Paint is going on the car!

Doors & front fenders have been painted and the stripes have all been laid out. Tungsten Silver (new Ford GT color) stripe on Black, with a gold 1/16" pinstripe.

I took the door glass to have it installed to a local glass company who gave me a good price. When I arrived with the glass and the frames with the old glass already removed, they agreed on the price of $20 for each piece. I talked with the installer and asked him to protect the pieces as this is an old car. The installer said "That is off of and old Mustang, isn't it?"

I left there impressed and felt assured that everything was OK. You could image how I felt the next day when I called and they said that he had broken one of the pieces. He broke the lower swivel pin off the driver side vent window.

Long story short, they offered me a $20 refund at their main office. I was asking them to pay for a replacement piece. While giving me the refund the lady said "You got a good price!" Then it hit me. The old saying of "You will remember the poor quality long after the low price is forgotten."

I fixed it with Silver solder, flux and buffing. Tried to break it back off. That thing is not going anywhere. I will finish the glass install myself.

Well, 15 days later and it is still not finished!!!!! [image noborder]http://www.artnskins.net/e107_images/emoticons/argh1.gif[/image]

Only things left are the GT500E Stripes, driver door handle, rear light panel (I was told it was being installed as we were talking), rear quarter panels (shouldn't take long, I know they are finished but might not be painted), and the rear bumper.

A pic of the throttle body & EFI Harness. Harness looks pretty intimidating at first. But once you go over the connections a few times, it is pretty straight forward. There is just a lot of it!
