    I would think just as most have said bumpers,dash-pad,valences,sheetmetal (floors ) maybe grabber grill and hood lip molding or don't know how popular but I would love to find the rubber floor covering(no carpet in mine) just my $0.02 .

    Small bumpers for mav AND comet,floor pans,valences,v8 swap stuff.I don't need any v8 stuff now but people are always asking.I'd buy floorpans for 2 cars right now,same on bumpers.Steel valences would be nice,I think someone makes them in fiberglass but seems like they would be fragile in daily use(remember the 'glass valences on the front of 74-75 camaros..they were always cracked up or busted to pieces)Oh yea,I'm with stockhatch & Nick Dominick-steel grabber hood!

    Yeah, the problem is, unlike the Mustang repop stuff, there's not as much market so they have to charge more to make their money back.

    1/4 panel patchs, maybe lower 1/2 of door skins, definately floor pans and trunk floors, any sheet metal piece that is prone to rust on these cars on the lower side, floor shift steering collars, the plastic bumper fillers would be good too, could possiblely do them in fiberglass.

    I kinda skimmed through the posts, but, how about:

    1.) modified dash for installing modern (Autometer) gauges (tach, speedo, oil, fuel, etc.)
    2.) full suspension kits
    3.) rails for new mustang seats which utilize existing bolt holes
    4.) "Eleanor" body kits :D

    Just a thought on that last one. Please don't be too hard on me :oops:.

    Jean Doll, you hit it right on the nut shell, I live in Michigan and to find a good doner car for floor pans, I gave up, I would most definetly buy new, so what if it cost me a little bit, it beats bending your own sheet medal.

    I'M USING MUSTANG FLOORBOARDS ON MINE. SEEMS TO BE WORLING OUT PRETTY GOOD. ONLY IF USING BUCKET SEATS I DONT KNOW IF THEY WOULD WORK WITH A BENCH SEAT SINCE THE MUSTANG FLOOR IS FLAT RATHER THAN HAVING THE RAISED HUMPS.(y)

    Is that all?

    Front spoiler? never had one originally ... aftermarket stuff already available.

    Rear Spoiler ... being done now ... even in carbon fiber ... check the board ... although there are plenty of used spoilers out there.

    Partial Rocker panels are already available.

    Back window shelf ... you mean the board itself? Already available.

    Some parts will NEVER be reproduced. In that situation....that is what a 4-door is for. :D
