Thanks everyone. I'm going to try to earn a little money then get one. Will check with Manuel about stock heater holes.

NAPA didn't have the blinker module. Tousley Ford told me it's NLA but a place in Alabama has one in stock for $130. I told the guy, screw that; I'm going to the junkyard. Went to Somerset U-Pull. They only had one 1G, a red GT. Someone had already pulled the module. Figures. So the turn signal continues to not work.

Stopped at my grandparents' place... they like it

Then came home and painted the sides and top. Reinforced and painted the trunk lid gap filler. Made a new grille block that goes ~2/3 the way across the front grille and fits more flush. Pulled the instrument pod apart to screw the turn signal stalk box thing back in and the screw holes are split. Drilled two holes in the pod and zip tied it in place. Perfecto! Put a related piece of trim back on. Strengthened the (wavy) pass side edge of the belly pan. I think that's all. Going to pick up a prescription and take some photos soon.

Tomorrow after the paint has dried 24 hours the stencils go on. There will be one on the back "STAY BACK 50 PARSECS"
