The one pictured is using oval tubing. It's round from the header then transitions to oval under the floor. If he had used a darker flat coating it wouldn't stand out as much as it does.

I like the look of it but I still plan on running the side pipes on mine.

I thought I was going to get the engine back together over the next week or so. The head bolts I ordered were delivered but they only sent a pack of 10, and there were only 8 bolts in the pack. Not even enough to torque down 1 head. So I keep waiting. The clutch fork arrived so I think all I'm missing on the tranny/clutch side is the bellhousing bolts, which I can get locally.

It's supposed to be nice this weekend so maybe I'll start stripping parts off the mustang. Maybe.

Re: HG's Dream Car Build - Shelby Cobra Kit

A pack of 10 more head bolts showed up. Was supposed be 12. I'm still 2 bolts short of a full set. Kinda like a few cards short of a full deck, which is what most would believe anyway when they see the latest pile of crap I drug home.

Meet project Free Candy. This is a future build that will get put into the back corner of the shed until I'm ready.
