I always figured a body-colored grille would look good on the base '87-88 birds, and always wondered why nobody seemed to do it :dunno:

This is first class car porn. The greatest car I've seen yet. And I'm not a big fan of the later Non T/c birds, but I really truly like this one

I just took off the lower "skirts" off a 87 TC I bought Sat.

These are the fender to fender and under the door and the behind the rear wheels  ones as well.

The front air dam cover was already missing.

Now I have to remove all the double sided tape and figure out how to get the paint to shine again.

Are those skirts worth anything?

I bought a no-title '84 TC a couple years ago that had those skirts on it, if I recall correctly I sold them for $90 or so...

I think a set of Tourque Thrust wheels would make it look adass. Or Rodlights maybe?

anything's better than the chrome grill!



....i decided to cut out the center section on mine. id actually considered making some fiberglass pieces that would replicate the cobra grills.

Painting the grille body color just plain looks better on these cars.  Good Job!

That would be sweet. Make em with a "floating" bird emblem and all...hell yeah! People might actually keep the "base bird" noses if those were available!

has anyone ever thought that we could be the begining of the aftermarked for these cars?
Title: NEW MODS!!!!( skirts+grill)
Post by: 84 Fila on March 26, 2007, 06:47:36 PM
Graham, we ARE the after market for these cars. I mean, IMO, most of the mods I want to do to the car other then motor are all ford stuff. Later stang seats, Turaus fan's, Pony/turbines even as little stuff as painting the grill and a few monio mods to what we have..... All ford stuff. We just have to think shiznit up, get someone to make it, and we would be set

I like the car man, you seem to have very similar tastes.  I prefer the grill as opposed to the TC front end, and I like those wheels too.  Even the cowl hood looks nice.

I think I'm going to buy the ones I've seen and see if I can't make a little extra moolah for the 'Bird.

I guess his front end in the dark picture has a painted grill, even though its to dark to see.  Bad photography FTL!
