I'm looking foward to seeing how the tungston grey looks when the car is finished. It's coming along nicely.

Nice find! I'm assuming you got it cheap coming out of the junkyard. Did you get the T-Top glass with the car? T-Top Stangs are sweet! I am assuming you are keeping it a 4 eye...correct?

 

[RsStanG1987]

Im keeping it 4eye except im going with the 86 gt stuff.. I hate the 83& 84 front end.. I got the 86 stuff cheap so ill run with it.. My dad did the spraying i did the prep.. The t-top glass was coming with the car but the guy dropped it and broke them in front of me 2 years ago.. I ended up getting a set last year at Carlisle for 10 bucks and found another set in the trash at carlilse this year so i got 1 set for 10 and 1 set free

Not bad but i need new struts the 86 ones i have will not bolt up.. the hardest parts was breaking all the rusted bolts on the struts.. once the car is painted i will be getting my rims and tires put on..

what happen to your other stang?

Wich one? The silver and black metallic 87? or the blue t-top one? Either way i sold bot due t financial situations.. The silver and black one i regret selling everyday of my life..

OMG you're changing the bumpers?! but that'd be changing the identity!

anyways, it's coming along nicely man. that silver looks good, can't wait to see the whole car painted! good job!
