Been following your built, you did a great job and that must have been great satisfaction when it fired up.

I have a couple questions:

1. Is that a 2010+ wiper cowl you are using? What's the reason behind putting it on? (just curious)

2. What things did you have to splice in?

3. Any difficulty with the taillights and headlight/turn signals?

It's a 05 wiper cowl. I had to use aftermarket hids and the rear tailights I bought led bulb to go in stock harness then wired to 05 tailights. I had to cut seat belt connectors and use 05 then the seats since I'm using 08 seats and in still messing with power windows but the rest was just swapped

2005 GT doors on the inside with the 2011 dashboard, right? Looks good.

Thank you waiting on the new 2011 abs module I bought one for a 2011 and it didn't come with fittings that screw into the abs module I thought I could buy a couple new fittings wrong. Ford now uses 10m x 1.5 a very hard to find inverted fitting so I bought a 11gt500 with the fitting screwed into it. So for future if doing this swap you need to change all the lines or get one with the fittings I'm going to cut my lines and double flair my lines.

New doors installed I reused the locks and door sensors. Had to install new endow motors. You have to drill out the holes on 2011 motor but easy since they are plastic
