I've recently changed getting Polk speakers to Memphis Audio stuff. The guy that will install it uses their products. He hooking me up with a good deal. I guess I will use their subs too later on.

I'm going to go see my car tomorrow. I'll post pics of her.

Went to see her today! They have the 96 Cobra hood on, just needs more work done on the gaps though. It looked great to me! They are now working on my ABC Cobra front bumper & my GT rear one. Josh, my cousin, says they are requiring more work than they wanted to give them! Once they get them done, it should all come together nicely.


Hope y'all enjoy!!

I will also be swapping my saddle/tan top to a black one. I made that call late last night. I will keep my doors & dash the tan color. I will buy new 2 tone front seats, new black carpet, and have my light bar dyed to black. I will have the 2 tone done in black with tan inserts! The black top with just look better with the paint scheme I am going with.

I'm having my taillights tinted to match I hope my smoked lights from BOI. I just learned they showed up busted to bad word!! Justin said 1 was broken in half!! I have a buddy with a 10th Ann '03 Cobra Conv, sweet car. He had his done by the same guy. He says I can use the same box that he did. Mine was not packed the best, I admit. Still should not have been busted in half. I've typed about changing up my interior, right? Where my car's @, that's where I used to live and is the upholstery shop & stereo place is I use. I've got ?'s for them anyhow. I've got a RSD picked out in black, I just need to know if it will hold 2 10" subs. I've also got to ask if they can add tan/saddle inserts into the Hunsaker seats I want to buy!

I've got a sweet idea for them, too. The town I live in has the last American made baseball glove, Nokona Athletics. I wanted to have my seats made out of their glove leather. I've got it down to if the inserts are out of it, that's enough! I've played baseball/softball for about 19 years. I've only wore their gloves! They are just a great company!

Going to be nice!!! See ya!!

Here's what I have of my buddy's car:



His car is just awesome!! He has about every perf mod there is on it. His car makes, I think 486 HP. His belt was slipping or something though. Now it is fixed, he should be over the 500 mark. Just a great car!!

Yeah his plates really goes with his car! I also use Sn95Forums.com. I saw on it the car that BADMPG is on! It was a black 03-04 Cobra! I think it lives in Dallas. He only drives this car to work on Fridays & Saturdays. He is a barber. This is a super badass car though. Dang, I wish I could remember what he has on it!

When I get my car back, I think it will look nicer, simply because it's mine! He definitely will blow my little puny 302 out of the water though.

Your cars gonna look awesome too. Don't get me wrong, but that Cobra is like one of the top 2 or 3 black sn95's I've ever seen. But I'm a sucker for black out lights though.

Just came from seeing her. The body has not changed, that much. I think they were concentrating on my hood and bumpers! The gaps of my hood looked a lot better. The bumpers are finished with the work. I think they are ready for primer or have it on now. They had a white finish to them. My cousin had a faculty meeting, so I was by myself. It looked just great to me! I didn't think about taking my camera, because I was went mainly to my upholstery shop & stereo guy.

None yet. I'm trying not to bother my cousin about it. I figured he will get it done as fast as he can. My bugging will just get in the way!

@ 1st, he wanted to have it done by 12/17. That is the start of their Xmas break. Since the hood I bought needed a lot of work, that has them kinda behind. I told him if he needs to keep it, that is fine with me. He says if they can't get it out, it will probably be the 1st week of Jan, I think. That just gives me longer to save up for my interior change. I want my car, I can go longer w/o it though!! That's all I know of it!

Thanks for asking!!

Just made the for sure call on getting my black conv top! Before now, it was still in the 'want' category! When I get it back, it will have just about all new stuff.

I've gone back to my original plan. I will now have the stuff painted in black, instead of charcoal. I think this will look much better with my new black conv top!

Kinda easier anyhow. I will buy new Saleen rims. With the charcoal color, I would have to have these painted. Then I could mount them! This way, they can stay in black, which I was going to order them anyhow!

Update 12/11!!!

Josh said he will not have it finished my his Xmas break. It will be in Jan of '09 now. That hood I bought was an extra week in getting ready. Plus he has 2 kids working on mine, that's all the 2nd year students he has. 1 has been out for like a week, sick I'm guessing. It's no big deal to me, at all!! That just gives me more time to save up some $. I know she is locked up safe, that's all I can ask for!!
