Nice bling!
Too bad it’ll be hard to see .
We’ll be home late April/early May. I’ll have to get my Cobra out of mothballs and take a ride out to see you!

Rick, Let me know when you return to the frigid north!  Maybe we can find a car show midway?

Replaced the starter Saturday.  Nice to be able to drive the car again even though it's too hot out.

Also changed the read end fluid and put the jewelry on the rear end.  So far no leaks.

Yeah. The TBird is currently my only runner w/o AC. I'll drive it on warmer days if I'm sure I'm not going to get stuck in traffic, but it's gonna have to sit this week.  :yuck:

I took it out last night with the A/C on MAX!!!!   Tough to get the car going from a stop without stalling.  Gotta abuse the clutch a little more to get it rolling.  BUT man, does that old A/C blow cold air!  or it's just the small interior.

Edit: for S&G I did a walk around video of the car last night.

Nice vid. That trunk interior liner is nice!  Does he make them for 83-86 cars?

Thank you! 

I am not sure if he has gotten the chance to measure the 83-86 trunk lids yet.  I am certain he will work with you though.
here's the thread I made on the trunk
