Finally, it's here.

My Mustang was delivered on March 30, 2005.
Tried to post earlier, but home phone down due to lightning strike.

WOW! This lttle Ford exceeds my expectations. Looks like the assembly process may be improving. No problems filling up fuel tank, no windshield cracks, no popping/clicking in front suspension. When the car was on the lift, I noticed that the bell housing inspection plate did not have the two holes where bolts were missing in earlier reports. No bolts or holes, must be a newer style plate.

Obligatory photos:

The message center is great. It has more features than I expected. Very similar, if not exactly, like the one in my wife's 05 Escape.

Thanks to all for the nanners and comments.
What do ya think of the shorty billet antenna?
I'm considering powder coating it black, but will wait a few weeks and see.

Congrats guy! I love that interior! With all the time that I've had waiting for mine, I've been seriously thinking about switching to parchment.
