New front end on my S197
#14
Thanks guys for the kind remarks.
Those hood pins were kind of a bitch to get in a flat spot though, eventually we just reversed the mounts to get them where they are right now.
Future plans include:
-Adjustable sway bars and all the necessary suspension bracing
-Eibach Pro lowering kit
-Rear seat delete
-Brake cooling/fogs in the front lower grilles
-Either a 5.4l swap or FI on the 4.0l till it blows
I plan on it being more of a track car than a street vehicle, but its going to take a lot to get there.

When prepping to paint those hoods, you shouldn't try to stick paint to the coating. Primer will need to go on the coating that comes on the hood from TF, just a heads up.

I had it done by a friend at a body shop, it took him around 3 days of experimenting on the hood to see what would work. I'm sure he did a proper job but from what he was saying he had to wet sand it down to even get anything to even stick to.
