Nice! *drool*

I always have had a soft spot for 4 eyed coupes since I traded mine for my first Tbird back in '99....

Is the Windsor going back in it? :evilgrin:

Grabber Blue?i saw a coupe the other day on the web somewhere that was built using '04 Mach 1 engine and shaker,interior,and actually looked pretty cool to me.He riveted the center of the hood on (from the Mach 1),but it still looked good.

Looks good! Not knocking the black grille and headlight buckets, but still curious how it'd look in mono..
Still, gotta have some contrast somewhere :D

Looks good!! I had a 79 Ghia 5.0 back in the day, but it didn't look anywhere near as nice.

looks like you painted some of the rear window. But it does look killer

I don't think there's a window on the car that doesn't have paint or primer on it. LOL!

but a razor blade takes care of that. :)

Nice color choice!

Have fun wet sanding urethane paint.  It sucks!:mad:

as you might be able to tell, the stripes on the rear cover dont line up, so I'm waiting on a replacement cover.

the new replacement rear seat cover will be here Friday. I also got my TFS spring upgrade kit in. So now I can get the heads finished.

a new link to my photobucket album is in the first post now.
