Cali special, no lights though. Brings back bad flashbacks of the 90s and light up windshield washer sprayers

Well the lights wouldn't be on long just in the turning lane and changing lanes. I like both but this one is a little more subtle since its at the front on the hood and goes in instead of the scoop.

Do the lights face the driver, or the road? Can't tell looks as if they face the driver

Ya they face the driver which seems pretty dumb but it already has the normal blinkers under the headlights and I have liked the california hood for a while so I will probably go with that one. And my local Master auto body won't paint fiberglass hoods.

One thing that is absolutely killing the look of your car is that dang trunk rack. TAKE IT OFF!
I know there will be holes in the trunk if you do, but man it will still look so much better. Really liking the car and the fact that you are young and keeping a classic feel to it, don't find many people your age willing to keep a classic car classic. Keep up the good work man, you are definitely going in the right direction. As for the guy with the Blazer talking crap, shrug it off and ignore him. I get people like that all the time, you know why they do it? To make themselves feel bigger and badder even though they are mostly just jealous of what you have and want to find a way to redeem themselves in thinking they are faster. In the end, you still have the cooler car. Don't even bother racing him, I'd hate to see the idiot screw up and smash into your car. |

As for the luggage rack instead of talking it off and filling in the trunk holes i found some pretty cheap deck lids and thought about getting it and painting it the same time the new hood gets painted.

Amen to it, nothing like screaming out the window at highway speeds to the guy next to you as he asks questions about it.. Classics FTW.

Update Time
Just got back from a trip to duncanville from a hood I found on craigslist. He wanted to get rid of it so it was only 50 dollars which is in my price range and a really good deal. It has a shelby hood scoop on it and just needs some sanding and then the paint work. Best part is I bought some hood pins about 2 months ago and this hood already had the holes for them and they fit perfectly. So....... Later in the week I might take to old one off and put this on before paint to get a better feel of how it would look but am going to have to take the hood latch off the old hood so it would just be a mock up.

A little update
So hopefully if we can contact the autobody place they can get the hood painted. We have a shop a friend recommended that does quality paint quick and cheap so might check it out. Got quite a bit of rain today so I decided to take some pictures while the car was out of the garage due to a garage cleaning. <soon to have a GT hood scoop its already painted and paid to be installed just need to find the right time where the car isn't needed for a while and to put the front ground effects put back on. decided to take a couple of my mom's car as well. Now there is a sign in the garage that says mustang parking only because 4 out of the 5 people in my family drive a mustang other than my dad's truck. It also got a much needed alignment which now drives straight for once without holding the wheel.

Get a nice tuning kit and read how to build them and it will do you good. 600 Is a good CFM for a little stock motor too.
Square or spread bore?

Its a square bore and appears to be in good condition. The guy bought it from one of his friends but didn't really have a use for it but bought it since he thought I might be interested and he told me and picked it up 2 days later. It didn't come with the gaskets though so i'll probably go get those from Dallas Mustang.

Thanks the hood pins are my favorite part. So as of now my plans are buy an edelbrock intake and have the carburator installed. But once more money is saved up it is going back in the bodyshop to have the luggage rack removed and the holes filled and also have the passenger mirror removed.

NICE, but with the mean hood, you need to loose the stock wheels and luggage rack.
It's badass up front, and ready to hit the super market in back. Does this hood function?

Thats what I said when we saw it ready for the first time today I was saying it looks weird with the hood and a luggage rack. But the luggage rack is next on my list after the carburator is put on. As for the wheels that will be a while since the ones I want are the torq-thrust II's and those are a little pricey. But the hood isn't actually functional its just there for looks I would have made it functional but we bought it this way so I just left it alone.

Well the carburator shouldn't be too far from being installed
Still needed an intake for the carburator and picked up this air gap. My favorite part on it Also had the church car show on saturday 5-9-09 and it went well. In 2007 I took first place overall and wasn't able to go in 2008. But this year I took 3rd place which I was suprized because the other cars in the category but got beat by a red 67 camaro and a 66 vette. Took 103 pictures total so i'm not going to upload them here but feel free to go through my myspace folder. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...lbumId=2970056
