    Ha Ha.
    Glad it was a 4 door!

    The local Mustang resto supply shop here in my town had a front clip
    of a Mustang coming out of the ground, indicating a 'rise from the earth'.
    Never took a pic of it.

    The forecast calls out for a 30 cent chance of participation and 57 degrees for Saturday. A little chilly but a jacket oughta do the trick.

    Hey guys, report back on what you find, parts etc, and where? I need lots of small stuff, like turn signal cam, maybe a door handle, other stuff like that. It would be nice to know where a couple of parts cars are lurking.

    So far, on the south half of town, I have seen nothing. Just a couple of cars in peoples backyards. And of course, the pick-your-parts in Pasadena are mostly newer cars, 80s and up.

    By the way, there is a fairly nice looking tan one on FM 2004, behind someones house almost into Hitchcock on the south side of the road. Next time I drive by, I may stop and inquire. Cant tell for sure, but it looks mav, not comet, 2 door.

    If you want, we can kill two ducks with one rock. I can meet you up in that area. This Maverick Roller is off Rayford Sawdust Rd. You might know of it also. '72, roll cage, mini-tubbed, shaved shock towers, 9" etc.

    Scott, like you, I've only seen late 80's and up cars in surrounding jy's. :( I'll keep an eye out for you though.
