My slow build by 87GT Drop Top

2 minute(s) of a 70 minute read

Well I messed around a little with the car in between my honey do list.

I got a aluminum face plate from UPR the other day. I work less then 5 minutes from them. 

I never liked the way the gauges weren't broken up by something. On the other hand I don't have an shiney stuff inside my car. I took the face plate and sanded it down. Then I painted it with satin black. What do you think?

I was going to buy the ones that just have the white circles, but they used the same back lighting. I wanted the reverse glow ones like th newer cars have and this was the only way they came. UPP discontinued the face plate. I've seen it on there website before. Now that I was ready to buy it, it wasn't there. I called over there and Adam told me they were discontinued but he still had some in stock.

Thanks I can't wait either. It will be a while. I will be driving up to Melbourne to where Kaenen's shop is to get a hood when I taken my vacation the end of March. Then all I have to do is save money to have the car painted.

I hoping to have the paint done some time in June. I hoping the whole car will be done by September for the Patriot Run to the Florida Keys. Then Mustang week in 2012.
