Not sure what I'm going to do yet, even it I will sell it. I'll probably keep my '70 though.

I was in the same mentality last week. I drove a few cars, and did not fall in love with anything that I thought might make me do it. So the next day I ordered my new wheels and grille

I'm in a really ****ed up place. I'd like to keep all my Mustangs, but I'd have to build on to the house to have the space to do it. I'm not like Gary, unfortunately, I just don't have the space. I just need something I can use but I don't want to throw away what I have and If I buy something new it needs a place to stay inside, I just can't spend 50K on something and let it sit outside. Not to mention the insurance on all these cars.
I'm at the point that I need the garage space to put a new car, plus I need to be able to drive and use some of this stuff that I'm paying insurance on.

I'm already paying insurance on 5 cars (was 6 but I sold one recently) and 2 of them basically sit and are never driven. That's a lot of money pissed away.

I totally hear ya. Insurance sure isn't cheap. And it seems it goes up every year anyways. (For reasons we won't discuss here to highjack the thread, but it's ****ing asinine.)
Good luck man!

You can really see a difference between DIB and Kona in above picture.

Btw, i had the lettering style corrected on my GT side decals. Now it looks more natural, matching the font used on the faux gas cap on back.

Yes,....you can really see the difference in the 2 color blues Darren.
Car looks great. The rocker "GT" lettering looks good bro.
I see the "supervisor" is keeping an eye on you. He's so cute. Give him some love from me!

Not telling yet, until they're powder coated. And the CDC open grille (found it used for $100).

Ford blue coil pack covers

I decided they were pretty ugly and stained. I didn't know how they got stained, but the passenger side had stains near the back.
After painting them I drove in some heavy rain and found the source of the stain. My hood scoop must have a slight leak because everything was dry except that one place where the stain was.

That really looks great Darren. I see now what you were talking about a week and a half ago. Good job.

No problem, I am to, seeing as I am not able to serve (health reasons) I try to be sure to thank those who can and support them any way I can
