Thanks for all the kind words about the Torino. She is a rare beauty.....but the T-Bird is going to be right up there with her when i get done with her.

Who says? I still wear aviators, and was looking for a jacket similar to that when I had my Mustang.

The pic is awesome.

Fair enough I have a pair of aviators. Much better than those white Oakley's.

Cool Torino.

Keep us updated on the progress of your Bird !

My very first T-Bird was a 83 Heritage w/TRX package, 5.0 and side markers and vent windows like yours. I got it in 1992.

Like yours, mine was in storage units for the last 10 years and I recently got it out and am converting it to a 1983 Mustang GT 5.0 H.O. setup, but with an AOD.

Alan, thats some list of rides you have! I decided i am keeping my Bird bone stock. No mods.....there seem to be so few survivor original cars, i cant bear to mod it. My paint scheme, in silver with all the bright work, grill, sideviews, and trim as well as TRX wheels, make the car a streamlined silver bullet. Perhaps i can find a 83-86 Fox body down the road and mod that one out.... My Torino and T-Bird are about all the wife can bear, and with a 7 year old and a new baby on the way, i cant surprise the wife with any new toys! I will post up some new pics on Monday night of the car in its current state.
Thanks for the kind words.....David

When I started fixing mine, It was going to just stay stock. Then I did a little mod here, a little mod there, and before I knew it, it's all new and modded, LOL
But to the untrained eye, it will appear stock until you look underneath.

Cool bird and very cool vert!! It seems like most guys have more than one awesome Ford product tucked away. I think old Fords are like potato chips, you just can't stop at one. lol. Can't wait to see more shots of the bird!!

Thanks! My hope is to get the Bird up and running by next season, but lack of time and funds are always a problem. (Baby on the way in December)
