Sorry, but gotta be honest. All that overspray looks horrible. Plus you did all that work to fill holes, but skip the biggest one, the stock air box hole? Also, with all that wire hiding, hole filing, I can only assume you want a nice, clean, simply look. Why mess things up with having the MSD in there? Mount it under the drivers seat, or in the glovebox.
And this is my favorite post. -------- Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not everyone should share all of the time. I appreciate constructive criticism as much as the next guy, and believe that it can be just that , constructive. However to tell someone that is a fellow enthusiast that their labor of love “looks horrible” is a lot harsh.
I started with a neglected cobra, and am in the process of turning it into something I can be proud of. I did not slap down a couple of grand and hand the project over to some professional. I did everything myself with no, (that means none) prior experience.
This is a progress thread, indicating that I am far from done. If you see some horrible overspray on some wires keep in mind that all will be rewrapped and or under the engine, so that you will not be able to see it.
As far as your other observations .
The MSD is placed where it is to be practical, it has an adjustment knob on the bottom of it to adjust the timing for my boost controller. I had my old MSD mounted inside the fender and learned from trial and error that it was not the best place for it.
As far as “skipping the biggest hole” when smoothing the engine bay. It was not an oversight or a lack of interest I left the intake hole because there is going to be a big fat supercharger intake pipe sticking in that hole.
I do appreciate everyone’s input and I enjoy reading everyone’s experiences with their stangs. Please keep up the posting as will I , even if some out there have absolutely no tact when sharing their opinions
