new header panels? got backed into

June 14, 2012, 12:33:13 AM

hello everyone just wanted some help finding a replacement header panel for my 1988 thunderbird sport or lx style. My car was backed into by this stupid girl in her truck and now the whole header panel is cracked. i need a new grille too but i have that covered. I could only find one site with them but i dont know if theyre legit. what do you guys think? http://www.autobodypartsonline.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=14347&p_catid=977&sid=77CBJv2yT9nF05P-16112284315.cc Or Maybe one of you guys have one laying around? I just need a good one. Let me know! Thanks - Art

Where are you located? I happen to have a brown one I might be able to get you, but I really don't want to mess with shipping.

I was contemplating buying that one when restoring my car but i heard that they dont always align with all the body lines perfectly. A better bet would probably be to fin a wrecked one in a yard

I've got an aftermarket TC header on my bird, and the alignment sucks hard.

X2 on the used factory piece...you can fix it if it's the wrong color....a hell of a lot easier than you can if measurements are off.

And soul, if OP doesn't take your header panel, I'm interested in it. I'm also in North Missouri, but would willing to pay for shipping if you'd want to go for it....
