Thanks for the compliments guys. I really love the way it is looking. The guys that did the paint told my wife to try and get me to leave it as is because they like the look (sans GT stripes, emblems, scoops). I told them I like the old school look and I think the GT stripes make it look a little lower. So after a few months, it'll be back for them to put them on.
My wife is picking up some LED taillights hopefully Tuesday, and I'm going to talk her through installing them over Skype, along with the new lenses and bezels that already came in the mail.
Just when I thought I was done with paint shops for a few months, she hit a cement pillar in my new truck, so she'll be dealing with getting that fixed next week too, but at least she has the Stang to drive while the new truck is in the shop! Gotta get the new motor and trans a bit more broken in for me when I come home at the end of June!

Have you read the bill, or just get your "news" from MSNBC? I am taking my family to Arizona this summer just to support the economy there. Thanks for the kind words about my car, but the idea that the Arizona law tramples anyone's civil rights is ignorant... If your statement was made in jest, I apologize. If not, you are out of line and need to learn to think for yourself.

. I am what you might call an "American traditionalist", and one of the few native born Arizonans from my era.... 
And I still like your car...
I was perplexed by rmodels remark, I didn't think he was talking AZ, but I thought it might make for interesting conversation.

Alright, as long as we got that hammered out... I used to live in Sierra Vista, AZ and still have a lot of friends/family there. My wife actually wants to move back there someday. We are debating whether or not we will take the Stang with us this summer, as there is not A/C in it yet... Though a trip to the Grand Canyon in late July might help persuade my finance manager to let me do it...

finally home!
The wife finally brought the Stang home yesterday... she had been waiting for a dry day to pick it up so she wouldn't get water spots on the fresh paint and the taillights weren't working so she had to get some new housings and pigtails...
