    Thanks! The only thing that has comforted me while the car is being done is knowing it is in Safe Hands and the builder is almost 100% on same page as my thoughts are on. Plus, all the communications and pics back an forth. No excuses or lies for work not getting done. He is truly the Best car person I have meet!

    My friend (stang79) posted over at the PA Forum = Gonna pull the sail panels, tail lights, and the rest and 220 it with the DA. I still have the fenders, and both bumpercovers to do also but I am getting there.

    Also = so far its pretty good but there was a lot of filler on the roof

    The want-a-be painter (mechanic) that painted it for me before really did a terrible job!!! Luckily, I meet Todd aka = stang79 to get it done Right!

    More news from Todd Witman (aka: stang79) over at PA Mustang Forum. He posted the following: "Well the bodywork on the roof, c pillars, rocker panels, wheel wells and about half of the engine bay is complete and I hope by the end of the day tomorrow the total engine bay will done. I have a little work to do on the fenders then I can spray the polyester primer on and start block sanding the car to get it straight. Its time consuming but worth it in the end."

    It is getting closer and closer to get some paint on her. The excitement is just tearing me apart!!! Yahoooooo!!!!

    It still looked pretty good in your pictures.

    I don't believe you've mentioned the new color. (At least recently.) I hope you paint the engine bay body color, and not black.

    Todd Witman (aka: stang79) posted :

    I got a lot of sanding done note the dark spots are the guidecoat which shows the low spots. The roof looks awesome considering it looked as if a party was held on it

    Things have come to a sudden stop! My father needed my help and is now living with me. My brother really did some terrible things to my father including taking his home and assets plus Abused/Threaten him after my mother passed away from Pancreatic Cancer at the end of the year. My father is in bad shape! He never thought his youngest son that he liked soo much, would betray him soo much. My father is doing much better now here at home with us, but the damage is done! VA and MD Adult Protection Agencies are now investigating all that my brother and his wife did to my father.

    Hope to restart on car ASAP when things settle down some.

    Just got some Great News from Todd Witman (aka:staang79) about my car. He is continuing on the bodywork and says I am good for it. He is truly the Best person I could of found and became friends with because of my car. Here are some More pics to wet your appetite:

    Trying to start back on the car. I ordered my Lexan Windows for whole car from ProGlass . They were shipped today and my friend (stang79 (Todd Witman) should be getting them this Thursday. Also, want to get my TKO trains worked up at Bob Hanlon's. Called Ford Performance Solutions (Troy Bowen) and purchased a Crank Trigger for my motor. Last, ordered a new Flaming River manual rack/pinion.


    Thanks
