Whats the most influential Fox Tbird/cougar

My influences change from time to time, and depending on which car I working on. For darkthunder I would say Andrew B, Chuck W (I had those wheels first!!!) :D and John331/Dogcharmer influenced me the most. And for the 88TC (now in TC hell you rusty !) I really liked the way Tom's (TC50) white TC looked. Nice and clean. Too bad my TC was so rusty! And as for the current 87TC, Sleeper, cougarman, and Tbird232ci seem feed my imagination the most. Cougarman because he has the keys to my car.

I kid! :D

Actually he knows quite a bit about these cars, so I value his input.... Sleeper because that lo-gloss paint is awesome! Oh I wish I had the patience. You just never know what he's going to come up with next. If I had the dough, probably would have unintentionally copied Shawn's engine setup. His Bird is pretty sleeper-ish too. I hate to be the unsuspecting a-hole that meets him on the street.

Oh and there's C-Dub... who keeps stealing my wheel ideas... *sigh*

lol

Well, when I came here in 03 (I think) we were still on the EZ board.. I got on the chat function, boy do I miss that, The first few people that started talking to me were Tom(TC50), Crystal, Bob(Thunder306), and a few others.

Tom has been a helluva influence. His white bird is an influence and the first car I actually liked. (as you see the cars grew on me)

Crystal, She thinks outside the box. Her sport with the louvers and frenched antenna its just awesome. Oldschool implements on a newer age car that just worked.

Bob, the sleek look of black and chrome ponys.. cant get any better than that. One kickass lookin car.

and some others

Chuck W.. made me realize that there are better things than 5.0's

Shawn.. kept me from doing some really stupid shiznit in the first couple years.

Claude.. Helpin me through some problematic stuff I was having...

Nate, I got my headers off of him... and his car is completly killer and it isnt even done yet.

Carl- Good man that I got my HO upper and H-pipe off of.

and all the others.. we all make an influence on each others cars. The passion for these cars influence them in their own ways.

My '77 T-Bird I used to have.It was bought new by my parents and I bought it from them.That's what got it all started for me.It was silver with burgandy interior and pin stripes,351W.It was a great car.I wouldn't trade for my Sport that i have now.It's going to be my favorite of all my cars when i'm finished.

Eric,
Would be my motivation. I can't remember what year it was that I found COOLCATS. Actually a buddy of mine found it and knew I liked the cougar and told me about it.

I seen Eric's cougar and though" Hey there are other people out there that like cougars." I email back and forth with Eric when I was doing the black cat the 1st time.

So now my wife is adding all the receipts up for the new build to send to Eric for reimbursp00get. LOL

Thanks to all for the kind words.

Thanks to ERIC at cool cats for having a site that shows good ways to mod your car inside and out.

And that black cougar of yours makes me kinda want a SCT chip everytime i see the front window and with those nice ET times makes me want to keep my AOD.

The yellow cougar with the cowl hood and spoiler really stands out and if those 05 mustang wheels fit then some fanblades off the 06s might look good on a Aerobird.

If I remember correctly, I was searching for sequential tail lights when I came accross this site. I remember seeing Cyrstal's 87' sport and liking the color, then we had a GT come into the shop that was similar in color, and had some cool stripes, so I decided to paint mine that color. I know looking at Eric's car I got a bunch of hints from as well. I would still like to add some cool louvers that Crystal had on one of her cars also. But I contstatly pickup good ideas and info from most of the members here!

I know everyone else has said it, but I'm going to say it to, lol, I LOVE MINE the best. It makes me smile ear to ear everytime I look at it and couldn't dream for a nicer car. It's my baby and I'm finally getting it completed. But, I must say, there are A LOT of nice looking cars on here. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYONE!
