It's a false 427 Comp Racing battery to draw the eye away from the Trans tunnel trussing... The real battery is under the trunk panel just above the IRS unit.

Great build.
Just saw this, do you have other pics of the build?
Could you tell me where you found the turkey pan. Did you change the angle of the rad?

Thanks,
Achi

I have hundreds of Pics. The Rad is a Shelby Cobra rad (Like the original in 65 but an extra core). The angle is completely different that FFR. It requires the original pipes, Expansion Tank, etc... Acton Cobra has all of those parts. The turkey pan came from Finishline.

Thanks for the reply, I was curious re the turkey pan as in the Finishline ad it states it is functional and I have heard some horror stories about what people have received. Glad to know what it really looks like. Re the rad, (it looks great btw) did it take much to change the angle and and additional brackets to fit?

Cheers,
Achi

Nothing out of the world. Some metal fab and welding.
