Thanks man i gotta have a T-bird again where everyone knows who it is but right now it still looks nice enough to stop by car shows and what not. As far as 1 color is easy but 2 colors is a little bit harder to do right and 3 colors can be done right but is to much for most people.

Used my old spoiler and deck lid off the old car also has Acspoogeat under it so makes for a nice ride with a little less noise.

Vinne is right i think i can get the car painted and body work and the paint and other stuff all done for under $550 or close to that. So do i care what the banks car looks like hell no as long as its not rusting or missing paint Should get it painted maybe start of next year.

The car used to have a 347 and run 12s now its got a 302 and runs good but no where near what is used to so i got to upgrade the whole  motor and repaint the car and change out some stuff at least get the car running 14s or 13s. But if it still had the 347 i am not sure if i could of got it so cheap.

I know how the car will look when its done in my mind so i could careless what it looks like now the car is only half way done or less.

Oh,no apologies needed.My Sport will be probably the best looking Bird here.LOL.Seriously,I have some cool plans for the Sport,and I think it will make everyone proud.The exhaust will be very unique,and I have a few more plans as well.As far as pics go,I'll take a couple this evening or in the morning and try to get them posted.If ONE person laughs,I'm going to drive to wherever you are and kick your A$$.LOL.Actually,if you didn't have pity I'd be surprised.Work in progress.Stay tuned......When the Sport is finished,I'll make a fool of myself showing it off.

When the cougar is done i will show it off all the time or take it out drag racing. When the T-bird is done it make a good daily driver and still be able to take it to a car show or go race it. Then after that is done i must either get a lincoln mark 8 LSC or get lucky and find the baby blue mark 7 bill bass in town has a hood scoop and chrome cobra Rs and its for sale again and fix me up a Hot Rod lincoln.

Vinne the T-bird will have to look better than Hawks blue TC for me to even start having any Envy. Almost my new 88 T-bird i got now is the main reason i fixed up my old car and my wrecked 87 was in my family for 11 years so i do like 87-88 T-Birds a lot. But i know Vinne will bust your @$$ working on the car and will blow all your Ca$h fixing it up so it might be one of the nicest around ever.

I blow my Ca$h passing by the gas pumps and rarely stoping to fill up. At least its gone down some this month here like 15 to 20 cents. But Amarillo does have the highest prices in Texas most of the time like 9.5 times out of 10 or more.
