21 December 2007 - I picked-up the 1968½ Mustang Cobra Jet transverse mufflers today.  They look AMAZING!  I still need to cut the inlet and outlet pipes to the correct length, add the alignment notches to the inlet pipes, and add the spot welds to the inlet and outlet pipes.  When the mufflers are finished they will be virtually indistinguishable from the originals.

The floor pan plugs for 1967 & 1968 Mustang and Shelby convertibles are at the platers.  Unfortunately they are closed for Christmas and New Years after today and they did not get them plated.  They promised to have them waiting for me to pick them up on January 8th, 2008. 

6 December 2007 - The floor pan plugs for 1967 & 1968 Mustang and Shelby convertibles have been formed from the blanks.  The above pictures show a comparison between the new reproductions and an original floor pan plug removed from a Shelby GT500KR convertible.  Both pan plugs in the pictures above have had the plating removed.  The new reproductions are absolutely perfect and indistinguishable from the originals.  Even the back side of the plug has been fabricated and formed to exactly match the original pan plug...even though you can't see it when installed.  Final plating still needs to be done, but they should be available by the end of the year. 

1 December 2007 - The muffler sheets have been stamped and are ready to send to the muffler manufacturer.  The stamping of the Ford logo, part number, and date were "toned-down" slightly from the previous sample stampings to closer match the look of the original mufflers.  Click here to see the final "toned-down" stamping.
