morning shot before we left for mustang week at Myrtle Beach NC this year, the hood and header panel are from a t-bird I had in '01, the P.O. had this car under a tree and a limb fell on it in early '01, I finally got it from him in august of '12 and had to put the hood and header on it my self..... go figure....

hopefully it will be home in a week or 3 and be safe and sound........... and smooth and 1 color....lol.....:D
What color are you painting it ?
back factory color, I had a poll on southeastern fox bodies(http://www.sefb.net) and the factory color won out by 2-3 votes over silver....... kinda like it with the FR's on it.....
Nice car. Mine is in for paint as well. I went with a totally non factory color, but will look like the factory could've done it. You look as though you have a great platform to build on.
Hi and welcome!
I look forward to the completed photos. :)
looks great on those wheels, nice height too.
Thanks all, after paint I'll be doing a turbo'd 5.0L and a T-56 as well and then I'll be done.....I think......lol....
Welcome, It never ends.
You got that right......
I know, I been lazy about putting pics up.....and yes, I did tell him to take his time, but I miss my 'bird something bad!!!!!

Looking good!
Wow. I went to Mustang week last year as well. In fact, I was sitting in the grass at the mall, and I saw your car drive directly passed me. I began to go crazy because I saw one of my own kind! Haha. You may have saw a 17 year old jump up and down with excitement. I admired your car and was hoping to see it again, so I'm glad you joined the forum! Welcome!
Yea, I stay 45 minutes from Myrtle Beach so I'm there every year, and should be there this year maybe with all 3 if I can get the wife to drive the hatch... flag me down next time so I can meet ya! Always good to meet a fellow t-bird fan!!
I will post up some outside shots tomorrow, I'll be going up to help get it out the booth and back together......so about 12 eastern I'll try to post some pics up! Man I'm stoked....
Looking good Razzy...Are you gonna put the moulding between the wheels back on or leave it off? Im likeing that color too.
Moulding is going back on. I just don't like the slick look in between the wheels......
Here it is under the flash...

All I got done today.......didn't realize there were so many trim pieces to redo....
(http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv75/razzyswagon/IMG_20140421_141219_372_zpsgucl0mez.jpg) (http://s671.photobucket.com/user/razzyswagon/media/IMG_20140421_141219_372_zpsgucl0mez.jpg.html)
One pic?
Looking good man.
Double post.....yea. I disassembled the tail lights and refurbished them. That was a job! We did get those on the car and the quarter windows back in......
And yea.....only 1 pic......didn't roll it out because when we pulled the tape out the hood scoops one of them took some paint with it. They are gonna blend that spot....about the size of half a nickel, and re clear the whole hood.....thought the scoop would cover it but no dice.......darn it...
That is a great looking car! Love the wheels and overall look/stance. WE NEEDZ MOAR PICS!
OK then.....hood is fixed and bumper mouldings repainted and corner lights refurbished.....
