Today I was talking to William Waters up in Versailles Mo. I hadn't talked with him in a couple of years so I figured since I was in the area I'd stop by. He was home and now all his 30 or so T-bird's are all lined up in rows. He took me for a tour since it had been so long. Well in all the the stuff he has laying around he found a brand new in the plastic Ground effects kit for 87-88. He has the front, rear, and side skirts. He side he knows others want them so I was talking about taking them and making some molds so we could have some fresh pieces. So is anyone interested?
If I had an 87-8, I would be
Post w......... jeesus.
I'd be very interested, considering i actually OWN an 87 AND an 88.
What would the final product be made of? PVC? Fiber? I Like the Idea!
any idea what something like that would cost?
Not a clue on the price . They would be made of fiberglass.
possible interest here
:rollin::rollin::rollin::rollin::rollin:
Yeah I am intrested, how much would they be is my concern.
I would be interested in them!!!!
I figure you all would be more worried about what they looked like.
Thats what I was wondering.
:ttiwwp:
Any ground effects is better than none at all. At least it gives a base to start with, if your good with composites.
possible interest here
I'd be interested too, if the price was right.
interested, yes, but only if they aren't an arm and a leg and don't look hideous.
interested, how bout some pics?!
Well guys as of right now this is just an Idea floating around in my head. I don't have the pieces yet but I was talking with Bill about it. Just trying to get an idea of how many people would want these before I did the work and was left with a bunch of stuff.
ipsd,
Shoot me a PM.
you've peaked my interest. i'm going to need more info on it though.
on a side note, my wife and i drive through versailles all the time on our way down to that lake house.
Turbo Ranger you go through Versailles to your Lake house. Where might that be at. I used to live in Eldon MO. I tell you if you are in the Versailles area you could head out to his house just to meet the guy. He lives down lake road W-3 the same road Time out Sports Bar is on. You can't miss his house White house Big brown shop and tons of T-birds lined up. Yes there are other cars too but mainly T-birds. I guess it is best to say he is a Ford Guy. He even showed me his Brand New Mustang GTCS. Looks awsome. Also the ones He has look something like this.http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8334&stc=1&d=1160578804
They weren't on a car still in the plastic from Ford. He has all sorts of stuff. He showed me Brand new Trim still in the plastic/cardboard vac pack. He also has brand new Fenders, doors. I wish I had his inventor
we stay in sunrise beach. i know where time out is, we pass it on the boat all the time. i'll have to check that out the next time we go down. those are actually pretty nice looking ground effects. would it come with the spoiler?
I'm sure we can work something out. I know he has many cars with the spoilers. I'm sure I could make some or you could get on style from Aerobird motorsports. But I would like the whale style rear wing and I know he has some of those I could mold. Also He has some of the FMS 83-86 grills. He also has 2 83-86 cars with factory or dealer install body kits need to get some molds of those.
why is he not on here?
I asked him about that yesterday while I was there. He is busy with a race car and driving the big rig he bought for his son to drive. Other than that he is retired. He said he doesn't have much time for the computer right now. He is also side tracked with a Vertable mustang for his wife and shes got one so he had to have one so he bought an 85 SVO for him. They are both under construction. He also has an Nice white XR4TI and some SHO's that doesn't include the old cars and the mustang II's and pintos. He claims to have one of each Ford they put a 2.3 in. I know that if he doesn't get the right feeling from you or care for your attitude he won't deal with you. I have horse traded with him several times. Also the 87 hood on my 84 T/c he kinda gave to me. Gotta love that deal.
sounds like a guy that i need to know.:D
Perhaps...
interested
I'm interested, depending on the which type they are. Why don't you post some pics of them and see if someone can identify the maker.
Need some pics..If I like what I see...then yes..I'm in.:D
he said it looks similar to this:
(http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s113/turboranger91/automotive/kit.jpg)
you realize if everybody buys them thats posted that theyre interested, its gonna seem like theres more birds with body kits then without!
Everyone here will be scared away by price. No doubt.
im interested
Bear, I'm pretty confident that an 87-88 kit will not fit us. Skirts yeah but not thr front. I'm even unsure of the rear fitting
fila the skirts are different too...
Oh... I thought they were the same between the years. It was just the front and rears ( and trunk if you wana go there) that changed
I like that wing :D If those were to be made in fiberglass and priced right, I'd alter them enough to fit my 86'
John
They made that Whale tale for the 83-86 bird too. I know William has one on a 86 with a complete body kit. That even has the FMS grill on it.
am i just blind? i could've swore that this thread was about an 87-88 cougar bodykit.
In about march time, i'd be SUPER intrested in a 4 eye set.
Yes you are partially right it started about 87-88 body kit. Not a cougar. The parts I can get a hold of are for a bird not shure if the bird and cougar ones need to be different.
I'm scared at the looks of the rear skirt:barf:
where are the pics of these parts??? :pics-stfu:
Half to have the parts in hand to take pics. The parts are about 180miles away. I was checking interest before I got to much into it.
yea but i als have an 87 xr7
if you let me know of the price and show some more pics maybe ill be able to get em.
If it looks like the gst kit im defenetly intrested.
Would love to have one, what,s the price?
Where does this guy live? I just moved to Omaha NE and if hes with in driving distance i would love to check it out... oh and I might make the Branson Z fest in the spring.
he's down near the lake of the ozarks... maybe about 6 hours or so for you.
I'm interested! How much?
Holy ressurrection batman. Abe0553, If you were to read all the previous posts, there has been nothing said about the price nor has there been any pics posted, or even any discussion on it for a year now.
were there any cool ideas for the older ones?? 83-86?????
How about...this thread has been long dead. No more dredging it up from the nether regions.
Locked.
