Looking good Dave. How soon do you think it will be before you get it back?

We should have a big Fox Mustang roundup one of these days. Seems like everyone that has more than two Mustangs has atleast one Fox Chassis pony.

FYI, you can still get TRX tires thru Coker Tire. Might be a wait before they run off a batch though.

The body wil be all done by Jan/Feb but the rest is up to me and money I'm hoping for Knott's??? Maybe we'll have to see!!!

[Jacostang]

I just ordered all the badges from 5.0 Resto under $75 for all of them!! But the decal kit is $450 big ones!!!

Do you have any more pics?

[Jacostang]

I can't remember what they were so heree is the last shots of the car, there has been more progress just not any new pics, but soon I hope!!

[Torchmach]

That's a lot of work to get the mesquite beans out!!!

Looks like it will be ready before the Fall '08 show though.

[Jacostang]

I'm talking complete resto!!! Should look pretty good when they are done with the paint, Dennis painted my black 89 Gt 8 years ago and it still looks great!! His dad tought him the trade and he's been painting for 22 years since he was 15!!!!

Nice project...

I just ordered all the badges from 5.0 Resto under $75 for all of them!! But the decal kit is $450 big ones!!! Have you bought the decal kit yet? If not, try Mustangs Unlimited they have a store in Manchester Ct. and another one in Georgia, I find their parts to be a little more reasonable. The phone number in Manchester is ( 860-647-1965 ). Web site, Mustangs Unlimited.com when your on their site you'll see both numbers on their home page. Mike D. ITLRUN:twothumbsup:

Thanks, there is Phoenix Grafix here in Gilbert that can make me the entire decal kit for $399 when I'm ready. They said not to order it too soon as the decals here in the desert tend to dry out fast when just sitting.
