    here's my 98 mustang project. it was wrecked, so this is a resto project with some light performance mods. this post with the list will be updated as i find new things to do, here's the list as of now more to come as i dig into the car and see what all has to be done. i'm open to ideas! my goal is just a cool cruiser, but i probably won't be able to help an occasional trip to wednesday night drags. should be fun!
