I've been thinking about the direction that I want to go with this one... so far here's what I got... blacked out center of hood, mirror, door posts and the louvers around the quarter windows, black '70 boss style spoiler, '79 cobra hood scoop, maybe a 289 switch?

Also, anyone know how to tune the idle down, its at 1100 right now...

traded it for this, the 'stang only has half the miles on it, and, most importantly, is carbuerated... :w00t:

Yeah, but its 16 years older. And I really liked that paint job on your Thunderbird.

Could you post pic of your 1980 Mustang?

I don't think it should have a body kit on it at all.

Nice looking car. It looks to be well optioned. What do the seats look like under the seat covers? Are they all vinyl or cloth/vinyl? The steering wheel looks very different from the one in my car, is it stock? Mine is the same colour as the rest of the interior with the Mustang logo in the centre.

the seat are all vinyl, the front seats have never been seat in with out a cover, since they've been reupholstered at least

I believe the steering wheel is aftermarket, should it have cruise control?

I thought that looked like a cruise control servo under the hood, so it does seem well optioned for a Mustang. It looks to be a nice, rust free car, so enjoy it! How did you find it?
