Cervini hood install progress PICS

[justice]

Wanted something different for my cobra. I am very pleased with the results

Very poor factory alignment from Ford required shaving the Cervini almost 1/4" at the drivers side by the windshield

Needed to remove 1/2" from bumper horns. THey will be filled and painted.

Final alignment

Ready for paint

Did a new centerforce clutch, shocks, springs and fuel pumps while I was at it.:burnout:.

Looks good! I'm not sure on having to shave the bumper like that. Was this not for a Cobra?

I still like the stocker the best but this is a very close second. :beer:

That hood looks great! Give some updated outside pictures when you get it painted.

Looks good, should have done the head cooling mod if you haven't yet.

What do you mean poor alighnment by ford from the factory? I bought a couple hoods from cervini's and other hood manufacturers and NONE of them fit perfect 100%. The hoods i bought for my old 5.0 always need work from a body shop to fit right.

My Cervinis hood had the same fitment issues. I'd be more inclined to blame Cervinis than Ford, since my factory hood fit fine. The shop that did the installation didn't fix it, and the hood ended up cracking the cowl panel.

My Ford Racing 00R hood fit perfectly. Kaenan hoods fit perfectly.

I forget who made my Ford racing. I'm thinking it mighta been Cervini's.

The right front fender has a 1/8" gap near the cowl. Ther left has 1/2" in the same location.
This is just poor assembly, plain and simple.
It has dozens of shims all over.
Don't get me wrong, I accepted the car as it is. Assembly line quality.
Still wouldn't trade it for anything out there.
