Winter project thread 06

Mostly cosmetic parts this winter unfortunately but at least insurance is paying for most of it. I got cut off on 8th street on cruise weekend and did some damage to my hood and front bumper. I thought I'd switch it up a bit and go with an 03 cobra bumper and cervini cobra R hood. I can't decide to leave the hood white or paint the center black. I've seen a few cars with the hood painted from the edge of the grill opening following the lines up and think it would look decent in maybe a semi-gloss black. Anybody got any ideas or pics?
I got a good price on an aluminum block also but it will probably be furniture until next winter. Cheers, Ryan.

I have my Mach 1 hood painted that way.
 
I'm not 100% sure what I have planned. I'm definitely considering ripping out the rest of my Mach 460 and doing up a new system.

I was also thinking about doing some suspension stuff (i.e. - Shocks, struts, UCA, LCA). What's the general opinion on coil-over? Besides getting the actual kit what else might I need? Also with coil-over can you still use your stock A-arms, UCA and LCA? Lastly is it worth it on a street car like mine? Or should I just get some new rear control arms and call it a day? And if I do end up going this route anyone want to buy a set of H&R SS Springs?! :)

Hey I know this guy (AKA me!) that has a complete set of 04 Mustang GT brakes if you're wanting to go that route!
Thanks, but I parted out an 88 Turbo Coupe a while back and I was just planning on using the front brakes from that.It has to be an improvement over the 4 cyl brakes I have now.
