Good grief. I just went back and reviewed the posts on this car, and can't believe I've had it for 3 years+.
It will be Sunlit Gold (original color) with Deluxe Nugget Gold interior, Black CS striping, and perhaps Black hood stripe.
I've already got a TON of new parts waiting for the car to come out of the paint shop: all new suspension (front & rear), interior, upgraded A/C, console. And possibly Shelby wheels.
I'll check compression & oil pressure to determine engine status, but I'll have to pull it out anyway to clean/detail the engine & engine bay.

I second that choice!! A Shiny black is hard to beat!! A bugger to keep clean and streak free but oh how it glistens....

My first mustang was a triple black and it was gorgeous! Looks like you're going to need to kick out a tenant soon. Any developments on the "garage" close to home?

10 spokes are easy once you know the trick (tightening lug nuts).:eek:
(I've lost that photo of my Yellow CS. Would liked to have saved it for posterity, maybe even make an 8 X 10 photo copy!!)

That is going to be sooooo cool! Neil, your cars are high quality restorations, so this will be one of the best around. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Stick with the 10 spokes (unless you can get a set of 65 Cragars like mine):)

Yep, that's the one. The photos were in my digital camera that dumped.
Nice to have a visual reminder of one's finer moments. :eek:
