Oh, and I know the black stipe isn't perfect. I'll be adding some pinstriping to it so it stands out more.
Now that the paint is dry within the case I put the bay clips and screws back in
The backplates are getting painted too.

Since I am a huge muscle car fan, this is right up my alley!
Looking good so far.

I got the cobra logo! Once I touch up the pinstriping I'll add it

I got an actual Cobra logo from Ford
The lettering is 2" and applying it is easy
This is the same striping used for cars
I carefully cut more than enough to mold
I was happy to get a flat edge with the striping
Now comes the big one. I had to cut it from 6" to 2"
We're nearing the end

Looks great. That's awesome that you got an actual Cobra piece.

I taped off the side panel where I want to put the window and then clamped a ruler along its edge to keep my dremel on the right path
And it only takes about 10 minutes
Then I grab a large piece of plexi to size up
Once the window edges are filed down and the holes for the rivets are drilled, I add a coat of paint
While the paint dries I go back to the other panel and use an epoxy to add an automobile filter that will later be used in conjunction with an intake fan
Now that the paint is dry I can add the window I cut with rivets and these little pieces of metal I cut from the old side panel
They'll take the pressure from the rivets off of the glass to prevent it from cracking
I still have to be careful putting them in because I could easily scratch the glass or damage the paint
Here's where I'm at right now

Nice!
So, I've been thinking that plain old thumbscrews weren't going to be good enough this time
Then I found that they actually sell cool cobra tire valve caps. I'm going to make my own thumbscrews!
I just have to add a little QuickSteel and a regular case screw
Now I just have to let them dry
