Thank you, I have a CS front bumper that has to get painted... It will have the cobra jet front clip once I put the bullitt grille on the cs bumper. Also buying another set of race rims this winter (Black 15inch holeshot revolvers)

So it will look differnt shortly...

one more pic just for good measure :P of the way it sits as of right now (put the head light back in the driver side)

I never use ac in any of my cars... so why have it lol? extra weight I took off. I drive it all the time on the hwy with the 4.30s. At 110 kms the rpms are around 2600 which isnt bad at all with my 26 inch et street.

Yep, 4.30's in a mod motor is more like 3.73's in 5.0 pushrod motor. I had 4.30's in my N/A 97 cobra and it could have used 4.56's or 4.88's.

Im making the switch to 4.56s this winter but going with a big tire now.. 28x10.5x15 slick on my holeshots and then run a 325x50x15 Dragradial on my bogarts for the street :P
