This is most likely a dumb question

mr.bubbles · Mar 4, 2008

Ok, I'm 14 and a lot of this is new to me. So, my car is going in for paint and body work next week. My question is, when people talk about rolling the inner fender lip, is that the little edge when you grab up under the fender that sticks out maybe 1/4" - 1/2". I want to make sure I'm telling my body guy the right thing. I just want to do whatever I can to prevent my tires from rubbing. Also, does anyone know what a cobra grille with out the horizontal section would look?

iwashmycar · Mar 4, 2008

yes thats rolling the lip..

the cobra grille has no center bar...the LX does..

cobra grille...

Ok, thanks. I'll get the fenders rolled then just in case.

iwashmycar · Mar 4, 2008

probably not worth it...how do you get an LX grill? Never seen one for sale...

it would probably be cheaper to buy a cobra vs. paying the guy to do all the extra work... and if you did it, unless your good with the stuff, it may look bad painted in the end

i assume you have a GT..

mr.bubbles · Mar 4, 2008

Yeah ok thanks, I can't really get a clear picture of the grille in my head but I remember it as an lx style grille with the horizontal piece but the center mount for the badge isnt round for the ford symbol. But of course I could just be dreaming things up and have no idea what I'm talking about.

Your 14 and have a car? and asking about how to roll fender lips?
Your ok in my book kid!

^But you guys give hell to Ryan. Go figure!

And if that Mustang above had just a cowl hood, it would be one sexy beast!

I am witholding judgement until I see countless posts about what color to paint my car and why wont my dad let me have a 5spd.

BlownFiveLiter · Mar 4, 2008

It's a talk section and he's 16, cut him some slack. Be happy he likes Mustangs, and isn't some Civic driving ricer!

that does sound odd....like an LX with a pony instead of the oval...might actually look nice

stykthyn · Mar 4, 2008

I have seen a running pony on an oval emblem before, but I have never seen anyone graft a cobra or sn95 pony onto the lx grill. might look interesting

LaserSVT · Mar 4, 2008

I bet what your thinking of is a SN95 nose
I see youve been a member since 12, pretty cool

Now if your parents tell you that you cant do something to the car dont post it on here cause youll get crap, like Ryan

It's allready a 5 speed, and I'm painting it '93 cobra R red.

it was a poke at ryan. in the two years he has been a member that is pretty much what every single one of his threads have consisted of.

grey5.0beast · Mar 4, 2008

ehh... i joined at 14 but I just browsed mostly. Never thought I'd be doing a COMPLETE rebuild at 18, but it happens.

Good luck with the car!!
