Hello Everyone,
I'm happy to let you know earlier this month I purchased 8R01C153469 from Mosesatm. This is my first Mustang so I'll probably have questions occasionally.

Do we have any members that live in the Chicago area?

Congrats Brian! Welcome to the site and to the world of classic Mustangs.

Here's a photo of Brian's car, but feel free to post more.

Thank you for the warm welcome! Jon, thank you for sharing the photo. Arlie, it should arrive around Christmas (how appropriate).

Once I have the car I'll be sure to take some photos, especially once Spring hits.

Thank you! She definitely does, Wednesday it's supposed to get up to about 37 degrees, I hope to give her a quick wash in the driveway

Any thoughts on the risk of me cracking the glass if I wash it?

Should not be a problem. Just let the car sit outside for a little while if you have had it in a heated garage. Then wash it with cold water not hot.

Congrats Brian! I'm down in Decatur. Maybe we'll run into each other at a show in the summer. There's a real nice show in Bourbonnais usually the 1st week of Aug I try to make. Welcome aboard!
