Was the dash made of a cloth foam combo or something? the one in my 82 mustang was a cheap foam that cracked realllllllyyyyy easy... I cracked it once or twice on accident.

I got a few things lined up for the Zebra but I wanna get the Mustang back up and running first. Just in case something goes wrong I have a working car.

I have planned tho to swap in a new fuel pressure regulator and maybe look into during a new brake booster too. I also found a new water pump for a 302 in my old parts bin along with a timing cover, so if these parts work on the 351w then I'll swap that all out too!

Keep going on the Mustang it is looking beautiful.

Are you going to change the rims?
Also the steering wheel does suck.

Thanks! I do plan to change the rims out when it's time for tires. Looking at going to 17's. The steering wheel is def on the chopping block. It sounds so nice with the new exhaust.

I'm checking the forum every day to see the progress. Wish we could have done all that to it and kept it. But our dentsides are higher up on the priority list.
