Glad they'll be helpful. I think those came from the Early Cobra website- I don't remember the address (earlycobra.com?) but it's been down for several months, and I think there are intentions to get it back up or move it, but I don't know when or if that's going to happen for sure.

www.foureyedpride.com is a good source of photos and information too. I don't have any chassis/floorpan pics, but I know on my 1991 Mustang, the center is still bare primer, and there's overspray part-way in from the edges, but I don't remember exactly how far. The K-member is body color, front A-arms are black, rear end is black, and the driveshaft is steel (surface rust on mine), although an aluminum driveshaft is a common upgrade. The rear control arms are also black.

Also, check out our somewhat-stagnant FoxBody community build:

Looking forward to seeing your progress with this one.

Thanks for the info Eric. I went thru the sites and found some info that was helpful. I will check out the earlycobra site also. I found a judging list on Mustang Club of America that has guided me some. I tried doing overspray but it didn't do well, so resprayed floor pan. Planning on posting pix of the build later.
