Thanks for the welcome, guys. Sorry if I was too defensive in my first posts.

I have been mostly a vintage musclecar guy, mainly mopars and a few fords. I have read and heard a lot of folklore about the 427 Cobras, but only in the last few years did I think I might be able to get one someday. I really need to study up more on the history of the car, and what people here find to be the best setups for the car.

It is apparent that my car is coming to me with tires that are scorned here. What is the issue with these ones, and which tires are preferred and why?

I do plan on removing the roundels/numbers.

As far as the bumpers, can these chrome pieces just be unbolted, and then will it look correct? Or are there different pieces altogether that are supposed to be there?

A lot of work has been done to the car over the past 8 months, but obviously there is more to do. What other glaring errors do others here see, that I might want to address?

Th car has the original-style Girling brakes. Would anybody favor leaving them, or is changing them to Wilwood or Baer or something be a no-brainer? Keep in mind, I am used to crappy brakes in my old cars and this doesn't bother me. When I want to go fast, stop fast, turn fast, etc I just take out a different car.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
