Fresh Tbird pics (56k warning) VIDEO DONE!

I finally got around to a BIG cleaning on the Tbird...the first one I've done since spring/early summer.  I snapped a few pics and I hope you all like them!  I think they're some of the best shots of my car I've ever gotten.  Sorry, I couldnt bring myself to downsize them too much :hick: .














I've done quite a bit of cleaning on the engine compartment.  As you can see by the nice, white passenger side shock tower and the top of the firewall (look lower on the firewall to see how the top used to look ;) ).  Oh and Carl, I used that stuff you showed me.  Anyways, it still needs a lot of work, but it's getting there!  I plan to paint the air box and the plastic tube soon; that should help clean it up a lot.

PS - My friend and I plan to do more filming for my youtube video tonight, so stay tuned!  :evilgrin:


EDIT:  Got the video pretty much finalized now!  Let me know what you guys think!

Actually, I might be working out a deal soon for some Turbines.  :)

Wheels arent my top priority yet.  If the deal comes along, I'll get some, but if not, I'm in no rush.  I need to get my dad's friend's power washer and clean out my engine bay more.  I can only get to so much by hand with some paper towels and Wesley's Bleche White haha.

Alrighty, I'll keep that in mind.  Anyways, it's like 75 degrees outside, the sky is clear blue, and my car is shining great.  It's time for a short cruise before tonight :) .

HAHA pwn3d!!!!
 
Wow looks real good man. I say keep the 8-holes. I like em on the birds a lot. Your choice in the end gotta do what looks good to you. I gotta clean my engine bay. Its alright but theres dirt on the towers and firewall and stuff it would look a little more spiffy if I got rid of it. My upper intake should probably be painted Yours looks brand new, they stand out a lot when they look good and help the overall look a great deal.

Yeah the painted intake really helps.  If you noticed, we also painted the EGR, IAC, and TB to match it.  Then for the 5.0 HO plate, we painted the 2 screws blue that go in the blue stripes and the other 2 silver that go in the metal part.  I love details like that.  Thanks for the compliments.

What do I need to get Vinnie?  Any particular brand?  What should I look for?  I've been wondering how to clean up the hoses and stuff.
