Show off the little stuff! Reply #135 – December 10, 2007, 06:10:03 AM Ok Lets Try This Again,Awhile back I posted some pic's in the "post your wheels " section and mentioned that I had plans for my Birds. Well heres some shot's of whats going on lately. I rebuilt my 87 Turbo motor with alot of goodies in it. A wooden roller cam, oversized valves,dual springs,ported and polished the dog, Bob's log, polished the upper and lower intake,46LB injectors,press regulator,65MM throttle body,A lil 50 shot of nitrous,msd ignition,distributor,rev control and braided lines from hell. I added a T-3 to it which you see now but found a nice Chrome plated one on ebay last week and am awaiting on it to arrive now to swap them out. Once thats in I can install my huge aluminum intercooler setup, finish running my lines and see if this puppy will fire up. Moved all the wires under the fenderwells,including all the electronics,solonoid and the battery which is mounted under the left hand fender. Polished the ac drier and plan on running all those lines in braid as well. A buddy of mine mixed the paint I used on the engine bay and my engine which he claims is from the code in my doorjam. I have to say I cant remember any Fords being this color back then but who knows, maybe he threw in some goodies into the paint when mixed. The color goes off in the sunlight, pearlish appearing sorta.Sorry for posting this in the wrong place earlier and sure I'll ditch the Fram just for you, I'll post some completed pic's in a week or so after it's done. I Hope it's satisfactory for you guys and pardon the dust :-)Music Quote Selected

I found a nice 557CI big block for it so it was time to rear-half the car. Heres a few shots of whats going on till then, been kinda hard doing both Birds at once but with no wife,no kids but a great dog what else do I have to do all day. :-)Music Quote Selected

Show off the little stuff! Reply #138 – July 25, 2008, 10:15:50 PM My falisafe is if the car is painted normal color like Red, blue , black, green, those colors go good with just bought any color in the interior and motor it makes the interior and motor stand out more but if your with like a a Exotic colr like Purple, Yellow, Orange, those colors the interior needs to be plain like black, same as the car. Pianting your wheels or having chrome wheels will make your wheels stand out from the car sometimes. Heres what I mean. Normal Colors Car Color-Interior Color-Motor Color-Wheel color. Reds Light Red-Tan,Black, Red- Red,Dark Blue, Black, Gold,Yellow,Silver-Polished Aluminum or White. Medium Red-Medium Red, Black or Dark Gray- Black, Red, Blue, Gold,Yellow,-Flat Black or Chrome. Red Matlic or Dark Red-Red or Black-Blue, Black, Gold,Yellow -Flat Black or Chrome. Quote Selected

Just remiber these are my personal preferances and these are not colors that I would do if I was going to paint and do a custom car. So if you don't like these color sceems tell me what u would do.
