Re: matsng's Mustang project
Just got back from the paint shop. New Green (Highland Green)
Still needs color sanding and buffing but I'm looking forward to getting it home for reassembly.

Re: matsng's Mustang project
Now that the Mustang is home from paint I've been able to make a little progress on it's assy. I've lowered the rear and plan to install a little taller tire in the next couple of weeks.
I want to have the windows tinted. Anybody have a Ventura county source for a guy on a budget?
I'll post an update on the Cobra soon.

Re: matsng's Mustang project
The coupe is just about done. I should have the door seals in tonight and maybe even the heaterbox. Should be ready to take to the office soon.
