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:
I've seen it on a few after I thought of it.
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
My other 'Bird was blue like yours with a body colored grille as well,and silver punstripes.Nice work on the car.there's a set of side skirts like that at 2 different yards I requently go to.I should grab them and sell them here.Again,great car.
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 liked your car a lot before but I like it even more now. Good work!
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...
Lose the truck wheels and your golden!
Here's mine from 2005...it was on the car for about a year, till last year when I bought the parts-TC.

Thanks for the compliments!..those wheels make the car lol their my babies!But I actually overpaid for my skirts and they were in bad shape, they had to be redone..150 i believe i paid.
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!
looks good!
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!
I was never a big fan of the TC header panels, looks like a lazy Ford nose lol.
has anyone ever thought that we could be the begining of the aftermarked for these cars?
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.
apparently sigs are useless anymore because nobody pays attention to the pics anymore. ;)
nice work Vantage, I like it.:birdsmily:
Nice looking Bird!:headbang:
I do my best! thanks!
Seexxaayyyy! Looks so good with that grill. And I'm a sucker for ladies in skirts.
wow, looks really good, i've been wanting to get skirts for mine too, but having a hard time finding them
I saw some on ebay. they might go back up.
What the hell are you talking about?
:screwy:
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!
i got rid of the chrome grill on my sport pretty quick. i didnt have much to speak of for chrome on my car and the grill was out of place. problem is getting the right paint and prep otherwise it chips.
When your dad is an autobody man, it makes things much easier lol.
