Congrats,
I got the same stuff from LM, the rear sway bar is a PIA, instructions suck, support worse and check the ball joint covers for pin holes, took them 6 months to get me a new one. Everything else was great. Could not find a center link any where except MustangsPlus.
You'll be busy.......

Got some pics...
My son doing the dirty work. You can see the rear disks on in this one too.


Here he is welding on the new skin


New quarter and trunk lid on.


New MC and booster on


New Dizzy on. We had to get a new carb. The power valve was blown on that one so I got a new Holley 1850 for it.

It sounds like you've got some good parenting skills going for you. My son is 30 now, but we did a 65 short bed pickup starting when he was 14 or 15. It was one of the best things I ever did for/with him. I also did lots of car work with my daughter who is now 26.

Both of them turned out to be great kids and I don't think the time we spent together hurt anything. I like to think it's a big part of the cause of their turning out to be good human beings. What's the old saying... "the family that plays together, stays together?"
