Clutch is done. Took the car for a drive. Drives really nice. Shifts great, clutch is nice and light. Really glad it's done. It feels slow compared to my coupe and convertible, but it's still a cobra! 
I put on a new clutch cable when I did the clutch. Today my clutch cable broke. Not the actual cable but the part where it is against the firewall adjuster pulled the outer cable through the plastic. Luckily I was close to home and got home in 2nd gear. I put the old adjustable cable back on for now and ordered the ford racing cable. I bought the broken cable from a member of another site a while back, so I don't really know what brand it is? The clutch is a stock replacement and the pedal was really nice and light and felt great so I don't think there is a problem there, I think the cable just sucked....
I picked up my paint today. In the picture above look at the difference from the tail light housing and the trunk lid. Night and day. .
Yeah, I just ordered one through blue oval industries. They for some reason ship to me for free...almost like living in one of those lower 48 deals.....
Started my day with this
Worked on it a couple of hours
and ended up with these
Can't wait to put them on the car!

I've seen that issue with aftermarket parts house cables. If the plastic isn't white at the ends I won't use them. That issue has almost stranded me several times. If they dont pull through the end they'll bind up in the casing causing the pedal to get really stiff. I will not install them pin customers cars.
Good job on the headlights

Great job on those tails, and what a deal on the intake! You have a spare bedroom so I can just come stay and gather cheap car and parts for a while?
The tail lights look nice, but once I reinstalled them I can see how the color is off....a lot. 
I am going to take the gas cover off and have them try to match the paint. I went with the paint code but what you see is what I ended up with.
So, I installed my new front lights to make me feel better

Very nice on the headlights. As far as tails, red is such a hard color to match. I didnt install the hood scoop on my car yet because it doesnt match my hood also. Just leave them sit in the sun for a couple years while you drive your notch, then theyll match!
Alright Chris, the primer you used beneath your red is too dark. Reds are very transparent.The tail lights look nice, but once I reinstalled them I can see how the color is off....a lot.

I’m betting the red is closer than you thought or that it appears on your taillights right now.
You’ll either have to get a lighter grey undercoat or spray several more coats of red before clear coating.
