Now If I could make the buck tag decoder's output look as nice I'd upload the code files for Mike to add that feature. ;)

Looks great! What's the story behind the 79 Pace Car in the third photo (mileage, options, etc.)?

That car has a good story. We lived in Tampa, FL for a number of years and were active members of a local Mustang club. Our club was contacted by a local Meals-on-Wheels and explained that someone had donated a Mustang to their organization, but they didn't feel it was suitable to make deliveries in. They asked if they could auction it off at our annual show. Without knowing anything other than it was a Mustang, the club agreed. We learned it was a '79 Pace Car on the day of the show when they arrived. It was expressed they may be able to get $1,000 for it. The high bid on the car was $550. My father and I felt obligated to get them to the $1,000 they had in mind, so we bought it for $1,000.

It is an original 302-2bbl, 4-speed. The car was rough, but everything was there, except the metric TRX wheels. Here are some before and after pictures.

Jonathon, I have a Pace Car 'registry' online @ http://foxchassis.com/fep/registry/pc If your PC is not listed I would like to add it. I collect VIN, door tag, buck tag, build sheet, window sticker, etc., and also mileage and options. Options list is @ http://foxchassis.com/fep/registry/pc/options Thanks.
