Is there a paint code for cobra wheels? I definitely want to get those spot on. I’ll have to buy new centers though, mine are black and doubt they can be restored to that finish.
Does everyone use sealant for the throttle body to egr(intake for me) gasket? There was none on mine when it came off. With most gaskets, I usually use the gasket tack sealant stuff that you brush on, I think it’s dark reddish.
I think it's the same argent paint used for the pony wheels.

I’m guessing these would work in the dome light, but I can’t remember if these are the ones that get too hot? I have a diode dynamics led bulb in there, but it doesn’t get very bright. Was cleaning out the garage and stumbled across this.
Got the PCV and vacuum tree installed. Took it indoors and am gonna let the thread sealant dry for a bit. I take it the PCV and vacuum tree don’t have to be super tight especially since it’s aluminum?
Not too happy with the cobra plaque. It hangs over the mount considerably on every edge, unless that’s how they are supposed to be. It’s from 5.0 Resto, maybe I should have bought an NOS one off of eBay.
10-12ft lbs for the upper to lower bolts is what I’ve read, sequence from center out? I really need to get a manual.
Excuse the mess! My workbench isn’t the biggest!

Just snug the tree. Do not over tighten it, or else you’ll be hitting up karthief for the tubular you sold him and asking him to sell it back to you. 
Well once you get that GT40 on there, let me know. You can never have too many spare parts.. or..
So I found my fuel evap canister hose laying next to my valve cover. Had a red golf tee in the end (at least it matches the paint). Would have thought that would have thrown an engine light not being hooked up? Should I hook it in the cobra intake or just leave it capped?

The gt40 is going on the 'junk pile' when I put my gt40ps back on, it has a tubular intake on it now but yours was prettier than mine!
I picked up a 95 cobra vert yesterday

@kartheif finally can start a progress/build thread? Or at least post pics of his cars?
