That makes my day, hail to the truckers, The have the best luck with hot rodding of anyone. The best ways to find deals are to cover ground. Someone should buy that and bring her back to glory! if i didnt have 3 cars already i would like THAT!!

Well here are pics of one of em, I just scored it a few days ago.  It needs some brake work and a drivers seat (the guy lost $$$ in it and tore the DS apart).  We spent today cleaning the body....

Agreed, but let's just say it's "cosmetically challenged". It looks like it could be a classy car, but it looks like something my grandmother would drive. I'm not saying I wouldn't consider buying one, I'm just saying it wouldn't strike fear in my heart if I lined up next to it at a stoplight. lol.

WHY the hell did they do that with the soft top? Material restriction? I don't know if those are something that tend to be farmed out...? Or did they intend to just suffocate the quarter window? :toilet: I don't see why they couldn't have followed the lower edge of the window...I think that would look  decent!

Yeah i really agree, choking off the 1/4 windows really kills the look of the car.  Its ugly, but its kinda cool at the same time.  With the blistering 3.8 under the hood its not gonna win any stoplight drags.  We're gonna thrash on it over the winter and hopefully have it ready for a showing at Fords @ Carlisle '10.

Well they're trying to mimmic convertibles and if the car was a true vert, it wouldn't have the regular style windows anyway. Also, actually I think if they did that it would kinda make the soft top portion look like hair with elvis style sideburns.

Okay that's kinda what I figured. :D And good point about the Elvis sideburn effect :rollin: Still not bad, and jandmmustangs yours is extremely clean, take care of her!

Will do guys.  I just hope i can find a gray seat this coming weekend. 

I dunno what he was doing.  I know he did some landscaping and .  He never did tell me if he found the $$$ in the car.  That could be a nice suprise.
