Thanks for the info. I emailed Fox Resto earlier in the week to ask about various items. I'll follow up with them and get some samples. SMS did send me some samples for the seats, but did not mention the headliner. I will check back with them.
It is. He listed it a couple times on eBay, then took it off for me when we worked out a deal. It has about 7 layers of white primer on it, but there is no rust anywhere. He had it sitting for a while, but after changing the plugs, fresh gas, rotor button, and a little starting fluid, it started right up and felt very strong. No smoke, no unusual noises, nothing. Here are a few pics of where we're at now. I plan on dying as much as I can, but will need to source some items I don't have. Thanks again. I'll keep posting pics as we progress.

Glad to see that car finally go to a good home. I think that car has been listed on and off for at least the last two years. Congrats on the purchase!

Glad to see that car is getting a proper restoration and is in good hands. Looking more like an '82 CHP reunion will be held in the South, first!!
I will be going this route for my dash pad restoration (thanks for the great write up, Andy)... http://www.specialservicemustang.net...light=Dash+pad If you've read my other posts and threads, you'll know I've got the original seats, but they need to be recovered. The black cloth sample that SMS sent me did not match the OEM seats in a few of the cars on here. The seat vinyl is a good match though, as is the headliner material. Fox Resto found a material pattern close for the package tray and offered to build one for me. I haven't gone that route yet. I'd like to see what SMS offers. Their (SMS) carpet looked too light. It needs to be darker in my book. I'm finding things here and there for my restoration. I just picked up an NOS headlight switch and washer reservoir/overflow tank from NPD.com. Watch your local salvage yards for original parts, too. I've scavenged off a couple four-eyed cars and an '83 Fairmont. Good luck with your restoration. Can't wait to watch the progress and see more photos. Greg
