Wrap it in leather (or pleather) with Allen head fasteners.

I think Rob could make a good living making Factory 5 kit cars out of old smashed Mustang parts.
But then he'd probably get bored as it'd be too easy for him.

I wasn't happy with the fit of the dash panel so I took it out and started over making a new panel, I also sunk it farther into the dash, I feel much better about this one.
There's a weird looking shadow on the right side of this photo but it does fit flush at the back now.

A couple of items that I didn't like and re-addressed....I took out the trunk mat and painted the floor with trunk paint.
I also repainted the front bumper and took out the ugly front license plate bracket, it will never match the car since it has stayed outside in the sun a little too long and is faded.

If you need someone to take a couple runs in your car for you, I can help you out... just be prepared to not place as well.

I'll keep that in mind....
The project is done...for now, hope you like it, it's not on the cusp as far as the "mod race tire" class goes but it's going to have to be close enough, maybe race seats in the future, that will be about it.
Overview:
99 Cobra, Hypercoil springs, Tokico blue shocks, 2X ball joints, bump steer kit, Brembo, Cobra "R' disc brakes, 3:55 gearing and short throw shifter, subframe connectors and Steeda urethane bushings throughout. Competition alignment and Salleen 18 inch wheels.
Trunk..what you can't see is the subframe connectors and the 31 spline Terminator IRS and Magna FLow exhaust. battery relocated.
4 cam aluminum Cobra motor with SCT tune, cold air intake, power pulleys, urethane mounts and a general cleanup, upper shock mounts.
Interior shots, pretty much stock with a roll bar and rear facing camera, short throw shifter
The outside..decided to add the Blacksheep-1 as that has been my sig on all the forums I've been on. Trying to pick up a few jobs working for race teams and HPDE guys.
