i got a little speed happy when i first got it but thats all changed. I guess i had to learn the hard way but i did learn. and only things that have been damaged were already in some way damaged. Trust me it wont happen again.

Shes in the shop as we speak. the front end and cowl panel are being pulled and reshaped. no paint yet just body work as i havent decided on my hood yet. got a mach 1 hood the other day. its not in perfect shape so not sure if i want to invest all kinds of money to have it professionally sprayed. i guess well see when i get the car back. for now its a stock hood maroon with black stripes.

You have to put a nut and a bolt through the bumper and quarter, should take care of that. My cervinis bumper fits like a glove.

Ya there was a bracket underneath but the cervinis didnt seem to use it. ill take another look and now that you mention it i think i remember a place on the inside of the bumper for a bolt.

And figured id mention your car is the reason i wanted to get the cobra bumper. I loved reading your build thread.

i actually think im gonna move away from the stock hood. i picked up a mach 1 style hood that im gonna throw on and have that painted. if you like i can bring your hood back when i put the new hood on if your interested in selling it.

so its been a while but i have some updates. once i wrapped my head around a red interior i had to have it. so ive pieced everything together. The dash and center console have less than 40k on them. its almost all done. i bought a brand new carpet. the seats were in beautiful condition but the person i bought them from had them stored in a shed and stepped all over them so they were very dirty. it all came out when i cleaned them so i got front and rear seats for a steal. fronts rears and the panels for the rear all for $180. but here are the pics so far.

Ive never seen anyone switch to red interior either. It can look good with the right combo of black.
