Time to update the pictures, I was out of the country for a few months but now I am back and starting to work on the car again.

Can’t wait to install these when I get home, NOS Carlite rear glass with Defrost and Carlite front windshield.

12/4/12 I used Dow's Betaprime and Betaseal U-418HV Auto Glass Urethane Adhesive, it was very easy to work with and meets all OE / FMVSS crash and durability requirements. Priming:

12/26/12 I installed the parking brake, NOS equalizer, new cables, and cleaned all the hardware. I installed the rear Firebeam and the two NOS amber Sho-me halogen lights. I installed new Motorcraft battery cables. The dash is back in the car, I have started running wires for all the equipment and lights. Today I started tearing down the engine and getting ready to send the block, heads, and crank off to the machine shop.

Yeah, I have been so busy (with real work) I have not spent much on any of the forums. The little time I have had has been finishing up the car. She runs and drives great and I only need a few things to finish it off 100%

1.Drivers seat.
2.Paint the 6 adhesive door moldings, I am still looking for NOS ones. I have aftermarket, and originals but I have been holding out.
3.Finish install the rest of the equipment, this should be done this week.

Thank you!

A work of art, as always, Aaron. :2thumbs:

Absolutely beautiful car! What kind of shape is your seat in? I spend a very long time looking for a nice oem titanium cover for my '92. Eventually found one on the Corral. You'll find one. Worst case, there's always SMS for some NOS upholstery. Again, great work on the car.

Beautiful job Aaron! Thanks for posting all of the pics. I'm diving into the WI shortly, your pics will help tremendously with my detailing.

I'm a Kansas boy, too, and I'm drooling over this car. Back in 1996, I test-drove a 1992 Mustang that a guy had for sale. He didn't know it was a KHP car and I realized that it was when I popped the trunk and saw that the underside of the trunk lid was gray. I kick myself for not buying that car but I wasn't wanting a SSP back then. I'd love to see any current pictures that you have of this thing.

I know it's been forever but it's time to update this thread.
Admins: Any way I can have edit access to remove the Photobucket picture files and replace with Flickr files? It was super time consuming but I did it on .org so the reference / history is not lost. I would like to do the same here.

1/8 Mile 2.4 60Ft, 9.8@77mph. All equipment running, full weight on Gatorbacks. Pretty terrible by today's standards, haha. The local Fox Body club rented the track for the day so it was a nice clean pass. First / Last time this car will see the track.

How can we get this whole resto to populate with pics again, I find this fascinating and a good overall process referral document!

Unfortunately the "edit" function is disabled after an amount of time. I moved all my pictures from PhotoBucket to Flickr and I was able to rebuild the thread on .org but can't on .net unless I am given rights to edit my old posts.
