Screw the 302...IF I were to pick it up to replace the white one, it would be getting the same engine/trans combo that it is getting.

(The white one has a 302 in it...and it's not staying in the car....)

I have nothing better to do Chuck. Road trip? Especially if there were any 83-84 5.0 Bird's out your way...

Michael-
It's just not worth the hassle of a 2000+ mile transport.  I'm really just in need of body parts, and I can't get anyone who has one of these things to let me get parts off them...

Ductape...is that a black one?  I'm sure I've seen that one.

I have 2 NOS 80 TBird front fenders (both are driver's side). Somebody from this site bought them (Scott IIRC) from up in Canada and them delivered to me in Bellingham. It's been 3 years since that happened though and he's never come down to get them. Every year I stick up a thread asking about him, but never any responses.

TBird fenders won't work for me I don't think anyway.

I've had 2-3 guys with cars that they can't sell, but won't come down on their price at all, and I don't need another car sitting around.  I offer to come pull parts and give them fair price for them, but they just s the car....and there are none local in yards.

Nice wheels.  A guy around the block from me just grabbed this below about 2 months ago....Chuck, maybe these will help to see if the fenders work?
