Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #60 – April 27, 2008, 05:38:28 PM Nice work man...I know how it is putting up with these py indiana winters and then finally being able to get the car out. I've been driving mine quite a bit but it has exposed a few gremlins. Sweet car. Quote Selected

I'm missing one.Sorry, but I need a set of covers for the lights when they go on the '80. That car "needs" the white ones too, but it will get what I have.The car is tucked away for another couple days as it looks like rain, but most of the week is supposed to be nice, so it will be back out :D Quote Selected

Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #63 – April 28, 2008, 12:11:27 PM You da man Chuck! Thanks for the updates. Either color cover looks good on your car...don't think the yellow lenses would work on the 83 tho'How bout a picture with no covers?? Clear TS lenses, clear fogs...yea man...Rod Quote Selected
Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #64 – April 28, 2008, 12:21:09 PM I'm planning on using the yellows on the '80 most likely.Next time I take some "real" pics, I'll do some without the covers...but the are sooo cool though :hick: Quote Selected

Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #66 – July 25, 2009, 04:50:52 PM Well, nothing too exciting has been going on with the car as I've been busy with a host of other things, but I have been working on a little project lately...the rear bulkhead fit out.The rear deck and the former seat back are now in place.It's 1/16" ABS covered with some 18oz carpet I picked up online. I'm actually going to build a small frame for the ex seat bottom as I want to build in a couple recessed compartments to set things in if I need to.The headliner is coming out and being replaced (with a darker color) since it's starting to come down a bit. I just noticed that a couple weeks ago. Good thing I picked up 2 yards of charcoal material when I bought the stuff to redo the Scorpio headliner.The carpet is kind of nice in that it doesn't have any backing to it, so it's pretty easy to work with. I just installed it over the wheel wells there. Quote Selected
Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #67 – July 25, 2009, 04:54:39 PM Nice work,better looking than the Mustang's seat delete kit..I need to figure out how to make an insulated good looking cover for the bottom of the trunk lid. Quote Selected
Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #68 – July 25, 2009, 07:31:20 PM looks good chuck.are you gonna remove the front or rear glass to get the headliner out, or can you still weasle it out with the cage in there? i need to do sumthin with my headliner as well. Quote Selected
Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #69 – July 25, 2009, 07:36:34 PM Im definatly going to have to take a look at this thing in person soon. Quote Selected

I think he only has a bar (not extending past the door pillar in my terms :D) so it might be easier. Quote Selected

I should be able to wiggle it out. Good thing I didn't build it with a halo :hick:. I sure as hell don't want to remove glass...I also took care of those noisy rod end spacers on the control arms.

Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #73 – July 27, 2009, 06:25:12 PM How often do you drive this beast? Quote Selected
Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #74 – July 27, 2009, 08:35:26 PM Quote from: thunderjet302;284117How often do you drive this beast?Not often enough.I just drove it today, but it had been sitting for a couple weeks before that. The weather is supposed to be iffy the rest of the week, so I figured I'd better get it out. My parking situation makes it kind of tedious to get out of the garage, so I need to plan for it so I'm not late for work if I want to drive it in the AM :p Quote Selected
