The SN65 project car

What about a '03 Cobra R hood insert?

This is the truck version, but the Mustang one doesn't show up too well with it being red. You've got the wheels and the wheel well openings, I don't think getting a lift off hood (or maybe they have one that one of the corners is damaged) and cutting the center out to put on your hood would be too outlandish and would pay tribute to the donor car. I'd be willing to bet once they saw how extensive a project it is, they'd probably donate it to the cause for a little recognition.

OR BETTER YET!!!! Cervinis is noted for making some of the finest fiberglass products for cars out there. What you could do is send them your hood and they could make a mold off of it and make a custom, one off hood for the SN95 car AND THEN we could show our support by asking them to make hoods for the rest of us and maybe we could get some quality fiberglass for the early Mustangs made. :nice: That, my friends, is a fine plan. :spot: :banana: :cheers:
 
I updated my last post so that you can see the photos.

Here are two more (you can only download 2 per post).

i'm with you bro, i'd like some quality glass for the 69 as well, especially the shelby style decklid and end caps and a really nice glass hood
 
Hi SN65, congratulations on such an excellent project. I only wish I had the time, talent and tools to pull off a job like that. Just one comment on the bonnet. I noticed that the bonnet you are using has pin holes in the front. Are you planning on leaving these as is, filling them or replacing them? I've always thought that the 'lynch pins and safety chain' installations look very 'afterthought' and cheap. I think the lines would look cleaner using one of these options:

Keep up the good work :cheers:

PS I had a look at some of the Australian posts that you linked to the other week. Seems there's a few jealous people out there :D
 
Hi All,

I just registered the domain SN65.com and am getting ready to download the website. It will have a complete history and photos of the build. The site is currently a work in prosess, but I will be updating and tweaking things (I am sure that I will be getting a lot of input from you all) after I get the site on line and running.

I think the site is cool at this stage. I do have to point out one oversight, however. Your moniker "To much is never enough" should be "Too much is never enough." Not trying to nitpick, but its the first thing a potential customer might notice.

Hi 65,

Thanks for the heads up. It is already fixed.

Also, please nit pick away. :-)

Here is another nitpick. Under your "What Have We Done?" there is the following line "What we have done is taken a slightly different approach to “rest-o-moding”.

You need to put another "d" into rest-o-modding and put the period before the quote.

Site looks good, I am glad everything is consolidated there.

I HAVE TO ASK!!!! it says

"Come see this car and find out what all the buzz is about. Drive this car and see what a truly updated classic Mustang should be."

are you really gonna let me drive it when its done???
 
I'm been meaning to ask when the 2003 fender flares got axed in favor of the modified Eleanor flares. I think that must have happened behind the scenes. What caused the change?

I also noticed that the site says "All the current safety features (air bags, etc…) and electronics have been retained." Didn't you decide against using the air bags or did something change?
