Thanks...It my first stang. I used to work for the guy and watched the car be restored. Went home to visit and the guy offered it to me. knowing the history i couldnt pass it up.

In the short term i want to finish the interior up and add the front spoiler and rear window louvers.

Long term i want to rebuild the original block and put the car back to original condition. Everything on the car was done to restore it to original except the engine so once that's done its #'s matching throughout.

Couldnt talk the owner into any less that 17k...i thought it was worth it since i saw the car in bare metal and i know im not inheriting anyone elses problems.

Do any of you guys know What pieces should be in the kit to mount the front license plate bracket?

I founds some that just have the screws, nuts, and plastic insert thing. Other have the previous pieces and some sort of rattle preventer.
What do i need? The car is from a no front license plate state but i need both front and rear. Does anyone carry the bracket that is already painted?
