Not a Mustang-specific video, but it's well-prioritized nonetheless. It does seem to be geared toward used cars, which is appropriate for most viewers, but it's still applicable for everyone.
There can be a bit of overlap between steps, especially if the initial inspection reveals the need for replacement of certain parts. For example, the need for a brake job might accelerate plans for that particular upgrade. It's good to get a plan together early on, though. There might be other things you'll want to address before reassembly...
As for Mustang mods, one thing that wasn't mentioned is chassis rigidity. Subframe connectors are especially important on the old Fox-bodies. Of course, you'll have to go even further if building an off-road/race car...
At any rate, I'm pleased to see power upgrades are LAST on the list, as they should be.
