well, I just stripped the vinyl roof off, tore all the chrome off the front end, and removed the rear light trims. I think I might make a custom billet rear narrowing channel so the lights get a super slim profile, and I will back fill them with acrylic sheeting and do away with the stock lenses.

The lower valances are removed, and now I need some snazy turn signals and running lights, just donno what to use yet.

I removed the mirror, and replaced it with a Harley Davidson Cycle low profile mirror (on both doors)and it looks rad.
These are them. I paid 44.00 each though ... WOO WOO ! its good to know yer prices ;) http://www.ridegear.com/cgi-bin/Soft...a96+1053489802

next step is custom shaved door handle releases, and I decided to shave the trunk lock too..... that is going to be an interesting ordeal..... kinda at a loss fer ideas unless I devise a pull chain or something to release it.


Car will be Metalic MONEY green upper and raly black lower. I might paint the bumper too.. its ASTRONOMICAL what they want fer a rechromed bumper. Best I could find was @ Keystone for 375.00 ... too rich fer my blood. Ill likely paint it GREEN body color and do a real clean chrome trim line on it in mylar and continue that line along the body to the Thunderbird script. I might even put it on the front quarter panels, but thats up in the air.....
