It almost looks like you ditched the Marchal's in those pics. I think it is an amazing transformation. Very nice job there.
I am not sold on the grille yet though. The mesh looks a bit to small in gauge. I would need to see more pics of it.
Overall a very nice job there. Love the wheels, headrests, rear spoiler especially.

Looks excellent. Not sure about the gas cap cover, but love the color, stance, wheels, engine work, etc. Looks real nice under the hood.

Infreekincredible. Fabulous job on the transformation. Best of luck with it.

very nice work..but the grill needs to be put back(paint it black?) but over all very nice car

[Mr. Squirrel]

Love it but the grille needs to be back in there. I hate the grille thats on there now

[mutantcapri1979]

sweet nice car man!

[RDOG]

The grille just needs to be painted a bit more, and all the stuff inside needs to be painted black because of the overspray. I have not installed the fogs yet because it needs to be colorsanded first. then I'm installing my headlight covers, marchals, and birds along the A pillar.

I have several different grilles to choose from. I have an FMS, stock, the grille thats on it, and also have this billet grille at my disposal.

I might just change them according to my mood. LOL!!

Thats my old bird I lost in divorce with evil ex-wife.

Does anyone know where I can get a set of marchal covers like these with the Ford logo on them? I really liked those covers.

Man nice bird! I love that style bird the most and yours is sweet! Do what you want with the grille you have to live with it. I love the color as well. Nice job!

I must admit, I've never been a fan of these cars. However, yours is awesome! there's another guy on here with a green one that is very impressive as well. Great work!

[Mr. Squirrel]

so your ex has the car or what. I'm cluesless on that part

[86capriASC]

I think he means the white bird in the pic Jerry.

Looking good. That was a nice find for $300! It is amazing what some cash and hard work can do.

[Vinnietbird]

Great looking car !!! Nice work and tastefully done.I'd stick with the factory style grille.The others just don't "fit" the look of these cars.Unlike Mustangs,which almost any mod can look good if done right,these cars are a little harder to mod visually and made to look good..Not that it can't be done....it's just harder.....stock grille.

thats hot! makes me miss my 86 t-bird

[Mr. Squirrel]

I really hope you can save or find that bird so it will be with you. Its a dang shame what she did knowing what you and your son had put into it. Let us know if you ever find it

[RDOG]

I put all my clear lights in today after finally getting car back from the colorsand.

I decided to wait on the racing stripes. I think the car has a lot going on and in might be overkill. I also have to find a nice fog bracket for passenger side.

[GT4U2NV]

Dude i love this bird. So clean looking. You did an amazing job.

[RDOG]

Thanks! I know I need some new headlights I'm thinking about either the diamond cut or black projector style. Any thoughts?

[tORMENtOR]

Nice work and cool color.
