83 T-Bird face lift Reply #5 – July 14, 2007, 10:06:56 PM Sorry to hear that you won't make it to CJ...I feel for you. Hopefully perhaps the result will be well worth it. I'll be going to CJ, ratty clearcoat and all, and dropping it off at the paint shop as soon as I get back. Quote Selected

83 T-Bird face lift Reply #12 – August 01, 2007, 08:24:36 PM Just another update and more pics. I just got back from the body shop to check on the car. He will be spraying it tomorrow and I should be getting it back Sunday. After leaving the body shop,I look in the rear view and what do I see, a 4 eye Tbird behind me. It looked to be in real nice shape,the only bad thing was,it had side pipes on it...........blaaaaah. anyway these are the pics Quote Selected
