Hi Peoples :) Here's a link for the build I'm doing on my T-bird. It's just easier this way. Constructive comments welcome and appreciated. :smoke:

I love the 83-86 tbirds. Good luck. Lose the mitsubishi wheels.

[1BadT-bird]

Thanks, lol, ya they are going. They won't work with the 13" brakes I'll be running.

John,

looks like a fun project. Nice progress too...I know your not keeping the wheels, they look like their off and Ol favorite of mine..The turbo Conquest..lol. It looked fat body right out of the box...and for its time was not bad on performance.

How much does this bird weigh? just curious.

Ya, either that or the Starions. On the weight.... I've never weighed it. I should though once it's back together

Built the same year T-Bird years ago with a blown 331 stroker motor. 621 RWH.....Love that year body and being a Fox Body car, easy to buy parts for. By the way, nice work.

[1BadT-bird]

Body parts are getting harder to get though :( as is door seals and window moldings/felts.
Thanks, I'm plugging away at it.
