I am looking at doing them over the winter months. Found them for $225 at a ford dealer but on backorder 4 to 6 weeks.. Looks like #Honeybadger had his painted.

For the black windshield bottle neck I used 60mm heat shrink tubing with a heat gun. Worked awesome. Left the top long where the cap goes and cut it even after shrinking it. Used maybe 12-14" of it to go down as far as I could on the neck. You can barely see the very bottom of the neck in the photo below.

LMAO that damn windshield bottle neck sure is an ugly mess. Blacked it out also using a different method

.......... good thinking

I can't take credit for the idea. It was @Niz55 that posted about it in the following post.

With all of the machined surfaces i would not powder coat them because of the coating thickness. I would anodize. I would search google as I am sure you could find an aluminum plater in your area.

Did some minor color additions. Still have few more things I want do...maybe this winter.

Decided to black out the windshiekd washer tank and change radiator plate color.

I also purchased the Shelby fuse box cover - awaiting to be installed. Thanks @sox3 for making me spend more! Also, I did not see the Anchor plaque available with the Shelby Cobra icon? Mine is the Voodoo icon.

What method did you use for the washer tank?
Did you have any issues getting the Shelby coolant tank cap on with the tank cover on? It looks like I will need to trim the tank cover for the cap to sit all the way down.

Sorry I am costing you some bucks,, lol.. it will be worth it though.
If you go to the anchorroom site and send an email mail to Wayne. He will make it any way you want it. From what I understand they cannot advertise it.

Ordered the 60mm heat shrink tubing (amazon) for thr upper piece, the lower tank I painted with a foam brush and small artist brush. Used plastic prep on it first and then a semi gloss enamel.
As for the coolant tank cap. That machined cap is attached to the original cap with 3m double side tape. Had to make a spacer placed between the two caps to rise it. Did not want to cut the cover.

I tried putting more 3M tape to rise it up but then the hood wouldn't close. I noticed there was already an indentation in the hood liner from the stock cap actually. I might need some work to get it to work right.

 

[sox3]

Mine clears the hood fine. Not sure why yours does not. Stock cap should have plenty of room I would think.

@ADDGAMER Adam...how'd you do the plate on top of your strut tower brace?
