[rightfullrudder]

Looks sick, and the paint is in surprisingly nice shape. I've spent an unreasonable amount of time browsing craigslist for both these things and super coupes.

[Ferenza]

[richbasv]

[StaticG]

Would love to own that Keep it up

[JagRacer]

this is awesome.

[Rocambolesque]

Haha this is so unique! Props for having the lowest Turbo T-Bird IN THE WORLD.

But what's up with those corner lamps though....

[xAHx]

Raaaaaaad.

[Skraight.]

Like what you are doing with it, keep it up!

The chrome around the windows is the only chrome on the whole side of the car. It accentuates the windows way too much.

Black the grille out too while you are at it.

I love that last picture.

I liked the wheels more before you painted them.
Don't black out the trim, it looks classy chrome.
18's are going to be huuggeee.

But I 100% agree on keeping the 2.3 turbo. I've seen those motors make 500hp on a stock bottom end (they don't last forever when pushed that hard) but then if you build a bottom end you can make insane numbers.
It's really unique, so why would you want to take that away by putting a 5.0 in it?

You've done well so far.
I really like this.

[CrackerTeg]

Dude, I guarantee you they are...I can take a picture of the stock brackets that hold them if you'd like? I think they are ugly too but removing those brackets is just way more work than it's worth

Mine are ford stock replacement fogs. All turbocoupes had them. some clear and some blue tinted

Well I'll be damned. See? I'm not versed in the blue oval.

[rice4life]

Get some yellow lamin-x for those fogs.

The car is definitely unique, I actually like it. Thats the only car I've also ever seen with seat covers that match the interior, and not some stupid flame design, or crazy yellow.
