Finally some time to work and some progress. Installing the first headlight was fun... matching it on the other side is a beeaaatch! got if though. had to figure out my front end, fascia, heat exchanger placement, etc... as well as a bunch of other fitment challenges... The front fascia wraps around like a late model, and is easily removable for H/E access. Im waiting on a new design fiberglass hood from Mustang Depot that should be in in a few more days... then I can finalize the fabrication and get it into filler and primer.... then the rest is a crapload of blocking and fitting gaps. The goal is to get it ready for Power Tour, or at the very latest SEMA.... when you're a one man show its all about time management I guess..

It looks good Kevin. I wouldn't even be able to do the first side never mind matching it. Nice work. Nice brake set up too.

Kevin look's real nice.Awesome project.:thumbsup: Scott Mock

Thanks guys, I know it doesn't look like much in a fab-stage... but it'll start showing its real character soon enough. Once the stance is established and the overall silhouette is revealed it should be kinda mean looking. I appreciate the support, especially here where so many incredible cars are revealed and documented.

Looking great!! :thumbsup:

Why not use the hood in the first pic? Does the hood not clear the blower assy?

KT where you been???

Looks good Kevin. When's the completion date? Sema??

Must be alot more fun working on this rather than the projects on the show :lol:

The hood in the pics before this one has a clearance issue with the IAC and blower inlet plenum. I bought the "DRAGON" inlet and giant single blade throttle body which as the IAC on the bottom... but it lifts the inlet elbow up for clearance and just creates another problem. I'd have to put a "buldge" in the Gt500 Hood that would look like crap. I was going to use a giant "Boss 9" scoop, but then found this new design hood that has extractors and ram air inlets... looks badass!

Im really hoping that it's finished by Power tour.... the biggest obstacle is the body and custom fab on the nose... the rest is mostly reassembly and wiring/plumbing. I'm going to be leaning on some friends and enlisting their help to accomplish this... I just cant wait to drive the silly thing! LOL!

Thanks for the kind words.
