      I'll post some good pics when I take some , haha . I really didn't have to cut up the Shelby valance that much . It's pretty much a flat piece compared to the Cougar valance which curves around on the ends . Yes I've test fit the lenses and they look great , pics to follow .

      Here's the header that won't co-operate with the steering shaft . The green tape shows the path of the shaft , I ordered a couple of stainless U-J bends from Summit that should help get the job done , should be a challenge .

      Since I've had my head in the engine bay trying to figure out how to modify this header , I've been thinking about the brake master cylinder / booster combo and which way I should go . I stumbled across this option , what are your thoughts ?

      If you can fab the mounts, a dual mc manual setup will work great.

      The rack was included in the TCI front suspension package

      The link below is the mounting plate that I grafted into my firewall for mounting the Wildwood setup. Obviously you can cut off the extra clutch hole and fab this piece in. The same Pedal setup for cheaper is in the link in that other thread you saw, and you can choose your master cylinder bore size during checkout while ordering online or just calling in the order might be easier.

      Here's the plate if you are interested:

      10 days ago I ordered an Borgeson double u-joint from Jegs for the steering column . Hoping that it might help fix my problem . FedEx delivered it today ............ correct part ordered , wrong part sent !

      Well Summit sent me the correct u-joint but it turns out that I don't need it after all , it's only money . I did manage to finish modifying the driver side header to clear the steering shaft. I ordered a couple of stainless j-bends from Summit. I learned a lot along the way , like back-gasing when tig welding stainless. Here's how it turned out , it looks like the lower pipe goes everywhere in the picture but it looks a lot better in your hands.

      It's been a while since I've updated here. I've modified ( smoothed ) the firewall for the second time , I wasn't really happy with the looks of the first attempt. I've also finished with the rear valance mods , very happy with the outcome.

      Here you go Chev , that's a ridetech fuel door . That bumper still needs to be tweaked ( a lot ).

      I spent the afternoon installing a Electric-life power trunk release kit and aligning the trunk lid . The trunk lid seems to be a bit high in the centre , so some time with a BFH and 12" 2x4 was in order . Fits better now .

      Thanks Chev .
      I thought that I would close up the gap between the trunk lid and the filler panel , much better now.

      Thanks Zanie ,

      I've moved from the back to the front . I've shaved the cowl and continued smoothing out the firewall .
