I moved my clock ('88 T-Bird) down to the lower panel on the lower right side of the steering column after lrngthening the clock wiring harness and opening the panel,and installed a tach where the clock was.By the way,if you don't like the wood grain dash panels,get some from another T-Bird and screw them on.Takes about 5 minutes with a phillips screwdriver.I also added Mustang seats,and a Cougar console with floor shifter.The 'Stang seats bolt right to the T-bird seat tracks with no mods.

Gray to black... http://ferdbird.com/87sport/interior.html

Plenty more to do, but one step at a time.

WOW!!! Way to go after it. I am sure nothing about this is bolt on, but the bolts will go where you want them to go anyway. The wiring looks like a challenge too, but I am sure you will have no trouble pulling it off. I don't think I would quite have the patience for that kind of thing. Keep up the good work. Jason.

Just had a thought...While your doing this radical mod you should cut out the passenger side and make it removeable so you can get to the heater core with removal of a few screws or clips. That would be awesome!! Jason.

I've done an buttstuffouge conversion, put in Taurus heater controls, and customized door panels. I have new black carpet, new headliner and TC seats.

Nice! I see you've also found out that the Smoke Grey interior paint doesn't exactly match the factory interior.

Don't know what's up with that, but every time I got the PPG paint matched to 1986-ish Smoke Grey, it was always too light and didn't have enough yellow pigment. I mixed my own up (added black and some yellow base) and got it closer but it was never exact. Still, it looks really nice all painted like that. I also like the emblems on the door panels. Nice job!
