By the way, you can do away with the luggage rack and add a spoiler if you claim the car as a 1993. There is a special edition convertible for 1993 that has a factory spoiler that looks nice.

Thanks buddy...I thought I was losing my mind lol. Knew there being screws under it had to come apart somehow.

My pleasure.

About that spoiler. You may not be able to go that route, if that's something you're interested in doing, since it may have only come on LX models. I'm not sure if it was available with GT ground effects. If you really wanted to have that spoiler, you could take off the GT effects, and put on LX front and rear bumper covers.

I'm not sure if anyone else has a 1993 special edition stocker or super stocker. You could be the first.....

Anyway, just a thought.

Are you talking about the one you suggested or the one I have currently? The spoiler/rack that I have is the same as the one on Brian Thompson's 1989.

No, it's the 1993 Mustang Special Edition. I think that they came in yellow, red and white, but you can change the color to whatever you like. Black on chrome would be very cool.

Here's a link that I got from Google to ebay which will give you an idea of what the car and spoiler look like.

Here's another example.

That would be an option running 150+ pounds lighter and M/SA...think I will stick with the original game plan for now tho.

Dang...that ebay LX sold for only $3500. Glad I didnt see it earlier lol.

Yeah, looks like they're giving them away these days. Sign of the times.

Still slogging away on it. Got the trunk lid back on the car...working on a wire harness tuck in the engine bay right now.

Need to rig up a relay for these fans.

I have a single two speed fan in my 68. One circuit is on the thermostat and the other is on a manual switch. That way I can run the fan on low with the electric water pump on to cool the car with the engine off.

In regards to comments on deleting heater controls over in your Camaro thread, the "keep the controls" rule leaves me scratching my head. I kept them but threw out all the mechanics behind it. The levers just flop there. I understand the stock dash, but heater controls aren't in the dash. At least in my car.

Yeah, most cars are required to keep the controls in the dash. Ours were missing when we bought the car...not sure if there was a factory heater delete offered for the Camaro's in 1967.

Feeling a little under the weather today so I stayed close to home. I did manage to get all the interior parts painted/dyed today. Took my inspiration from this photo...

A sneak preview...

It will be a stark contrast to the way it looked in the beginning.
