Those mudflaps are cool, my first TC had them (88 with a McK bodykit no less :D ).

That color is going to be awesome!

Cool mud flaps, I'm keeping an eye out for some with birds on 'em.

Put the Bird mudflaps on, They look good in your sig pic. I only have Cougar ones on the rear, so when I sold my 86 I took them off of it. I have a set and a half. That car is going to look really really nice. I cant wait until we move into the different shop here at school so I can paint mine.

I wouldn't put those mudflaps on my bird.  Wrong Logo!  I'd get some ford ones instead.  A blue oval would be better, or if you could find the  older logo on a set that would be cool.

I have those mudflaps on my '88 that I installed in '92. They still look pretty good. I'm so used to them being on the car, I didn't even remember them until i saw your pic.
