I NEED MORE COWBELL!!!

[@Sean-ps3ec]

The music while you guys worked was driving me nuts after the first episode.. I would have preferred to have just listened to you guys wrenching and cussing..... That's better music than the repetitive music that was playing....

[@JesseAndMike]

This is an awesome episode!

[@cjponyparts]

Thank you!

[@blunt3777]

Fucken Fantastic MUSIC SO LOUD I HAVE TO KEEP MUTING JUST TO WATCH THW VIDEO! THANKS GUYS

[@ExploreAnywhere]

Clean welds, and you guys have the right tools. We understand that you sell parts and use them in the video but would of been cool seeing you guys make your own aprons to cover up the holes

[@cjponyparts]

We actually don't even sell the Scott Rod panels, they are just priced right, fit well, and save time.

[@shiveringloon3596]

There is a BIG difference between restoring a car, and customizing it. You are now fully customizing a rare cobra. There is nostalgia in a factory engine bay. Everyone is smoothing out engine bays. It looks really good. But, not on a rare car that you are calling a restoration. I respect your decision of hood choice, but I completely disagree. Just making the car exactly what people have been doing to these cars for over 20 years. It has been way over done. But a clean factory car in concourse condition is worth more with these now collector cars. Missed opportunity in my opinion. It is just my opinion and you are free to disagree. I am not upset or really care what you do with this car as it is not mine. But, you knew someone was going to bitch about it.

[@cjponyparts]

I fully expected some blowback but in the end it is my car and my money. If it were a clean original car I never would have done any of this. Given the high mileage and multiple accident history of the car, any value in originality is long gone. The stock hood and stock front bumper are wrecked, had the stock hood been OK I would have stuck with it.

[@shiveringloon3596]

​@@cjponyparts I totally understand the originality stand point. I am a bit sensitive with rare cars. I knew some guys that found a brand new original 69 super bird that had never been sold. It was in a dealership's storage facility and it had no miles on it. Around 1990 they cut it up and turned it into a drag car. Just like a hemi car back in the 60's, even if it is fully restored back to like original condition. It is still an original hemi car. All in all I am a mustang fox body fan, and I like that you are working on one. It is fun to watch. Good luck on the project. I have a red 93 cobra with 32k original miles on it. It had a cowl hood when I bought it. It looks great, but I wish I had the original one.

[@TheCobraClone58]

You should do a wire tuck with all the wires and harnesses under the hood.

[@cjponyparts]

Still debating on my exact plan for wiring but have considered that.

[@MorbidThrasher666]

This video made my day plus its longer. Ironically im restoring my sunroof right now,it has light rust.

[@str8jktblahblahblah84]

I turned 17 on it's build date. Would of been a great birthday present.

[@stevehall6539]

This was a good episode , so much goodness packed into 10 minutes. Can't wait to see her done.

[@gokaisilver3801]

I'm so happy that this was longer. This is gonna look so good when its done.

[@cjponyparts]

GokaiSilver we are trying :)

[@gokaisilver3801]

@@cjponyparts and it is very appreciated. ^_^

[@PANTYEATR1]

April of 1993...i was in my 2nd year of HS. question, what bolts up to or through this holes that was covered up? strut tower bar? brake line brackets? wire harnesses?

[@cashmoneyv197436ify]

Why didn't you clean & put some kind of rust preventer under the panels instead of just welding to a dirty old panel! But I guess everyone does things differently where the clutch cable came through the fire wall u can't get a donor car in cut it out then just weld a fresh new piece of metal there! U guys have everything that car sould look like a new 93 Cobra Mustang went done!

[@BADD400]

The day I turned 23 April 16 1993

[@mikedambowic5862]

Bill ,cannot stand t tops or sunroof ,just more rust 2 deal with, i have a hard top. LUCKY ME.

[@cjponyparts]

I am indifferent to the sunroof but my wife loves it which helped me justify the purchase :)

[@mustanlab302]

Most have the build date on the glove box

[@93SVTMustang]

This has turned into quite a project! Removing the dash and wiring seems like a PITA.

[@cjponyparts]

It was but I am trying to do everything once and do it right hopefully.

[@setperspective]

Should have when with original plan. Unnecessary weight added on to the nose

[@cjponyparts]

At most it will only be a few pounds, the added power will easily compensate for it.

[@red2003xlt]

@@cjponyparts Hopefully you won't need any of those bolt holes you are covering up

[@roholl517]

Weld in a ttop roof. That would be bad ass.

[@cjponyparts]

That is one thing I would NEVER do, I had a T Top LX at one point and hated it lol

[@ctapmgriley]

Is that Bill's little brother?

[@cjponyparts]

J Riley might as well be

[@MonoPedB]

Why not fill just the holes? Lapping panels over panels with open holes behind them allows moisture in, and you have more rust.

[@cjponyparts]

Filling and welding all the holes is even more tedious and I am running out of time before it goes to the paint shop. The car will never be a daily driver again so I don't expect rust will be an issue.

[@mrderekholmberg]

Rock 'n' Roll

[@sethcorneal135]

Where did you get the sunroof?

[@cjponyparts]

A friend of mine had an extra one.

[@427walrus]

Can't wait to see what you do about the cowl and the crack in the firewall. My 92 is damaged the exact same way in both places.

[@cjponyparts]

The firewall is going to be a challenge for sure.

[@cashmoneyv197436ify]

I don't know why couldn't find a donor cut that part out of the fire wall then cut the bad part out of the Cobra weld in the patch panel!

[@marcusfulbright3876]

You guys should weld up all the unused holes

[@cjponyparts]

We will weld up anything we don't plan on using.

[@deadriseful]

it looks cool, yall going put a new a/c back in or going "race car" it?

[@cjponyparts]

Samuel Farance 100% street car so it will be getting AC

[@deadriseful]

@@cjponyparts Cool! you'll have to make a short video on that. There is not really any good videos on older Ford a/c systems.

[@cjponyparts]

Samuel Farance Classic Auto Air makes an update kit based on original components so that’s the plan

[@deadriseful]

@@cjponyparts oh cool! I just finished dealing with my factory unit. Replaced the 3 lines, springs, and o-rings. I'm probably putting classic's unit for my '72 Ven-ova (ventura+nova)

[@nissanbrown6144]

Put a,cayote in it the hell with dat slow 302

[@cjponyparts]

The 302 won't be slow when we are done :)

[@smbaker84]

"Cayote" is a 302...lol.

[@djwarren5081]

Now that you have decided not to keep it original I won't be watching any more. A big mistake as far as I am concerned.

[@Metlupass2]

You're an idiot.......

[@cjponyparts]

Sorry to hear that, there will still be a lot of good restoration videos coming. If the car was a nice original car I would not have done this, given its accident history and high mileage I wanted to make the finished product a little nicer than original.

[@djwarren5081]

@@cjponyparts Fair enough. I'm sure that she'll look superb when finished. Up to your usual high standards.
