just got it back up and running because of a battery issue and got a quote from transporting company to get it down to tampa and its cheaper then driving down there with it so i can rebuild with my dad to get the father son mustang rebuild going on.....just gotta wait till doctors app. to really see what to do....been thinking about the color scheme thinking bout the regular blue and white racing stripes....im up for some good color schemes for it just not to pricey....thinking bout keeping it to fast for paint and redo the car in primer black it needs all the way around...

sry i havent made anything on reports or anything pc was down.....been trying to get it working with no problems but i got it going with no problems except now i worried about my frame as i go down the road of rebuilding the car i really want to keep it because its got a good body for being 30 yrs old and not in that bad of shape even for being here in toledo with the snow,salt,rain all that good erosion just the frame looks like hell but i only need fixed in a couple of areas....i thought about cutting out that bad spots and tubeing the frame at the area....
