That is a fantastic looking TC!!  Do you have any interior or engine bay pictures of it?  Also, what did you do to polish out the headlights and corner lights?

dan,
I took the aluminum off an extra molding I had for like a month to make sure it wasnt going to "shrink" I didnt think it would and it did not. So I did it to all of them.......they look great

That is the best way to reuse the moldings. It works like a charm.

Your Turbo Coupe looks great. That Mark VIII color makes it pop more that the factory white ever did.

Sorry I've been on vacation and I haven't checked this in awhile.

I wet sanded with 2000 then went to 3000 and hand buffed them with meguires plastic polish. I've been using turtle wax ice on them after.

No interior pics yet. Its still in pieces and needs work. Engine bay is clean I wish I had before and after pics of it.

Thanks!

No man mine is Simialar to a cobra blue. If you look in the user rides section it's in there. It hasn't seen pa yet, but the first of August, it will be roaming around. The car is current in SC, a buddy of mine getting it all hooked up... I'm in Afghanistan and redepmoying the first part of July. Keep yours eyes open in August, I'll be in Ford City/ Manorville a lot. You graduated in 2005? My name is Clint. Btw.. beautiful engine bay lol
