Tx man,send me a PM with any question ya have and i'll try and answer them as best i can.
The cell antenna is actually kind of a trade mark of mine(on both my birds), it did actually have one of those old in car cell systems attached to it at one point(circa 1986)but i sped it years ago as it was too difficult and time consuming to change it into this car.
It was pimp though and people always used to ask me if it still worked(it had a corded in car reciever just like your home phone would.

1- Hmm, I must have messed up measuring because I measure from the middle of each bolt of the SSM lowers I have and compared it to the ones on the TC and they were both 18"s so I thought cool I can reuse my SSM lowers.



You did mis-measure.  The Tbird RLCAs are longer than those in the Mustangs. Not by much, but they are.

The TBird RUCAs, on the other hand,  are 1.125" longer.
