A few pictures of my 5th bird. It's been a journey to get to this point.

50k original mile car from Michigan. Had more problems cleaning up some mouse induced damage than anything to do with rust.

Still a work in progress.

Thanks all....
It is always nice to get props from fellow bird owners.
The paint is not perfect, as it is original. I think the car had a sheltered life until the last couple of years where it lived outside in MI. There is some paint contamination (acid rain) that I have not been able to polish/buff out. But other than that and having to clean off all the "Rusty Jones" (a 1980s style rust preventative) overspray in the engine compartment, it is still a clean unit.

Vinnie.. I have the OEM Concepts 17x9 Cobra Rs with 245s up front and 275s in the back.

Screamin... it is more of a driver that gets to go to the show from time to time. I've no intention of racing it at this point. I go to the track about 3 - 4 times a year and when I do that it is with my S/C'd 03 Marauder or my 428CJ powered 67 Fairlane.

I'll get some pictures of the interior this weekend.

NICE! I've often wondered what my bumpers would look like with red inserts.....You've just given me even more reason to do it!

Very nice TC. I'd love to see the Fairlane and Marauder too. Is the Marauder's SC by Trilogy Motorsports? I know a guy who had a Trilogy SC'ed Marauder that could outrun a stock Ford GT in the 1/4 mile.

Pictures of

Fairlane before paint.....(428CJ, Dual Quad, 5Spd, 4wh Disc, 3.70 rear)
Fairlane after paint... (I still haven't gotten all the trim back on the car but I am getting close... then the interior needs to be done)
Marauder at a local show in Tucson... (Yes it has the Trilogy S/C but not as hot a setup as the one that was racing the Ford GT)
