T-Bird Resto/Mod UPDATE 3-16-18 Reply #271 – December 24, 2013, 10:52:27 AM Well this sucks :( I went to the shop where I got the dash and other parts from and the owner sent the the hull of the stang to the crusher. I hadn;t removed the center console and windshield braces yet. I guess that i'll be making a trip to a P-N-P to get them. If it warms up a little though. Oh well, there's ton more that I can do. :D Quote Selected
Long over-due Update. Sorry no pics yet Reply #272 – April 06, 2014, 06:17:02 AM I was able to get a little work done on my Bird. FINALLY! I got the hydro-boost unit temporarily mounted, (yes it's coming back off for cleaning and paint :D ) the ABS pump mounted and most of the brake lines ran. I still need to "massage" them slightly to fit better. I also started to lay out the body wiring harness from the donor-stang. Next I'll be taking the SN-95 dash apart so I can get it installed. I'll get pics up when I get further along with the wiring and brake lines.I'll be working on it again on my next days-off. Quote Selected
T-Bird Resto/Mod UPDATE 3-16-18 Reply #273 – April 06, 2014, 11:07:56 AM Every twist of the screwdriver and wrench is still one step closer to a finished car. My obstacles keep slowing me down, but the work WILL get done. Quote Selected

My obstacles keep slowing me down, but the work WILL get done.That is very true Mr Vinnie :D Which leads me to the next couple of pics. Few more pieces temporarily installed taken from the donor car. I still need to re-polish them before final installation. I wasn't to sure about using the natural finish trim pieces over the blacked out versions, but with the amount of "Sparkle" in the paint, I think I'm going the right direction. Quote Selected

T-Bird Resto/Mod UPDATE 3-16-18 Reply #277 – May 10, 2014, 07:50:59 PM I think the polished trim looks good and is the way to go. Is the trim on the four eye Birds stainless? Quote Selected

T-Bird Resto/Mod UPDATE 3-16-18 Reply #282 – May 28, 2014, 09:11:43 PM Interesting! I will have to remember that for when I finally paint my car. A good way to get rid of that prop rod. Quote Selected
T-Bird Resto/Mod UPDATE 3-16-18 Reply #283 – June 08, 2014, 11:43:38 PM I did some tinkering yesterday and today. I couldn't get a pic of the rods I made for the key door opener while it's installed. I'll remove one and get a pic of it. But they work easy and the door pops open slightly. I still have to install the door glass but I'm getting closer. I also worked on the engine, I changed the rear main seal that was starting to seep, I installed the pilot bearing and then installed the Fidonza flywheel and 11" clutch kit. I need to get a couple of pics of the flywheel/clutch setup. using my cell to post pics REALLY sucks :-( also, I was toying with this idea. Quote Selected
