Yes. I like the added safety factor, plus the structural support.

No convenience control group... that's a tough system to cobble up: center console piece with lights, door latches with switches, low fuel sender, emerg brake switch, and wiring harness. I had that system in a previous Mustang and liked it. A RARE option nowadays.

Great work Neil! It's looking really good.

And Highland Green is most certainly my color! :cool:

My GNS has this option. I had all the lights working except for the low fuel light. They are fun to keep working though. The switches for the door ajar light are very fragile and prone to corrosion if you drive much.

I've already got my next project lined up: J code, A/T, A/C, P/S, P/B. It will be Black, Black Deluxe interior, upgraded A/C.
Probably my 'swan song' in re-doing Mustangs. (These 75 year old muscles & bones ain't like they used to be.):sad:

This is why I opted to replace the L front fender (Bondo beauty):

Why Neil I thought striating that out would be child's play for you. LOL

Not any work on the car this week (due to that pesky aircraft repair operation we do- We're prepping a Cessna 182 for an around the world flight).
But I was able to complete the upper and lower console units.
