There's an interesting looking '87 T-Bird at this site:

http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/60518_1994_ford_thunderbird/index.html

Note the header panel and the ground effects... I've never seen either.

"Brandl managed to fit a twin-throttle-body-injected 6-71 blower on his 4.6, and swears the Fox runs 10.60-something at 130-odd miles an hour. (No cage means that track management gave him the boot, but not his timeslip, so he’s not sure to the last decimal point.) Body changes include flaring the rear wheel arches out a couple of inches (nearly invisible unless you know the car’s lines cold and are looking for it), a cowl hood, full ground effects, and some of the subtlest pearl red ghost flames we’ve ever photographed. (It took 15 minutes of maneuvering and a brace of filters to get the flames to pop for photos.) The quality of workmanship is flawless, and as a rolling billboard for Brandl’s shop—Superior Custom Classics of Hudson, Florida—it works admirably."

Sorry if this has been posted before.

The grill is a custom piece and i have seen the ground effects before just can't remember the name of the company.
