That is one nice bird I love all the little touches
Any plans to tint the windows ?

Yes, window tint is happening as soon as I can, but I have to finish paying for a couple of other parts first.

Thanks Kitz. I'm trying to keep it mildly subtle. No graphics, no extra emblems (I actually deleted the radio antenna and c-pillar emblems). As far as the exterior, it's done.Under the hood and interior.....still getting that all done slowly but surely.

The wife says Why that color? Still resembles the little pinto!!  You were trying to copy that weren't you?

LOL. Pinto. LOL. The last color was closer, but not copying. I like the green because it fits the car, and if I ever run across some Fox T-Bird/Cougar crowds, it won't just look like everybody else's.

Daminc did the hood for me. Flawless work top and bottom. It looks like Ford did it. I am going to have a special part number for it and an "engineered by" emblem.

Coming along nicely Vinnie!  The more I see these cars with the side trim removed, the more I'm tempted to delete mine.  Once they've been removed a few times its hard to get them to stay on.  The chrome center molding is looking pretty horrid on mine as well.

Thanks a lot. The center trim, to me, makes it look like those old bumper cars with the black molding all around.

I appreciate you guys. Good family around here.

The Sport has come a LONG way with the help of the family here. Some of you ridiculing me til I submit (Not mentioning names.....KITZ), some with help over the phone to walk me through some kind of small trivial issue that was an ordeal to me. I appreciate all of you guys, and quite literally, I couldn't have built the car without you all, and the forum. Great place to be..

That hood is so spot on.

The hood is my favorite part of the whole car (thanks Jerry !!!), and was what I built the car around this time (still building actually0.
