Though it's separate from your original posts, post a picture of it when you're done.
I think several of us have those stories of the great one that got away. I had the chance to buy a 69 Boss 302 back in the late 90's. Wasn't a perfect car, but was original, driveable, all there, and the Acapulco Blue color (my preferred color) and could be mine for a mere $7k at the time. As a Dad with a 1 year old and a second one on the way, starting my own restoration shop . . . Yeah I didn't have the money and a Mustang wasn't exactly the best daily driver at the time so . . . We bought a Windstar instead! FOR MY WIFE NOT ME!

I will post some pics of the Mustang once put back together. Or at least all of my stuff put back together.
