Welcome to stangnet.
Look around our '79-'95 subforums, you'll find lots of information there to help you.
Post a new thread in the general talk forum concerning your plans. We have a really good group of gearheads that I'm sure will be able to help you out.
I can help with anything as far as paint and body.
Post a couple pictures too, we're picture whores here and love to see them.
Good to have you with us.
