Wow it's looking great! I wish I could drive mine but I have to wait about 3-4 months till the weather is nice and all the salt is gone. You people down south suck! :flip:

No burnout shots until the rear fender trim is on and possibly pin stripes,the doors jambs have been painted and the car has been rinsed off.It needs to be Banner worthy.

I got it from P-71 (Aerobird Motorsports) before he disappeared.I've had it for about a year and it's a perfect fit,and looks awesome.#m tape just like the factory..I saw some that is very similar at Pep Boys when I was bringing the car home from paint,but didn't really pay a lot of attention to it since I already had a roll..I think I have enough left for at least one bumper (possibly two).Do you want it,Jerry?If so,say the word.I owe you anyway for all your help.

What happened to the rounded rectangle tips?

BTW - Wasn't sure if I liked that green at first, but now that it's clean, the paint looks AWESOME.  Love the chin spoiler and the rear Tbird emblem on the trunk.  But we need some full 3/4 shots of the car!!!

Thanks a lot guys.I hope to get a little more done today.I'll also try to get a 3/4 shot soon.

The rectangle Australian Ford Falcon tips are long gone.I wanted the round tips because i got a killer deal on them (double walled chromed stainless),and they kind of match the tail lights.It all kinda "works together".

Here it is.Now remember,the actual lid as a whole is almost the same size as the stock lid,BUT,the actual door itself is smaller.

Hey Vinnie I'm really diggin that fuel door. Question though...were you able to retain the fuel door release function(button in the glove box) or is it manual operation now?
Also I love the thunderbird script on the trunk lid....looks so much better than the stock piece.

Manual operation now.I don't mind,I have to open it anyway.There is a version that is automatic,the door pops out and rolls forward.Wicked expensive,though.I can always buy a locking gas cap if I need to,but when it was on the other car,it was fine and I never had a problem.
