Oh dear God, someone please call for help, or put that poor Tbird out of it's misery already.

I once saw a Fairmont 4 door with a Stang clip, and it was well done, it was in MM&FF a few years ago, but that shiznit looks like a Mustang took a dump on the front end of a Tbird.

actually if that was done correctly it might not look that bad IF more attention was spent to blend it all in. Capri fenders I doubt match tbird doors at ALL.

That thing is absolutely ugly, and absolutely pointless. If you want a Mustang with Capri fenders, build a Capri with a Mustang front clip and save yourself a lot of work and a couple hundred pounds. At least it'd look good...
