    Exhaust is fully welded. I then dropped the h pipe to add some wideband bungs. Unfortunately, that was all the progress I made today. I went to a pull a part to get some random stuff. Then went to northern tool for a new welding helmet. I let overspray ruin my old old one. Oh well this one is...

    I did too. It’s an awesome experience. If you make every checkpoint, it’s alot of driving. We drove 400 miles last year, that was just for the checkpoints. I’m going again this year. Just don’t know if The car will be ready.

    Last year before cruisin the coast, I decided to tackle a fuel heating issue that was giving me problems. Rough hot starts, really loud fuel pumps, and some power loss in hot weather. The system was two 255 LPH pumps plumbed through the factory lines and fuel rails. The regulator was mounted...

    Finally back on my car! Made the following progress last weekend. Interior is fully assembled, extended 3rd brake light harness and installed the light, and mocked up the cobra kit. Since the carpet is new, I decided to buy some new floor mats. 03 cobra motor + 93 cobra kit = cobra...

    Adjusted the alignment and filled the a/c during the week. Tonight we put the door moldings on. That was actually pretty painless. I was stressed about having problems or screwing it up. But we thought our way through it and came up with a fail proof method. And with that, the car is...

    Put me in the don’t like it camp. Not only are they out of proportion, I don’t like the style either.

    Looks good. Sometimes I don’t even tack. Just air it off after wax and grease remover.

    Another productive Saturday ,everything is done but the door moldings. Installed the front bumper, cobra grill insert and the headlights. Then pulled it out into the sun. Needless to say, I’m pleased. It looks outstanding. Then gave it a quick bath and drove it for the first time in 7...

    Fish eyes or solvent pop? Craters or raised bumps? Fish eyes leave a void, a hollow crater and are an indication of contamination in the gun or paint. Solvent pops look like raised bumps. It’s the reducer trying to evaporate after the top layer of paint has skinned over. Could be caused by...

    LMR reproducing 10 holes wheels???

    That’s exactly what I’m thinking. I have my original set that I’ve been holding onto for 17 years. They’re pristine and Ford OEM. No curb rash. What are they worth?

    LMR reproducing 10 holes wheels???

    I’d be curious to see how they look in 17’s, but would never buy them.

    LMR reproducing 10 holes wheels???

    That was my first thought when I saw it. I thought they must be offering them in a larger size. Did they ever come on GT’s or was it LX’s only?

    LMR reproducing 10 holes wheels???

    This topic might not get many reply’s, but I was curious as to your thoughts. I got an email today from LMR. They’re reproducing 10 hole wheels. Priced at $550 a set! I’m was kinda shocked to see that. A few years ago you couldn’t get rid of these wheels for a $100 total. Is this a...

    For your sake, I hope that matte black sprays easier than this course silver metallic.

    No, I’m not getting paid. I don have the experience or skills to even about think charging for this. This is my second complete paint job and first metallic. It’s not perfect but good enough all things considered. I’ve pretty much only learned what not to do. I’m in Huntsville.

    And then some more progress last night. Front and rear window trim installed. Then the cowl. And the passenger side skirt. Seeing the trim on is like the icing on the cake. It really ties everything together. We literally have 5 items left. Driver side skirt, door moldin...

    We then installed the rear bumper and tail lights guys. Then, we finally got to see cobra spoiler installed. The LX taillights really look good with this color. Installed the hood after wet sand and polish.
