roblectric Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Dang Jer! Looks like your progressing faster than yoggie. Looks good. My stripes are a couple shades lighter than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoggiebhr Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Dang!!!! I had a feeling early on that I would be last. Maybe it's cause I'm having the underside of the hood striped too. My center section will be black, but the stripes will wrap around onto the underside and stop at the beginning of the black section. Estimated delivery is next week, so Jer and I will be neck and neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoggiebhr Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks guys. I think I found the slowest body shop in the south, but it looks like they're doing a good job on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoggiebhr Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looking great Jer. How are you doing the underside of the hood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 That is fine-texture stone guard, then black paint, then a satin clearcoat (for easy wipedown and cleanup). It's something new we're trying. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roblectric Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Almost there! Do I detect a little uneven stripage at the hood vents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBlueHeaven Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Wow that looks nice. I can't wait to get that hood. I sure hope they last long enough for me to get one. Congrats that is gonna be B-E-A utiful. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoggiebhr Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thanks jeff! Rob: could be the angle I took the pick. I blew the pic up and I didn't see any uneven ness at the vents. Lookz like they resized the vents a bit to make them even. They have a few areas on the clear they need to sand and respray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roblectric Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Yoggie , did you buy the billet cap set? If so,the coolant reservoir cap wont fit under the hood. Just a heads up. Going to have to find a way to lower the reservoir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoggiebhr Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I do have the billet cap set, the body guys hadn't mentioned the problem. Have you checked to see if the stock cap clears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblectric Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Yes the stock cap clears. I put my cap set on last night and made the discovery. Started to think how I could lower the tank but haven't come up with anything yet. Not even sure if its possible and haven't made precise measurements yet. Was disappointed but then my wife said " good thing you didn't stick it on yet. For car shows you can just set it on there. Who will know?" Great idea! Duh.

yoggiebhr Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My caps are already on..so if it hits, they're going to see it before I ever bring it home. I appreciate the heads up on this, I'll make sure to look it over good before it leaves the shop. Seeing the progress has me all excited to get it back. I noticed yesterday they haven't done anything to the bumpers yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblectric Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I may have found my solution if the measurements work out. A Moroso aluminum tank would look so much nicer in there but I have to call them to get specific heights from the top of the theaded inlet to the mounting holes. If the Moroso tank is 5/8" lower in height than stock I gotter made. Going to start another thread to see if somebody already has this tank and can make some measurements for me.

yoggiebhr Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Rob, I talked with the body shop today and they told me they had noticed how close the clearance was on the cap. They had done a Cobra R a few months back and had ran into the same problem. He claims the cap cleared on my car, but just barely. I told them to use their judgment, but if it was looking to close, go ahead and take the cap off and I'll just put it on for shows. He mentioned that they made a lowering bracket for the tank on the Cobra, so that could be a possibility too instead of replacing the entire tank. I'm going to take a look at it when it gets home. Estimated pickup date is this Friday afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblectric Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hope everything works out for you and you can pick it up on time. The new tank is only $120 and will be the first stages of the engine bay dress up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkside323 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Quick question. Shelby states the hood will not fit a 07 GT 500. Is this because the shock tower brace or the supercharger. Thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
