    I've posted here before, but never shown off my car (not the project). So I feel like I am a new member still. I got this car off eBay around the end of April. Some of you may have seen it listed in January. Drove 19 hrs round trip to get the car :)

    Its a head turner as I drive down the road its like everyone looks. Stripped on the underside of the hood and the trunk lid made for being shown. Proud of her so I figured I'd put her on here. Couldn't get it to post in galleries ( guessing you need to be a subscriber to do that :) ) so just linking off another site will work.

    Anyone know of anyone who does good body work in East Texas at a good price let me know :) Like to take care of that ding on the hood.

    Very nice car! Something seems kinda strange about the hood? It looks bent down or something, but it's not... :hmmm:

    Thanks. I got the car from a man in Kerrville, TX. Before it was there it was a at car lot in I think Phoenix, AZ if I remember what the title said before it was in my name.

    Tod Parker owned it and he even got it in Mustang & Fords magazine once. I believe it was sometime in the year 2000.
