The Sport should be home next Friday. I had to request the day off work so I can bring her home. With 12 hour shifts that week from Monday through Friday, and Thanksgiving the week after that, had to do it. Once the car is home, I'll swap the trunk hinge, install the trunk strut, rear light sequencer kit, Mach 1 chin spoiler and the rest of the interior panels. Doing the seals and 1/4 windows at the shop before it leaves, as well as the header panel and lights.

I have a LOT of parts and zip lock bags full of fasteners ready to be re-installed. Now, fundage is needed for other things for the car.

By the way, I have parts for sale in the classifieds. Feel free to buy them. LOL.

When are you swapping the intake: before or after you get the car back from the body shop?

3 scoops on the table there waiting for body color, along with another trunk lid, two gas lids, mirrors, and side trim pieces.

Good to see progress.

I've got a bit of stationary yard art to clean up, then hopefully after deer season and thanksgiving I can get my Birdy inside and finally make some solid progress.

When is the paint supposed to be shot Vinnie?

Paint starts Monday. The green goes over a black sealer, then followed by clear and a good wet sand and buffing.

The spoiler is a multi piece steel assembly welded to the trunk lid. I also will have the regular trunk lid to fall back to if I decide i don't want to use this one.

As I stated before, the antenna, c-pillar emblems, and trunk emblem holes have all been filled. The only body emblems will be the header panel Bird, and the Thunderbird script on the trunk lid. Since the side molding will be body color now instead of black, the chrome strip in it will now be black.
