Looks good, my 83 Heritage is dark blue like that. What is your issue with the chrome strip? peeling/cracking? Its fine on my 83 but junk on my 86 XR7 and would be interested to hear your plan.

Oooo...  Ahhhhh...  Beautiful!  Is it the 7F twighlight blue metallic from the later birds?  I plan to paint mine about the same color.  It really does look good on the earlier birds also!

That looks fantastic! My 1978 Thunderbird was almost the exact same color. Bluebirds are cool.

I hope the chrome strip is all you mess with. It's perfect.

Thanks for all the compliments!

Any idea on how to "brighten" up the chrome strip?

I was told that you can "cut" the old strip out and install a new one? The thought of cutting scares me. Looks like its all one piece.
