awesome! Could you get a pic of the steering wheel? I've been thinking about changing mine, but wanted to see a good pic of one.

Some new pics
Taking care of some maintenance issues right now. The car was previously used on road courses and the wheel bearings are announcing it. Doing the front hubs right, then I'll move to the rear axle. I may take the opportunity to switch the 3.73's for 4.10's. Oh, and I have an O/R H-pipe inbound for it as well

Very cool Matt. Where do you guys meet up on Thursday nights? I get off work at 8:30 on Thursday not too far from your place and I'd like to come out if you wouldn't mind another Mustang.

That is a great find. And isn't it a 4.6. If so don't be shy with the gear. I went with 3.90s in my 2000 gt and it was like 2 different cars. If it's an auto 4.10s for sure
