My '88, one of two '87-'88 Tbirds on USF's tampa campus. I'm proud to say mine is in the best shape and runs excellently. I plan to convert the motor when I get out of college. I'm not sure to what yet, but we'll see. I want to do something different, but I'm not sure what yet. I think a gt-40 crate motor would be nice, something I know Thunderchicken has done.

The 2nd to last picture is pre-paint job, and before I cleaned up the headlights.

Looks good! Manual driver seat too? Nice.

Do a 4v swap. Havent seen one of those yet. I want to do one with a Terminator motor... Maybe after I rob a bank.

Not this Thunder Chicken. Mine's still packing the SO 5.0 (albeit now backed by a T5). I've got all the parts to upgrade to HO except the cam, so I hope to have that upgrade done by the end of summer, but no, unfortunately no GT40 for me....
