Wow, nice work on the hinges. They look almost like aftermarket now, I might have to give it a shot on mine.

Here is a quick look at the mirrors I am using for this project. The body of the mirror is gloss black and the moveable portion is a matte black. I used the two shades of black to go with everything else. I am using Ring Brothers door handles which are also gloss black and matte black. All my trim on the car as well as the grill will be matte black and the Forgeline wheels will be matte blacke with a gloss black lip. The mirrors are not power but they do have integrated led turn signals.

They are Shelby mirrors. I got them from a place called Mustang Project. They only come in chrome, but what they did for me was sent just the body and mirror housing so I can get them powder coated. I sent them back and they assembled them. Here is a link.

I started to clean up my Flowmaster muffler. For ground clearance purposes, I am using the Delta Force Low Profile dual in dual out. These will also act as the crossover. In order to quiet down the exhaust, I will also be using resonators at the rear of the car.

The only problem with the Delta Force is they have 3 1/2 oval inlets and outlets. In order to make them work with my 3" round tubes, I had to make some transitions. I also cleaned up all the factory welds. I am not quite finished but it's almost done.

Here is some before pics of the muffler...




Here are the transitions I am making using the existing 3" round tubes. I am using a 20 ton press to expand eich piece one half inch and the I clamped them in a vice to get the oval shape.








And here is the almost finished muffler, it will later be jet hot coated black...
