Well last spring while charging/jump starting my T-Bird to get it ready for the show season I didn't realize my stereo was on and blew my 2 10" rockford fosgate subs. It really sucked not having a descent sounding system last summer so I got a new set to install. I also bought a Kenwood head unit from the jy that look like new so I'm going to repace the JVC one I have now. Hopefully it'll work.

I'm also going to try something different with my interrior, mine is a Base T-Bird  and had the grey interrior, I've alread swapped the seats for the raven leather TC/Sport seats and a consol. Now I've bought a set of the upper raven panels, I'm going to put those in and leave the base lower panels. I think it's going to look good because the dash is two tone, dark on top and light on the bottom. So I think it'll tie it all in with it and also with the two tone exterrior.

And of course my yearly detail.

Been a while since I posted here. So far on my list for the rest of winter:



Put all that stuff on this weekend.
I already have my headers mounted so, trailer it to the exhaust shop and get that done. Buy some new rims with rubber. Drive it for the summer.

Work on the interior. Someone before me really did a hack job on the poor car. They were trying to make it into a hotrod.
Judging by the trim pieces that are torn up someone didn't know how to use a screwdriver :asshole:

This summer is mainly the rear end, cuz thats what my tax return covers :hick:

-Upgrade to 8.8 inch rear
-31 spline axles
-Detroit locker or any good posi type
-Ring and pinion (Still deciding on what gear ratio)
-C-clip eliminators
-Blow proof reinforcing cover
-New brakes and lines
-new yoke, bearings, seals, yada yada yada
-Custom fabbed braces
-Coil over setup
-All control arms and bushings
-custom fab ladder bars or slap bars or something lol

After that the next main thing is to find a rich old woman, make her my suger moma, and get my new 331 ci forged short block and throw a blower on it. :punchballs:
