That's probably the best looking soft top I've seen used on these cars. The interior and wheels are from my personal choice of style though! Lol
...and there was light!

i think it cool. that someone has put that much time in money in a fox tbird. it may not be something we all like. but he/she has a passion for for that car to put that much work into it. i'd buy if money abundent. keep it with all the other tcs/tbird/cougar i want to have as to show a variety of styles.
now i would never build one of these, but still think it awesome some one used a TC

Not to play games with the R word, just looking beyond "why would this be a problem"...... so here are THE FACTS.

If big b had said the following, you likely would not have reacted this way or even responded at all.......... but you chose to selectively enforce the rules based on your slective opinion of what you consider racism based on little or no facts at all.
Willing to bet my bank account that a grandmother owns that one...
Willing to bet my bank account that a canadian gentleman owns that one...
Willing to bet my bank account that a german gentleman owns that one...
Willing to bet my bank account that a irish gentleman owns that one...
Willing to bet my bank account that a british gentleman owns that one...
Willing to bet my bank account that a austrailian gentleman owns that one...
Willing to bet my bank account that a russian gentleman owns that one...
Willing to bet my bank account that a redneck gentleman owns that one...


Its a basic fact that the odds are very strong that someone of the african or mexican decent would lean towards that level of creativity in decorating cars.  Look at all the bright color use in mexico and in the african communities, or even the latino demographics, they are a culture of decorative nature , the chineese put all of them to shame with respect to decorations in my opinion.  Some of this in my opinion would be considered clashing or "over decorating"
Furthermore, the odds of that car being owned by someone of mexican decent is high, that being the case, you actually confirmed by coming back wtih your comment.  You knew the possibility existed yet you decided that based on your selective rule enforement, you would chastise someone for breaking your rules and playing with race card bait.
It would only be natural that a car be an extention of someones cultural background, and that brings me to my point below.

you are entitled to your own opinionis but you are no way entitled to your very own selective set of facts.

I completely agree on you with that but, Big B has been posting D bag comments in a few other threads.

well, facts are facts man, and after counting chickens,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I only see three posts that imply some conflict across 58 posts, two of which were between him & Tom Renzo.  Tom set him straight and that is that.

The use of the term "few" in your reply in describing someone with only two threads with any degree of a slight towards someone else still puts big b at a 97% success rate of civil conduct.  I personally think its too early to act this way toward a new member.,,but i guess nipping it in the bud is a choice someone can choose to make.

With that said, we will all try to be perfect and hope we come even close to being so 97% of the time and still stand risk of being called a Dbag.

I'd take the exterior lighting fixtures, the bumpers and the body kit along with the hood. I'd un-hoopty them over in the body shop and put them to proper use. Maybe the cluster and column too.  the rest should be sold at a flea market.  I never though I'd see a fox bird that would make me throw up in my mouth like this.  Not my style. Just sayin.

I have always liked lowriders (even though I would never build one).  Lots of money and creativity involved.

These are not selective facts, and i will not get into a debate about what i was raised to believe was proper and not, to each their own.  Here is the plain and simple. BigB had just left several uncalled for and unhelpful comments in a different thread. I responded in a mature manner, and then i find my way here, and then see the "Mexican" comment.  I took it at its worst connotation, as it seems that is the direction his posts are taking. Maybe i jumped the gun.....but, if i apply your thought process about "Its a basic fact that the odds are very strong that someone of the african or mexican decent would lean towards that level of creativity in decorating cars".  Is that true of Jews who are very good bankers? Or African Americans who excel at sports?  Is it conceivable that a non-hispanic individual could possibly be responsible for that car? Whether in your enlightened opinion you are a bigot or not, your statement is more offensive than the original post.

Yes, quite abit. I'm not racist whatsoever, other than against morons/trolls like Tom Renzo. There was nothing racist about pointing out a conclusion pretty much anyone would have came to after looking at that car.

Bleeding Heart much???...lol
