Well, it's almost the icing. The hood is what I'm rebuilding the whole car around. That will be the big focal point. Can't wait.

That spoiler looks pretty good Vinnie. Subtle touch. Jazzes up the severly dated look of the rears of these cars

It looks a lot better now than when those pics were taken. He's done a lot. He said he's finishing the prep on the jambs tomorrow, then it'll be ready to prime. He's also painting the other trunk lid and leaving it as Ford made it in case the spoiler version just doesn't work for me. I won't know til it's painted, at home, and re-assembled.

Looks good either way. When my car gets painted itll be one of the semi gloss black along with the center portion of the hood n stuffs. I think your car would look great with a semigloss undertoned colorbreak. Fantastic wor so far props to your body man Vinnie

Thanks a lot. As far as any stripes or semi gloss accents....can't do it. I'm going for a whole new look, and trying, although mildly, to bring the look up to a slightly more current feel. body colored mirrors and trim, black molding strip instead of red or chrome, and a darker color green than before to help tie in the amount of green there will be, and, let the natural lines of the car (with the big hood scoop and trunk spoiler as well) show off when the light hits it. NOW, that is all in my head, so hopefully my vision will reflect the finished product. I want the Sport to be able to sit next to 10 other Fox Birds and not look like any of the others, but not look over done or stupid. These cars can't handle the exterior mods that a Mustang can. A lot of things just don't "fit" visually. So I have to be careful with this. None of this car's re-re-build has been done without a lot of thinking, drawings (I do that), and re-thinking. I have a good friend here on the forum I run my ideas across for a second opinion because we think a lot alike on these matters. he always gives an honest answer, and so far, I think he has agreed with most all of my ideas, which tells me I may be right. LOL.

Hmmmm....updates....well, it's looking like two more weeks. He has finished the trunk lid which took a while, and is finishing the door jambs. After that, primer, sealer, paint, clear, buff. I'll try to get a few pics Monday.

I too am excited. I miss the Sport. Once the Bird is back home, re-assembly, pinstripes, looooooooong slow cruise everywhere.
