I like the color and the scoop just stands out. All around it is awesome, good work.

Worked out very well.. and the grille fill-in looks great, but you know you'll only be one-of-a-kind until someone here copies you. :p With how it came out, I could see that happening occasionally.. "just because".

So what's the deal with the Mark VII sitting next to it in the original pic? :p

That is nice:D . I'd love to see a pic of how the hood scoop works. I've wanted to make a functional shaker hood for my Tbird for awhile. BTW does the chrome script on the shaker say "Cobra Jet"?;)

my only gripe is the tires being too narrow for the rims
It's Gumby's fault.

Yes, indeed it does say Cobra Jet. :) But, no, there is no Cobra Jet IN it...maybe that will come in the future. Gotta save more money! LOL.

I have a cardomain if anyone wants to see more pics.

That is actually my Mom's car. It's a 1990 LSC. Has a lot of sentimental value to it. It hasn't been driven for over a year. It's been in storage since last November and is prob gonna be for a while, unfortunately....

I hate to say it, but right now I'm favoring Mark VIIs slightly over T-birds and Cougars. I'm thinking it's due to the ones in my possession more than anything.. the Mark is nice and comfortable and has a lot of options, and my '86 T-bird is rather bland by comparison. Perhaps if I got rid of the boat anchor under the hood and did a few things to it, I might rekindle my interest in the car. (I still want to turn it into a sedan delivery, but that's a LOOOOOONG way off)

Seeing this filled-in grille almost makes me want to reconsider my decision to get rid of my '88 T-bird. No, I wouldn't be copying you.. but I had something else in mind for it awhile back that I could see myself doing if I were keeping the car.
