and there's a time and place for a little bit of enhancement. Your mechanical work is spot-on and you're never cutting corners. Love the fabrication on things and attention to detail. Love your overall knowledge to what you're working on at the moment. Absolutely love the channel absolutely love the content and love your followers too. Everyone seems very in tune with what you bring to the table. Thanks again for the content and love the lessons LOL
Appreciate it my man 🤝
Not even a ford/mustang guy but I can’t stop watching. Keep up the good work
Thanks! Appreciate it
It's those details that separates his builds. He cleans behind the headlights where nobody is going to look. HE knows it's there and wants it mint. That's the correct level of care gentleman
Can't sleep at night if I know it's dirty lol
Looks amazing! Chapter 5 of “Car Rescue” complete. 😊
Love seeing these. Wish I could work on my Terminator at your house. Don’t trust any of the mechanics around me unfortunately.
Now we've got a Saturday! Thanks for another great video Chris. See you next week.
Happy Saturday!
Chris. She looks sexy dude, restoring a car like this is golden. You didn’t just buy replacement parts you restored so much of what was already there and that really gives such appreciation to your self and us viewers! Loving it
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the process
Cobra looking even better now awesome transformation 😮
Been catching your work, for about a year now, always motivated, and inspired Thank You !
I appreciate that!
Incredible work ethic and dedication my man ! Let’s get a nasty, turbo or super charged sleeper truck build in the future 😊
I’m back for this video. Wow, all I can say is what a transformation. It’s really coming together.
Thanks!
Chris your builds are always so damn clean. Exceed the standard as it should be.
Chris coming in clutch with the Saturday upload👌 also just heads up on those headlight assemblies might want to put an extra bead of clear silicone where lens meets the backof the housing. They are prone to getting condensation, they're not sealed very well from the factory. It took a couple sets of those before I figured it out.
That blue is amazing! And that's on a crappy laptop screen. It's gotta be off the hook in person. Well done Chris!
Chris your channel has become one of my favorites to watch! Keep up the good work! Enjoy your content and attention to detail!
Big improvement. It's the small details that make for a good restoration. Nice job!
Thanks!
I see you installing new rotors and painting the calipers that dirty would drive me crazy
All I can say is it looks freaking awesome, Wow what a difference some new parts and refinishing the original
parts as well, all great choices, as I am not a fan of tinted head lights, Awesome job Chris. No drinking game
this time, just drinking.
SEM trim is great stuff. Rustoleum Flat Black Paint n Primer is also great for plastic trim - goes down with a nice spray pattern from the nozzle, and dries very evenly.
Good to know!
I’m always looking forward to your new videos👍 Great work!
Your attention toi detail is just unparalleled. Reminds me a lot of myself. Beautiful work.
Thank you! Cheers!
For tight areas when using threaded rivet inserts, hex adapters that use wrenches, sockets, crows feet can be used instead of the big leverage tool. Amazon and ebay sell them. They work too.
I’m all about restoring the original lip the best you could. No sense in spending $500 on something that will get damaged after a few months of driving anyway. For a show car / museum piece absolutely get the OE lip. Front end looks awesome!
I only get the cheap splitters on my c6 z06 since I seem to break one a year lol
She is coming along very nicely!
I started watching your videos when you did the ctsv awhile back & i truly enjoy everything that you do.
Awesome! Thank you!
I knew you would clean the dirt off the front end when you removed the bumper. I would have done the same too, now time to finish the video. Looking good man
Let’s gooo, come on people let’s run Chris up to 60K subs. 💪🏾
Let's goooo
Awesome job on the heat exchanger
Great job Chris. You might think about putting some screen in front of the inter cooler to save on the rock chips.
man you really counted every rock that hit the heat exchanger now that’s attention to detail nice job chris 👍🏼
Took FOREVER
All the work preformed on the car so far and what I noticed most was that awful looking license plate . You’re gonna have to address that my man . Haha.
Great video! As always. Love the effort and elbow grease that you slam into these
G'day from down under.
Hi Chris,
What a transformation! When you look back to the start of this project and see what you've accomplished, it's nothing short of amazing.
Bravo my friend, keep up the good work.
Cheers mate.
Cheers!
Front end looks brand new! Nice job buddy!
Great transformation. This Terminator is looking great. Cxracing was local to me in southern California
😮💨I’m like you factory headlights and amber bulbs always look better than aftermarket to me that cobra is really turning around keep up the good work I can’t wait to see you clean the paint up next 💪🏾
Very cool to see a new video from you Chris 👍🏻 1,117 rocks 😂 I'm not a fan of blacked out lights either or blacked out wheels. knowing how detailed you are I know that entire car will be amazing 👊🏻 That paint polished out will look sick!! That lower bumper guard is fine. BTW, you need a bigger garage with a few more stalls 😁
You aren't kidding!
Man, from where she came from to where she’s at now. Looking sick!!!
Next Buick Gran national rebuild !!!!
I’m digging that under carriage attachment!
Link in description!
