Very nice indeed.
nice bird, i like the grill idea. :nod: welcome to the boards.
Is that grill ornament off of a mn-12 bird? I dunno if I like the yellow that much, but I do give you props.
Nice T-bird. I kind of like the yellow. I think it would look really good if you put some kind of stripe on the outside of the car.
Something like an arrow or something... like...

Please excuse the lousy quality and cheesyness of the stripe. Just trying to give the basic idea of it.
Uber madd mspaint skillz there fred.
Sweet. Do you have a pic of the LED tail lights? I would like to see what they look like all lit up.
just so everyone knows i toned down the yellow on the dash there is not as much, not sure how i want to change it yet so i put some of the brushed alum parts from the turbocoupes for the mean time! ill put up the new pics today
i like the dash, though not the yellow, very nice looking car, and I agree that grill is pretty stoss. it looks real mean, and it is a nice subtle change.
times?
Nice bird now please proceed to auto zone and purchase some black vinal paint.
were did you purchase your hood? and do they make anything larger the a 6"
aren't they though :hick:
Looks nice :D . You have an engine pic?
sweet dude. i like the grill delete as well. the yellow isnt for me but ya cant please everybody. welcome aboard.
Sleeper the hood is from mpmotorsports.net in florida if they dont carry bigger than a 4" im sure he will make it!!
I dislike the yellow. It makes the cheap plastic dash actually LOOK like cheap plasitc. Otherwise a fine looking specimen
If you're keeping the yellow, I think the stripe on the outside might balance the bright interior. Good to see a n00b that actually has mods done and isn't asking "how can I make my v6 go 12 sec 1/4mi."
Nice job!! I like the yellow. Maybe not on the dash though. That turbo coupe header panel looks great on there.
I have the same hood. I bought it from a member here. It is the same company. Mine is a lift-off.
Now about the yellow. I don't like it. It makes it look cheap. The rest of the car is cool though. I dig how you filled in the T-Bird emblem.

Well, you can't please everybody with your color schemes...either way, nice bird man.
My only complaint is with the hood...the corners look like they flap up in the front and it doesn't maintain the center line. One more reason for me to get going on my cowl hood project.
Well, you can't please everybody with your hood schemes...either way, nice bird man. :D

ok just so everyone knows i have taken most of the yellow dash stuff out .. im gettin tired of it!

The hood is a little out of adjustment from the last accident!! i had it lined up before just need som adjustments!! dont worry ill make it nice aagain
They are by far great people to deal with!!

As everyone has been saying, im not a fan of the yellow, but i do give you props for doing something different, and not being pen 15y about it. Most guys who do stuff like that comment on it and act like its gods gift, i like how you didnt mention it. Keep it up.
I know you removed some of the yellow, but i still had to comment.
about mp- mike and pam sold the business, it's run by different people now. don't know how many of you remember my old black 85 460 bird, but mike made the 4" cowl for me( i had the first one) and sold quite a few. my car used to be on their site.
