I am so ready to do the carpet and headliner. I am thinking of going with a dark gray or charcoal carpet and getting extra yardage to do the lower doors, armrests and rear package shelf. This car is not ever going to be a "correct" restoration because I like things personalized much more.I have to think about replacing those window wipes real soon!Another idea if you havent thought about it yet is Topez/Tempo window channel. Since you have vent windows it wont be a problem.http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=8969 Quote Selected

I remember reading somewhere about them, but can you still get them new? Because all the used Tempo ones I have seen are trashed just like the Tbird ones. Quote Selected

Delete Reply #140 – October 13, 2009, 11:43:11 PM I finally completed the ignition module relocation to in front of the radiator support. I bought a new TFI module to use with it and gutted the old one to solder the distributor pick-up wires into it and reinstalled it to use it as a connector and to keep the distributor sealed around the pick-up terminals. It was interesting making the new three wire harness to go from the distributor to the relocated module which involved a roll of black stranded wire, standard female blade terminals, heat shrink tubing, flexible black wire conduit and of all things regular aluminum foil that I wrapped generously around the wires to protect them from interference. Looks like most of my restoration project is at a stand still for now as money is tight. I wish I was getting this car on the road much sooner. There is still the issue of the catalytic converter overheating and some tapping noises in the engine. That engine I know must need an good overhaul by now. I wish I was feeling optimistic right now.

Delete Reply #141 – November 20, 2009, 08:41:33 PM I am getting an idea for the Tbird's dash pad. Last time I went to Pull-A-Part, I was pulling stuff from a 1986 Lincoln Continental and I liked the deeply hooded dash pad, so I am thinking of going back and getting that one and seeing if I can adapt it or making a new one of my own. The original dashpad on my Tbird is a disaster. The deep hooded dash pad of the Continental reminds me of how the 1964-66 Tbirds used a deeply hooded dash top. I saw something else I liked. The tuxedo black pearl on the 2010 Ford Taurus! I am getting an overload of ideas for this car when it comes to finishing time!Right now I am on an absolute standstill working on the Tbird until I can afford to do more. Quote Selected

I want a pair!They are awesome and fit much better and look better than the first set I bought... You can also use different colored bulbs for the halo rings or use the colored gel caps that come in the kit. Eventually I would like to swap out all the bulbs for LED's! Quote Selected

Delete Reply #149 – November 20, 2009, 11:42:20 PM Those lights are cool. I've never seen lights like those. Do outer edges actually glow like that when the markers are on or is it the camera? Quote Selected
