Looking good Dave. How soon do you think it will be before you get it back?

We should have a big Fox Mustang roundup one of these days. Seems like everyone that has more than two Mustangs has atleast one Fox Chassis pony.

FYI, you can still get TRX tires thru Coker Tire. Might be a wait before they run off a batch though.

If not, try Mustangs Unlimited they have a store in Manchester Ct. and another one in Georgia, I find their parts to be a little more reasonable. The phone number in Manchester is ( 860-647-1965 ). Web site, Mustangs Unlimited.com when your on their site you'll see both numbers on their home page. Mike D. ITLRUN:twothumbsup:

Thanks, there is Phoenix Grafix here in Gilbert that can make me the entire decal kit for $399 when I'm ready. They said not to order it too soon as the decals here in the desert tend to dry out fast when just sitting.
