Project: Mustang Cobra GT500

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.

[BS Mods]

Since I am a huge muscle car fan, this is right up my alley!

Looking good so far.

[TheGreatSatan]

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

[TheGreatSatan]

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

[SXRguyinMA]

lookin good!

[x88x]

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

[TheGreatSatan]

Oh the wonders you'll see. . . . . . . .

[TheGreatSatan]

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

[CorsePerVita]

Nice!

[TheGreatSatan]

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
