How nice.  Very neat garage.  I wish mine was.  I'm currently taking an 86 apart for repaint and heater core replacement.

I usually lay on a rug similar to that when I'm under the car.Makes the labor a lot more acceptable.

No it does cut it, shirts...your back.

I work in the grass now, I use plastic ramps and a base made out of 2x6s to put jackstands on.

What are you running for springs?  The Bullitt's look awesome on there.  That is part of my winter plans...I plan to swap to 5 lug and getting some Bullitts.

What K member are you using?  Did you have to shim it at all?

You are running 1990 4cylinder Mustang springs?  Front AND Rear?  They drove the car LESS than 94-04 Mustang GT springs?

Looking great!  Keep up the work.

That silver bird is gonna shape up really well. I really like the Bullit wheels on it as well. They look natural on there. I have those wheels in silver on my 08 Mustang but I do like the gunmetal gray much better.
 
Gotta change the center caps though! One of my peeves is for someone to use a Mustang pony emblem cap on a Tbird. Any of the standard Ford blue oval emblem caps used on the same wheels will work. There are also some different style and plain ones available at http://www.americanmuscle.com/capsnspiners.html
 
Standard silver Mustang cap below can easily be painted gray as well. Those are a dime a dozen since it is popular for Mustangers to swap them out for pony caps.

On the Ford Blue Oval caps? Yes that would look cool painting the center gunmetal gray and leaving the outer ring silver.
 
I examined my existing pony caps and it also looks like the pony center insert will come straight out. However, I have no idea what the surface looks like underneath but I m sure if you just buy the Blue Oval caps, you could put the pony caps intact on eBay and sell them for more than the Blue Oval caps are worth.
 
Also, if you are into spinners, you can find Mustang spinner caps with the Blue Oval emblem on eBay.
