UPDATES where I am at on the 1979 Ford Mustang Autocross car
Dash and Wire Harness found
Finally found some parts in the middle of nowhere.
I have been in search of a usable dash that hasn't been chopped for a non stock style stereo.
Of course the parts were buried in thorny vines but a little clearing and i could get to them. The 1979 Mustang in this photo is what my car's original color was. Someone took the sport steering wheel already.
The difference between a 1979 Dash and an 1985 Dash is below. Upper is from a 1979 which was equipped with an 8 track stereo.

Hatch Door sensor is still in the car. I never had that in my car. Previous owner ripped it out before I had it.
I will be taking a day off from work for this. It is an 8 hour job to take out a dash. My original dash was damaged when someone stole my stereo...
