Yes, I can spot the original parts! Not sure you want me to say though!
They look great!

I'm going to ask this because I don't know much about Cobra 427's! Are the clear front turn signal indicators correct for an SC?

I believe that they should be orange. But then, what do I know?

Well that’s a great question.
It’s my understanding that the US market did get amber lenses but we are talking early cars. (which was a bit of a crap shoot)
Some came with FIA mags and sometimes both FIA/Halibrands mixed.
I can find examples both ways in vintage pics, trouble loading at this moment.
Many are taped up in racing pictures so it's hard to tell.
Photos are poor quality, after damage some lost the blinker all together.
???
From what I know it was a mixed bag on lense color even with 289 cars.
Cannot seems to upload more pics, i'll try later...
3002 - Clear
3003 - Clear
3006 - Clear now amber
3009 - Amber
3021 - Amber
3028 - Clear
3029 - Clear now...
3045 - Clear

Updates as to what’s been up.
SAAC took a week, nothing got done there.
First I pulled front end apart as there was some issues occurring.
New Rotors, hardware and grease on both sides.
The pedal “cover” was at some point reinstalled upside down and the appearance not my flavor so I made a new one.
Reassembly this weekend then finish intake gasket replacement.
Then hoping to drive it like I stole it.
At least until my next update. 😄

My car made its debut at SAAC in 2019 with a 427 (482) in front, so not me.

Kevin
Didn't Acton put a 390FE in it before you owned it?

Fire in the hole.
Started the car today after a refresh of the top.
Added VC from early car my friend Jack owned.
Added PCV and breather
New intake gaskets, bunch of little stuff.
Couple little stuff left but now it’s time to drive it.
Tomorrow heat cycle drive.....
After Re-torque we may be good.

Sounds way better as well.
