    I know there's a tech article on it that says how to do it, but I'm not planning on doing it myself...just wondering if anyones had a shop do good work on them around here.

    Maybe its the word Chevelle in your user name that is giving you trouble... lol

    I've used a guy out in Springtown to do some bodywork. He did a great job but I cant say he was all that economical. It might be a little far from you as well. Check with the N.TX Mustang Club. They may have a larger list from which to choose from.

    are you planning on a drive in-drive out price.
    or
    are you going to take the V6 out?
    take the fenders and hood off?
    if you look at the ...writeup..you will get an idea of what all is involved.
    will you supply the donor cowl or will they?
    just some things to think about before you go to get a price...:yup:
