      1986 T-Bird

      I remember seeing pictures of the T-Bird with this grille and ground affects when they were new and thinking it looked cool. I found this on ebay a few years ago and it was only about 30 miles away so I bought it. I started doing the bodywork than lost interest and it has been sitting outside for a couple of years. My other projects require a lot more work and money to finish so I thought I would finish this. I will be removing the V6 and adding a 302 and 8.8 form a Lincoln LSC.

      This is how it looked when I got it.





      Brian will have a little rust repair





      I sanded it down and primed it a couple of years ago

      The Super Coupe was the next generation T-Bird. I did swap the hood for an 87 Turbo Coupe.

      My Thunderbird has been overlooked to long so I decided to work on something you will never see the front and rear bumper support



      I cleaned them up and sprayed a couple coats of SPI epoxy

      Today I sanded and epoxy primed the front and rear bumper







      The front bumper will require a lot of sanding and priming
