They look great Russ. I'm a big fan of 5 spoke concave wheels, obviously

Oh fun so I guess cervini's uses a local freight company to handle the local deliveries of their parts....shipping company "misplaced" the hood. What sucks about the whole ordeal is since they will be delivering it on a 60ft big rig, they can't deliver on a dead end street. So i had to have my brother take time out of his day to be available to meet up with the guy... then they end up mis placing the hood somehow. This happened at roughly 2:30, by the end of hte day i still never heard back from them about them finding it..... so its looking great.

I wondered the same thing, thankfully im not in a HUGE hurry to put it on but still they as a shipping company should have their crap together.

well after getting the hood and vinyl i went on a snowboarding trip for a week. This past monday i was able to get to work on the hood. I was a bit worried that i wouldn't be able to do this myself and have to take it in so i told myself i was gonna give it one attempt and not go through a lot of vinyl. I also had help from a friend who has zero experience but a second set of hands is useful. Also the roll of vinyl i got is 5ftx 35ft.. the hood is just barely long enough. So the corners where the hinges are, made 2 seams to give myself more working room at the front of the hood where there will be more attention.

First attempt went great, pretty much looks awesome.

so here we go as far as the hood goes. It will be going on in a couple weeks whenever i can pull the stripes off the roof and trunk. Plus i want it to warm up a bit outside.

smart move to just redo your current ride instead of picking up a new one. That's the best thing about the mustang! It can be converted and upgraded and modded in just about anyway that you can imagine!


can't wait to see the finished product.

alright mostly done. Still left to do is get the new wheels mounted to the summer tires then put on the car. And the faux gas cap repainted and reinstalled.

Russ, which hood is that again? Is that the Cobra R hood? If so, I think that's the one I was thinking about getting some time in the future.

Looks great. So how much of a pain was it to wrap the mirrors.

a big pain, took the covers off and had to over lap material thats facing the door which is hard to see, it made it a bit easier to do it that way instead of fighting the vinyl.
