Hello,

The 1968 Mustang my dad has been working on for the past 10 years, in New Mexico, is almost to the finish line! The car should be coming to me, in California, mid-March.

Currently, what has been ordered and what is being worked on is...
  • New tires
  • Remove the V8 springs in the front and replace them with the I6 springs
  • Front and rear bumper - can anyone tell if the front bumper need brackets?
  • Arm Rests
  • Front Grille Clips

I am not very experienced when it comes to cars, especially classic ones. Is there anything I need to be on the lookout for/ prepared for when this car comes in a couple months?

Also, what clips if any do I need for the trunk chrome trim? Pictured below.

Sorry in advance for the sideways pictures.
