    I will be doing a custom variation of the 2005 Mustang dash. There will be a few tweaks, but mainly the dash pad will resemble the mustang.

    I plan on touring with the car, go to local shows, and when I am feelin` perky take it to the strip for fun. Doubt I will get into any bracket racing with it.

    Mainly, I just want a show stopper, and something different than what anyone else is doinng. Interior when completed will look stock, but more modern. Motor, 306 Crate - Trans T5,

    It is hard to see in the picture/illustration, but there are two wing nuts. One holds the jack, the other holds the wheel.

    OK guys, I have a new air cleaner that I need to sand down and paint to match a 70's engine color. So that's next.

    I just want you to see the box it came in from one of the members here! I had it sent to my office and everyone was just commenting on the box!

    Thanks again!!!
