Fitz,

Could you send me some shots of your top and windshield reinforcements please. (jwalsh21@ix.netcom.com)

Turns out my windshield is beginning to pull out of the frame.

I would imagine with a FFR, that all the Mustang pieces would fit.

Noting the roasted toasties complaints of original Cobras, I double face aluminum padded under the carped from the dash to the firewall, single face aluminum padded under the carpet from the dash back, and ceramic coated the headers inside and out. No roasted toasties from 1,400 deg headers a few inches from my feet. Footwells don't even get warm. But I do need the heater in the winter and fall.

Excalibers (Classic Roadsters replicas) had AC as a factory option, and there is room to fit all the pieces. Retrofitting would be more difficult than had I installed it during the build, but stuck in rush hour traffic on a July or August afternoon with the temp and humidity hovering around 100, I think, time to upgrade to AC. Yeah, the purists will laugh, but it's my sweat, not theirs.
