Oh trust me I'd never call you a hoarder! Not with that fine collection of man stuff!
Waiting on parts is a drag.
I got the old master out and new one mocked up with the MMBAK-17 kit also gutted the prop valve, installed the manual prop valve and got the C/C plates in place. Nothing exciting or really picture worthy because underhood makes baby jesus cry.
I will bench bleed the new master and mount it for real this weekend other than that I cant do too much until the new arms show up.
Underhood needs some work boys.

Did I mention waiting on parts is a drag?
These are going back on the 93 and the 98 Cobras will live on the 85.

I think I like it better with the 98 Cobra wheels.
The TF wheels look better on the 93

IMO finding the right wheels for a 4-eye is tough to do. A lot of wheels that look good on the aero cars look "too modern" on the 4 eyes. Those Cobras look pretty good.
18" CCW Classics... For some reason I love mesh style wheels on 4 eyes. I thought the 98's were going on that Mercury/Lincoln (whatever it is)?
The Grand Marquis has been sold off, I will be using the 98 Cobra wheels for now. I "like" them on there but cant say I am in love with them on there. With that said I have them and I am about $3000 deep into this suspension/5lug swap so I will be using them for now.
Adds up so damn fast.

You're a brave man keeping track of the spend. I started doing that, got to about 3k and stopped. I just don't want to know. It's kinda like when my wife buys shoes....she never tells me how much they were, only what percent off they were. Me: "how much were those shoes? Her: " they were 30% off. So, she essentially told me nothing..... I love the car. And I agree on the cobra wheels looking good on there!
