Default Getting antsy here people!

Sittin on pins and needles tonight for tomorrow I am heading to the Dogwood City to get my '92lx 2.3 Mustang convertible outta storage and bring it home! Yee-Haw!

Gonna be a tow job. Last time I drove it about four years ago, a canine ran in front of me at 80 per and wiped out the radiator support, radiator and condenser not to mention the bumper. Also needs a new top, int and paint. Yeah, pretty ragged out but she's my baby and I aint seen her in three years! Tomorrow I gloat! Lucky o seven, yeah I'm in heaven.....hey, think I'll name her "Dixieland Delight"! Got wifey ridin shotgun with camera in hand so there should be lots of pics, pics of real cars and not just artwork! Will also be taking pics of the resto and changing of the radiator support. Anyone out there ever changed one? I wont know what I am up against until I get the car on the lift. Also will be doing modifications to improve fuel mileage so any info on that would be more than welcome.

"Dixieland Delight" coming soon to a gallery near you!

artistang, last seen hooking up the tow trailer to his big honkin 4x4 Dodge truck.......

Very cool! So are you keeping it fairly stock? What are your plans?

Made it back just fine, thank you......and thanks to U-Haul!

My intentions at this time, due to budget constraints, is to repair the damage and return it to stock.

I have began the repair of the radiator support and y'all can follow the repair and restoration in my member galleries titled "Dixieland Delight"

http://www.allfordmustangs.com/photo...y.php/cat/3809

I have not done much body work so if their are any body men out there, your input would be sorely appreciated. So far, I have a busted bumper, bent radiator, bent condenser, busted lights and a radiator support that needs repair.

Cut it out or try to porta power it back into place, that is the question at this time?

A dog ran in front of me while doing 80+ one night about four years ago. I hate it for the dog, but he did not suffer.

Wow. I like the way that car was stored. It looks like there should be a lot of rust under all those leaves. Good luck in fixing it up though.
