the car is in Tallahassee. Your suggestions for a reputable person to have a look at it is greatly appreciated.

I can't say for sure if he provides this type of service or even his proximity to Tallahassee for that matter, but when I hear Mustangs and Florida in the same sentence then the person I first think of is our own George (65fstbkhipo) . His website is www.floridamustang.com or you can IM him form here. At the very least he can probably reccomend a good local person to you.

Well, yes, but not the spelling. Maybe there is no "T" in it? try 65fsbkhipo instead or do a search for not exact match and just search for 65hipo, you should find him. he has an email contact on his website also.

EDIT: Yup it was the "T" that was a problem, here ya go: http://forums.stangnet.com/member.php?userid=17875

Note that it would appear that he has not been around much since the board wipe at least since it shows January as his last visit now. You may be waiting a while for an IM reply if that is the case. The email may be the best bet, just tell him you're a Stangnet memeber and I said maybe he could help you.

I found him under the advance search function using his homepage. I sent an email plus an IM. I hope it gets through. Thanks again.

Well Jerry, I was just in Florida not far from Tallahassee this past weekend, east of Pensecola. Of course, I'm not sure how reputable I am.

Nice Georgie, nice. Good for her! So how does it compare to the originals? I've always cringed at modding a brand new car personally but with the steal they got probably not. Any of those mods void the warranties?

BTW, I actually did go to your site and fill out my initial order, I just haven't emailed it to you yet. I know you've heard this before, but you can expect it this week. I finally bought a compressor and all my free minutes have been spent in the gargae tryying to finish the strip down to get to the body shop. Ain't gonna do me no good without the parts though.
