Hey everyone... sorry I really didn't post last week. I was waiting to get a few more photos, but it's been raining practically every other day here and then the busiest week at work followed by way too many home projects... but I digress.

Are you going to paint everything yourself?
I bought varies Cobra body parts that are all different colors. I want to do everything myself.
Any tips on sanding, primer, paint? Spray gun brand? Paint brand?
Yes, I'm going to be painting everything myself. I already did the Bullitt scoops and interior pieces myself. I've also repainted two of my previous cars, and these were full repaints (not just a few parts). Here are some photos of the last two cars I repainted (

Very nice work, I like the body fill.
BTW... A Bullitt Mustang, and an HSE 4.6 Range Rover...
Just got the HSE 4.6 not too long ago, replaced the 95 Benz S420 that we had. The Bullitt is no longer with us, sold it to my dad. His first car was a 67 Shelby GT350, and the Bullitt rekindled that Pony love he has.

Sweet, that is a nice lookin Stang you have there. What other plans do you have for it? When I removed my stripes, I removed the spoiler to get the trunk stripes off. I left it off for a few days... the no-spoiler look, i'm still not sold on it. On my Bullitt, it looked awesome. From some angles on the conv, it looked great, on others not so much. So for now, spoiler is back on.

Please post images of your under hood installation when you get it completed. I am totally jealous
The install is not 100% complete yet, still need to run the duct from the scoop to the air cleaner, but here are some underhood photos (yes, my engine compartment is fillthy...see above about the rain):
Here is the complete Kar Kraft bracket.
Here is a close up of the front of the bracket, you can see where it attaches to the upper alternator mounts.
This is the rear mounting of the bracket. You can't actually see where it mounts, but it is where the throttle cable bracket mounts as well. This shows a close up of the type of clearance around the intake elbow. I'm not sure if it will work with an aftermarket intake elbow, but you can probably do some good judging on this. You may have to grind away some areas of the bracket to get an exact fit with an aftermarket elbow though.
If the weather holds out today (so far it has been very sunny all day), I"m going to do my next test fit of the rear bumper and snap a few pics of it. So, maybe more updates tomorrow.
