Looking pretty slick.  The treatment on the grille/headlight buckets looks pretty good.

Now if you could just stand still while taking the pics ;)

Am I the only one who sees this picture and thinks 'raise the rear 1-2" then add chrome side pipes'?

Heh, yep, you're alone.  I never think 'raise the rear'.  I dunno.  I guess I just don't dig that sort of stance.

Carl, car looks awesome.  Those wimpy 14's were pooping all over your new paint job.  The turbines make finish it out nicely.  Very clean car.  In a word, Awesome.

My suggestion would be to go get some of the longer lug nuts, so that the heads are visible through the center caps, it makes a suprising difference.
It's Gumby's fault.

Aw yeah, Shawn's right 'bout that. I believe they're known as the long-shank, tapered seat 1/2" lugs. You can buy a set of genuine OEM lugs and locks from Summit Racing under the McGard brand. Be forewarned though: no matter what you do, the chrome will eventually split and they'll look all rusty. Glad I picked up a set of custom stainless steel long shank lugs when I did... ;)

Anyway Carl, car looks GREAT! Very clean man.

Yea, the guy that put the tires on suggested I buy them, but they were 2 dollars a piece and the tires were already $250 so I said I would get them later hahaha. I am low on funds as it is, and I know every Cougar/T-Bird Enthusiast knows what I mean!!! :hick:

Anyway, thanks everyone for all the good comments and praise! :D
