Hello once again, I appreciate all your advice in the past, really been helpful. ok got a couple of questions...1. back bumper needs to be re-cromed..Any recommendations? 2. putting in new carpet is it alright to used the old foam padding or should I replace that too and should I glue the whole carpet down or just the edges? 3.floor board has some bad rust spots (all the way through!)any recommendations in a fix? (besides replacing the whole thing?)live in Hunstville, TX. any place around close for parts handbooks stuff like that.

Well I will try and answer some of the questions:
First, you will just need to see if someone close to you does plating, maybe in Houston because I have heard the original bumpers are a better quality than repro's. It will probably come down to cost.
Second, most carpets I have seen just have the sound deadening insulation under the carpet. If I were installing new carpet I would change this and use a better insulation than the stock that does not hold moisture. This leads to the rust problem, and I would glue on the edges as well as spots in the middle ares just to keep it from pulling up when you vacuum.
Third, you should replace the floor boards but if not try the rust restoration kit from POR15, this stuff really works.
As far as local parts the only one's I can think of is Texas Mustang Parts-Waco and John's Mustang parts.

When putting my interior back together I used 2 layers of better store-bought insulation and now is loud outside and very quiet on inside and helps with heat pretty well. If you have a welder you could weld in some patches just don't let anybody especially judges know. Also try Mustang Mania in Katy. His prices are competitive to Johns and is much easier to understand (those who know him know what I'm talkin about) and he's a normal guy who likes these cars.
