  Was that scoop originally from an SVO?  Looks like you've modified it a bit.  I like it!


Yes, I repaired an SVO that had been hit in the front but the scoop section of the hood was not damaged. We cut out the scoop and centered it on the Tbird hood(it was offset on the Mustang hood)..the lines of the scoop were extended slightly up front to match up with the longer tbird hood. I had this scoop for a while and had always intended to try it on a Mark VII but after building so many Mark VIIs I got a little burned out and decided to do a Turbo Coupe and this scoop had lines that complimented the Tbird hood so I decided to try it.

Really clean car. Oh man it looks nice! How about the front air dam? Any chance you would share how you made it or possibly make a few for us to buy? I really like how it goes around the corner. Please, please, please....Thanks.

Aha!  It all makes sense now.  THis is your site: http://www.svpu.com/index.html

I knew a T-bird with those wheels looked familiar.  I think I saw it before you made the hood though.

I love the series of LSC-Rs  Very nice.

The Front air dam is from an '03 Mach 1 Mustang  ;) . Ofcourse I had to modify it to make it work. I am not finished completely yet as I have a bracket to fabricate for the middle. The downside is that as low as my car sits that spoiler is a problem at times with ground clearance :D

Yup, that's me...Thanks! I burned out on building Mark VIIs so I decided to play with the Turbo Coupe for a while. Lots of different projects going on around the shop right now so there will be some interesting stuff coming out soon :D

Paul, i was actually thinking about trying the same thing with the chin spoiler, glad to see someone actually try it

you think the ones meant for the 94-98's would fit any better?
It's Gumby's fault.
