Thanks guys. I am currently working on the engine bay of my 88 Mustang GT T-top (1 of 800 made that year) repainting it and smoothing the holes shut and all. After sno-x racing, trail riding a snowmobile was just a waste for me. I've been doin Mustang rebuilding and Performance mods since 02, and its pretty much all I do now in my spare time now.

While i am doing my 88, I am also redoing the engine in my fathers 64 Ford Fairlane, it has a 351w in it now, but he wants another 427 stroker in it like I did to his mustang. I guess We will see what happens with that too

Ya know I'm not a FORD guy at all! Altho I do own a 68 gt torino!
BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS IS ONE NICE MUSTANG! Be proud of your work. I am still looking for one of my dad's 57 chevys'! I have had several street and drag cars, they take alto of care most people don't see or understand. Good luck on your 88 I am sure it will turn out great!

Hey Joe, I'm not much of a Ford guy either but I love this one. The photography is awesome too. Looks like it is for a magazine.
