This is most likely a dumb question

[mr.bubbles]

Ok, I'm 14 and a lot of this is new to me. So, my car is going in for paint and body work next week. My question is, when people talk about rolling the inner fender lip, is that the little edge when you grab up under the fender that sticks out maybe 1/4" - 1/2". I want to make sure I'm telling my body guy the right thing. I just want to do whatever I can to prevent my tires from rubbing. Also, does anyone know what a cobra grille with out the horizontal section would look?

 

[iwashmycar]

yes thats rolling the lip..

the cobra grille has no center bar...the LX does..

Ok, thanks. I'll get the fenders rolled then just in case.

 

[iwashmycar]

probably not worth it...how do you get an LX grill? Never seen one for sale...

it would probably be cheaper to buy a cobra vs. paying the guy to do all the extra work... and if you did it, unless your good with the stuff, it may look bad painted in the end

i assume you have a GT..

 

[mr.bubbles]

Yeah ok thanks, I can't really get a clear picture of the grille in my head but I remember it as an lx style grille with the horizontal piece but the center mount for the badge isnt round for the ford symbol. But of course I could just be dreaming things up and have no idea what I'm talking about.

^But you guys give hell to Ryan. Go figure!

And if that Mustang above had just a cowl hood, it would be one sexy beast!

I am witholding judgement until I see countless posts about what color to paint my car and why wont my dad let me have a 5spd.

It's a talk section and he's 16, cut him some slack. Be happy he likes Mustangs, and isn't some Civic driving ricer!

that does sound odd....like an LX with a pony instead of the oval...might actually look nice

 

[stykthyn]

I have seen a running pony on an oval emblem before, but I have never seen anyone graft a cobra or sn95 pony onto the lx grill. might look interesting

 

[LaserSVT]

I bet what your thinking of is a SN95 nose
I see youve been a member since 12, pretty cool

Now if your parents tell you that you cant do something to the car dont post it on here cause youll get crap, like Ryan

It's allready a 5 speed, and I'm painting it '93 cobra R red.

ehh... i joined at 14 but I just browsed mostly. Never thought I'd be doing a COMPLETE rebuild at 18, but it happens.

Good luck with the car!!
