Which mounts are you talking about?
The plastic ones by the headlamps that holds that 10mm top bumper bolt?

If they don't come in time, you can reuse the original ones by swapping sides and do a little trimming where it mounts on the body.
I didn't do this on mine but it's been done before.
Yea, those. I will give that a try.I can get them here by wednesday, but I am going to contact the person who sold me the kit, as they sent me two other brackets that have nothing to do with this project. I believe there was a typo.

Alright, the car is off to paint. Here it is put together to get to the shop. My painter said he should have it painted this coming weekend, and I will be going by for inspection before the clear gets layed.

On a side note, I am very happy with the fitment of the TruFiber hood. After bolting it up, I had zero fitment issues that I had to deal with, and the latch works perfectly. Kudos to TruFiber.

That hood actually looks pretty straight.
The corners by the windshield match the fenders seems like, judging by the pictures.
The very front lip looks OK also. Hopefully, the whole thing won't be too wavy.
Glad that Trufiber has that one in specs.

Your car is on the way to being a spot on ride...
Good job!

That is what I am hoping for, no waves. I don't want a wave pool sitting on top of my engine. The hood does have some waves in it now if you look at it on a plain level, however, I believe a lot of what I am seeing will disappear with proper prep work.

I have a couple projects to do while the car is gone, which includes making a wiring extention for the fog lights, as I might or might not be purchasing the pig tails. I also have to ensure that I get the proper upper mounts sent to me, clean up my work space for the supercharger install, and buy all the lubes, cleaners, and tools I will need for the Whipple.

I am kind of hoping this gets done around the same time the Whipple shows up. Whipple was back ordered 3-4 weeks, and it has already been just over a week. If time is on my side, when I pull the front bumper off to install the headlights, grille, etc, I will be able to mount the intercooler and do my install on the supercharger, as opposed to having to take the bumper off, put on the light, put the bumper back on, then taking it off and on again when the whipple arrives.

Who knows, the next time I drive this car, it might be a whole new beast.

Your car is looking awesome man, nice work! Looks like you have a pretty grown money tree Mind if I take a leave??? lol I just paid a friend that is going to be getting the parts and be putting on for me, for the GT500 bumper. I cant wait to have money again so i could get the hood from trufiber. Well good luck and I cant wait to see the final outcome... Keep us posted, I know I'll be waiting for it...

Car is looking good Joe(MELLOWYELLOW06) did you get your hood thru HCM, how much did that cost you?......Anyways AZAlloy Get ready to play the intimidator role when your rolling up on somebody as they view you thru their rear view mirror, Rev those RPM's and watch them get out of your way, AWESOME!!!!!!!!.......................I think that your cars look really good with those Cobra front ends and its nice seeing them on the road, since the real Cobra owners dont drive their cars, have fun and enjoy your cars the way you want.
