living in a non inspection state that doesnt worry me too much. I do have a vert though and a lot of the rubber, fasteners, and other misc items for the top have been out of production for over 10 years now. I am at the mercy of the JY and teh 'bay so you can guess the condition of those items.
I don't see it being a problem out where I'm living right now for at least another 10 years. The only thing not available locally are new rubber parts (weatherstripping and the like) and that can always be had from places like 50resto and such. The rest is exempt from the effects of rust and corrosion out here in the desert, and I've always been able to walk into my local podunk junkyard and find what I'm looking for 9 times outta 10. Hell, there's even TWO Capris sitting in there with front-ends begging to be reclaimed and transplanted onto Frankenstang's car.
If any of you need fox parts...PM me. I have saved a lot of stuff over the last 8 years, and I constantly buy new ones for parts. I am somebody you can trust using PayPal and UPS with. Ask 1990Coupe. I sent him stuff twice. My Dad bought the place in 1990, I have worked there since 1997, and I've been on SN since 2001. I'm not going anywhere. I'll take care of a fellow member.
Texas has more Mustang parts than Chevys??? Chevys in Texas is huge. I look at their auction lists and they out number every other car.
It's probably just in my little area here. Mustangs are EVERYWHERE! Up here around lake texoma area.
