Since my birthday was coming up soon, I was able to pick one part that I can put on the car. Not much thinking was involved in this decision. My friend, Gerry (previously mentioned), had some tri-y headers that I have had my eye on for a while. I got the money from the family and drove over to get those headers. There they were and then they were mine. Too my further surprise, Gerry picked up a steering wheel from a swap meet that is meant for my car. It's the right color red, original manufacturing, and I can get it in exchange for the wooden steering wheel on my car. That transaction will have to wait.
One day before I head back to Illinois I went back to Donut Derelicts. While there I met an incredibly nice man who was also a Mustang enthusiast, named Terry. He had a 1966 Coupe that was all done and it looked pretty darn good. I was telling Terry my plans for making the car better and he said that he could give me some parts that could really help me out. He would give me his Edelbrock Performer Aluminum Intake and Aluminum Valve Covers for free!
But I was flying out the next day, so that would have to wait until I got back from Illinois.