One of the best colors ford came out with!!! Look at those subscribers climbing up !!!
Awesome 😎 work Mr.Sullivan
Man! I love this transformation! The 03-,04 Terminators are my favorite cars!!! I've wanted one since my early 20's! You've done this car right! These cars are still formidable today!! Thank you for restoring this one!,👍👍👍
Good job Chris! The front end looks factory fresh
🤝
Your attention to detail is remarkable. That heat exchanger is dead nuts centered lol. Nice job Chris 👍🏻
Measure twice cut once!
Man I’m loving this series. My first car in high school was a 2004 Sonic Blue Mustang V6- so you’re really building out my dream i had for that car right now! Unfortunately, it didn’t even break 200 HP
This is the best looking clutch job on youtube
man your attetion to detail is great, keep up the good work broski
Please bring this car to Ponies in the Smokies. I would personally love to see it in person.
That is a sweet shade of blue. Love the headlights too
The cooler install came out really clean !! nice work
I literally found your channel this morning and binged this build great content!
🤙🤙
Looks so good in the snow.. What a color.
My favorite cobras were always silver and grey but that blue is so nice looking
Hey Chris, if you’re ever feeling generous you can just give the Cobra to me lol. I’d take great care of it. Man just the wash so far changed the Cobra. Currently watching now. This car has come along way bro!
The pride you take in your work makes all the difference.. This Cobra is killer!!!
Thanks!
Always great to plop down & fire up the TH-cam to see you put out another video. Car just keeps on getting better & better. Great to see that machine getting the love it needs.
Great work as always, Chris. It's so nice to see this car in this condition now, especially after where it was. :)
looks 100 times better. i bought a 2002 cbr954 that had been neglected and painstackingly restored everything right down to the bolts on the front calipers that were rusted. A wire wheel and some clearcoat and they still look like new 12 years later.
Can't wait to see what wheels you put on
Bro you have the best automotive channel on TH-cam. I’m glad I’ll be able to say I was an OG once you finally blow up as you deserve!! Keep making these TH-cam masterpieces!👍
Appreciate you!
Only TH-camr I watch every vid all the way through
Very much appreciated 🤝
Hopefully OEM wheels are in the budget. Those black wheels are not doing that sonic blue paint any justice, plus they’re hideous. Love the progress so far. 🔥🔥
Man cool tip i picked up to make hose clamps look like super clean fasteners- slip a small piece of heat shrink on them, get them installed, and just a dab of heat to clean them up. Looks like a million bucks especially if you hide the worm gear behind whatever you’re hose clamping. I know you love those little details.
That's a great idea!
Loving the heat Xchanger! Awesome work!
Great job, the attention to detail people like you and JustinSvt have motivates me to go that extra mile. You have a gift my friend. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for new rims lol. Look forward to all your new edge content.
I really enjoy your content man. Thanks.
This channel is fresh air so good thanks
I've said it before and I'll say it again, your attention to detail is impeccable sir. She came out looking fabulous
Big fan of blue being from the bluegrass state and the Kentucky wildcat blue but .. I think I favor your Red one that you use to own . Or maybe it’s just the background in the picture . You’ll need to capture the blue one now .
This is the best channel, thank you for taking the time so we can see these awesome transformations.
What a transformation! Chris your attention to detail is impressive. Always love when your new content drops. That blue really pops. Hope the new air exchanger drops the temps and improves your power.
Mounts look great on
Cooler maybe add some rubber mounts to prevent cracking in the future.
I have that same exact heat exchanger on my LSA swapped nova…..my IATs rarely go over 100*…………on occasion in the dead of summer at a standstill maybe, but when its rolling she does a helluva job!!! And looks mean sitting behind the grill!
Awesome! Good to know
Holy shit I need a seller using your cars picture is the biggest flex
You do excellent work, Cobra looks amazing. This series has been great.
I REALLY look forward to your videos!🎉
Great work man! Miss my 04. I forget the brand, but I changed my heat exchanger as well. It had SVT in the middle of it. Looked great. Only mods I had were a pulley, exhaust, heat exchanger and short throw. Right around 500WHP. That Eaton used to scream man! I like ford so of course my grocery getter is a SHO twin Turbo Eco boost lol. It’s a sled, but not for long muhahahahahaha.
Awesome like always! The go under the car washer attachment was super cool, like how you do everything yourself, by yourself. Great episode!
Thanks 👍
She’s a beauty Chris! Wow looks so good after the wash. New exchanger looks so much better. Definitely looks better great job!
I think so too!
Ur always painting in the cold. 😂😂😂 sounds like something i would do. Great content brother. Much love from Maryland❤❤❤
Thanks bro!
Honey!!! Chris dropped another video!!
GET THE SNACKS
that front end looks fantastic
I like your attention to details. I will keep watching.
Damn good job with the new touches to the front end bro! The heat exchanger made all the difference in the world. Are you going to keep it and add to your personal collection? It’s definitely worth it.
How do you not have sponsors and 1M subs . You are talented with cars and cinematography.
Thanks! Working on it 💪
