New Member here! New thunderbird owner as well! May 18, 2009, 05:04:48 AM My name is Jay and I live in NCJust bought my first thunderbird. Its an 88 5.0 With an automatic. So far mods are flowmasters and a b&m shift kit but more will come as I learn more about thunderbirds and where to find parts. I have owned 27 foxbody mustangs, 79 and 80 trans-am, 72 chevy super cheyenne truck, couple of ford falcons, 87 iroc camaro, but currently in the Garage: 1971 split bumper camaro, tube chassis, 640ci big block w/8-71 blower, alcohol injected. pretty fast i guess1988 t-top mustang (never ending project) currently has no running gear. had plans on going big block but decided to build a 408 windsor1977 Ford LTD Landau, 460 w/C6 BIGGEST car I have ever seen! lolAnd finally as you know by now, 1988 Thunderbird 5.0Still learing all the different models/styles of a thunderbird but its all pretty close to a fox mustang. Will also be looking for some small random interior parts and HEADLIGHTS!!! I need some bad! I cant even drive the car at night! Thats pretty much it....looking forward to meeting and chatting with some of you guys! Quote Selected

One thing that some people have done here is a poice interceptor driveshaft or AWD aero star drive shaft. Quote Selected
