Default Pics finally....

I've been posting here for awhile. I finally got some pictures of my Mustang to post. I bought this car in 1971 while I was in high school. To make a long story short, it's been in the family since then. From 1982 until July 2006 it was stored under cover in a garage and only driven enough to keep it from dying of neglect. I July 2006 it was given back to me. I got it back with a rebuilt 302 and rebuilt C-4, a very nice paint job, new vinyl roof, mostly new interior. Since I've had it has received a new CD player 4 speakers and an amp, an alarm with remote power locks, all new front suspension and steering, KYB shocks, new larger front sway bar and a rear sway bar. I've added a steel divider between the trunk and passenger area. Dynamat like insulation under and behind the rear seat, package shelf and the trunk. Dynamat in the doors. Most recently a single wire Powermaster 100 amp alternator. Much more to come as time and budget, mostly budget, allows. This site has been very helpful in learning about my "new" toy.

Thanks.....but the rims are probable the worst part of the car, they have some rust and cracking chrome. In high school I had "daisys" on it. The Magnum 500's were put on it before I got the car back. I suspect they must have been used rims when they were put on as the car didnt see any rain for about 1982 to 2006.
