Suspension and underside...

The interior when I got it was race-car bare, which is just what the original builder wanted.

But I wanted to dress it up a bit, so I moved the Raydots to the windshield pillars and added a street rearview mirror. I also installed the grab handle that came with the car, as well as the tonneau pins. The "AC" steering wheel emblem I found on eBay, and I also got sun visors and wind wings for the car. The finishing touches were the dash plaque and the shift knob.

After reading on these forums about other ERA owners painting their spare tire trays black, I decided to do that as well. I also got a California-retro license plate for the car, and installed the bungee-cord holders.

When dressing up the interior, I also put on the hood and trunk Cobra emblems, and the "Powered by Ford" fender badges.

Most recently, I decided to paint the footboxes black. This wouldn't be an issue for a street-interior with black carpet, but with the bare interior it looks completely different.
