because the top came with the car when i bought it....and i dont want to put down another 169.00 for a glass window...plus all the shops i talked to recommended it over glass....and i don't want to start a debate over glass vs plastic...so lets leave it at that.

Cool man, good to hear its making progress. Plastic is better in some eways, like if your mom stores groceries in that top spot while the top is up, then she forgets about said groceries and when I go to put my top down the glass breaks, plastic doesn't lol

lol im taking it a certin someones mom has done this?


that what most shops have told me..that if your forget something back there that the plastic wont break like the glass would.unless you left something really big back there...

this guy dose really good work...im half tempted to find a set of beat down GT seats that still have good foam and such that need recovered and have him recover them in black tweed with some grey inserts maybe?

yeah org color...hopefully paint will go down withing a month or two....gotta free up the "booth" as we refer to it at my dads buddy's house...they have painted about 1,000 cars in the 2 car garage. been doing it since they were my age we got to clean it up first..has alot of parts scatted about at the moment....after its all painted were going to take all 3 of the mustangs...Todd's 88 hatch my 88 vert and my dads 86 vert and get some pictures of them together...

you let her drive YOUR stang...thats the first mistake!

Well see it was before I had my license. I had my permit though and she dropped me off at a friends house and she drove the car home and stopped for groceries.
