1986 T-bird restoration in progress.... Second restoration!!!!"Picture update"

June 25, 2008, 10:09:37 AM

I have had my bird in primer for 8 years now so december of 07' I decided to finish her. I have run into unexpected problems like MONEY and dents that were not present 8 years ago lol. But finally I have gotten to the point that it is finally ready for paint, but now the money part the paint has gone up a lot. These are some pictures but most are on 35mm but these will do. I also put the car on a diet I have dropped 91lbs from the car by new bumpers and sound deadening stuff. Tell me what you think sorry for the link to many pictures to shrink and post.

lookin good.
Are you using that shifter with the stock bird console?
Do you just use the shifter boot with it?

the funny thing is that it has been that way since I did it 9 years ago. I will make a new console or make the original one fit but I am having trouble with the back seat being red and not being able to find any door run seals

A few more pics, I just finished up my custom bumper reinforcement with 1x1 aluminum square tubing now weighing 7lbs. I added 12lbs with the compressor and horns I needed a little something to keep people from hitting me when it's painted.
