Thanks for the continued encouragement, Doc! I am sloooowly plugging away. Collected a couple more parts this week and spent 1/2 a day yesterday running around 3 counties looking for rear ends - came back to within 5 miles of my house and stopped at a garage called "Mustang Corral". (You can guess what Jimmy has at his place). He said he had not forgotten my earlier request and had a '68 Mustang parts car coming in on Thursday that I could get the rearend out of when he got it. By the way, Jimmy has a 79(?) Spirit that he originally purchased new for his sons and kept it after they grew up and got other cars. He is going to "start on it after Christmas"...been saying that for awhile. Maybe Santa will be good to me this year and leave some more car dough in my stocking! -Lu- > > Keep plugging away at it Lu and you'll be there some day soon. That's all any of us can do. > "Doc"
