    Picked the wife up at work for dinner. After I dropped her of at her car I headed home. Lost the electric fuel pump 1/2 mile from home.

    :yup: Installed a new Addco 7/8" sway bar, Energy Suspension greaseable front bushings and Moog Problem Solver stabilizer bar links. Old 7/8" sway bar was slightly bent and worn and one bar link was worn out. Car handles like a dream. NO MORE SQUEAKS!

    image_905264_original.jpg Took it in to get exhaust built & wheel alignment.. Alignment was so far out 4 of is struggled to push it.. Was brutal. They got the exhaust done today and they are closed tomorrow so they will align Monday and have my dad pick it up; apparently he took a week off work lol worked out good for me. I'll upload a pic of it on the trailer Ina minute :)

    Thanks, I just have to replace the lens. 69 mustang is a direct fit from what I've researched.

    The Black on my head light bezels was chipped pretty good, so I sanded them a little and re-painted them Black. Then I :drive: around and hopefully charged up the battery since I had to jump it today.
