New to the site, Two 'Bird owner

Hi.

Was getting ready to drag out my two T-bird projects, this site looked like the best for info, advice and ideas.

Looks like I was right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~


-88 standard V-6 T-Bird, AOD (plans for a V-8 swap, lots of suspension and cosmetic mods, street car)
 
-87 5.0 LX, AOD (nicely optioned, low milage, been sitting, got it dirt cheap, would like to fix it up mostly stock with some minor  personalized touches)





I'll post more pics after I get them out of the thick and cleaned up a bit.

FOXLESS!!

I feel your double angst. 
 
Welcome aboard.  Yours ain't four-eyed, but they're Foxes.  That'll do.

Welcome.  the 5.0L swap in the 3.8L will be easy, I have done that before...  I also swapped a 5 speed in at the same time.  had it up and running in a day.

Actually, I have a 4-eyed project too, it just isn't a 'Bird

Cool! I know who to bug for advice!  ;)

I've actually been up to my eyes in Ford projects lately ('98 & '00 Crown Vic Interceptors, the above '83 ragtop Mustang, a '78 Mustang II Mach-1, '69 1/2 & 70 Mavericks, and a 64 Galaxie 500 2-dr.)....got some Chevies too, but the Blue Ovals have been getting all my time, might as well keep with the theme since I'm already in it.

Thanks again, everyone

Welcome! You've come to a great site, alot of good people here and alot of knowledge as well. I see your Mav. has a Grabber hood, is it one? My parents had a grabber when I was a kid, I wanted it to be my first car but they felt differently.
