Happy Birthday 96MystiqueGS!

Thanks guys! It was pretty good except for losing the only key to my new SVT! I had to pull the column out and take it to a locksmith to have a key made so I can unlock the steering wheel to move the car onto a tow dolly and put the new motor in. I found out the hard way that Ford no longer has the mechanical cut keycodes for vehicles over 10 years old, although there is access the the codes on motorcraftservice.com for 1997+ vehicles for specially licensed locksmiths. None of the dealers I called were aware of this and the closest locksmith listed as having access was Binghamton, NY (75 miles from me). Hopefully the keys will be ready today before work so I can at least put the column back in and reassemble the passenger door handle.
