Default Shotgun Customs?????

Anybody ever heard of Shotgun Customs and what type of mods they did to mustangs besides the ground effects packages? I bought a 1990 LX 5.0 about a year ago and it has a Shotgun Custom sticker on the deck lid and a Boss Fuel Injected 302 sticker on the deck lid. A Shotgun Customs plaque on the dash and number plate under the hood. I can not seem to find much information on them they are out of business. Here are a few pictures of it.
Any information would be helpful. Thank You.

Probly all just body work, and decals. Most likely looked like this at one time and someone removed the rear spoiler and body kit. As far as the boss sticker, I doubt they find a 302 boss to put in them. My buddy searched for 2 years for a boss 302 before he actually found one.

I know the block and heads have been painted blue. It also has after market shorty headers on it. I have not tried looking for numbers on the block yet but i guess i need to. I know when i did the plugs the stock plugs would not fit i had to get the same as what was in it before. I have another post about the spark plug problems on the forum labeled as head identification help. MJR46 you also helped me with that post. Here is a picture of the head and header on the passenger side and the plaque under the hood.
