    ARRRRG Hate it when I buy something and then can't find it.

    I had bought  some replacement studs for the windshield trim and now I can't find them anywhere. Guess I'll buy some more and then the first ones will show up right where I placed them so they would be easy to find. It's hell gettin old.

    I thought I was the only one that had magical powers that could make things appear just buying another.

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    I went through everything a long time ago:  No fastback weatherstrip, no GT badges,  but I do have your rubber wheel chock.  

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    I bought the  gaskets for my 9" rearend and couldn't find them when I got to the assembly.  I didn't mind the cost because they were only a couple of dollars but it takes 35 minutes to get to NPD for a new set. I did find the original set shortly after buying the new ones, so this method does work for locating the original purchased parts.

    Well I guess I need to take a break. After searching for a part while I was under the dash - I found out that I was laying on it!

    Man, I wish I lived within 35 minutes of a vintage mustang parts house... or even within a couple of hours from one.
