While I'll agree that both All Boss cars are great and the new Fords are pretty cool, I'd give my left one for Paul's car... with a manual tranny. Lee

Hy Bird is a tank before 40, and I'm sure that the 2.50 gears have something to do with it. But another thing is that my car, when puchased, never had a kickdown on it and I never bothered to put one on. While i hope that soon neither my edelbrock carb and my FMX will be leaving my car in...

I'd like to see any info on either setup, including prices on how much each setup costs. any info would be great. Lee

Guys, I'm going with a 90ish Chrysler LaBaron setup. I agree with Charles, the fast moving headlight doors are too cool! Plus, if it works well enough, i have dad's '79 and the '68 LTD has hideaways too... :nonod I can see i'm getting myself into more work already. Let me know if either of...

hey, An injected overdrive bird is cool! I love my big blocks, but 5.0s make great cruising moters on little gas. That's the way my dad's 79 will be going... once i paint it all one color, and do brakes, and get a new seat and... well, I will advise you that if you ever get a car your father...

Hello everyone, I am pushing my luck as I threw my t-bird together with the 17s, a new colulm and some new cables (shifter and speedo) and I am now back to using it as a daily driver and stacking on the miles to the tune of about 50 or so a day. I'm lovin it, except for that nasty snow Iowa...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has an upper seatbelt rail and motor for sale for a 90 LX, driver's side. I am trying to find one without any luck . I'm also looking for a power seat motor for the driver's side. If anyone has either for sale, contact me at [email protected]. Thanks, Lee

mike, sorry, no luck finding any plates for you, and i even cleaned the garage this last week! Hammer them out, they'll be fine. Lee

Chris, Sounds like fuel, but paul is right timing is an important thing. my advice, a new fuel pump and filter is cheap insurance... Lee

Cool car, pretty clean, I'd love to hear plans for it. But I kinda gotta agree with mike, that hump looks like it came of an early 70't thunderbird, but hey, if it's all original or not, it's a cool, clean car. Lee

I yanked mine off a spare set of shafts I pulled from one of my parts cars. I 'll look this weekend and see if I have any spares. Lee

Jim, Talk to Gearworks up at the 77-79 forum about your gears. He knows more about 9" axles than i could ever imagine. Lee

I got an idea! :eek: could i use the clutch/ brake pedal assembly, and/or linkages out of my dad's 1967 Ford LTD parts car? He's gutting it anyway, does anyone know if they'd work? Even if I had to cut the pedal part off and fabricate pedals to work, is it even possible? Or does anyone want...

Hello, I would also like to figure out a way to scan pictures with a scanner (the college's scanner, of course) and let the world see how a brown 78 thunderbird with a spot of rust, a ripped seat, and a 300 horse 400M looks like on 17s. Please, will someone tell me and Jim? Lee

No mike, if you put a 50 oz. flywheel on, you'll shake your engine apart! You need to find a 28 oz flexplate iwith the correct dimentions of a AOD flexplate. AOD flexplates have a different dish to them or something, but i am sure that it is diffent. You can't run a factory 50oz AOD flexplate...

I checked on Year one's website... no pedals found. Any other ideas? Lee

Hello everyone, My Thunderbird is beginning to morph a little more each weekend I head home. The suspension is progressing, and I'm pricing out transmissions. My original intent was to run a t56, but that plan kinda fell through. So now i am planning on running a bulletproof T5 made by...

Happy birthday paul! I'm guessing that since you said the boxes were being shipped out, that means you found a sag box. That's good,cuz I can't anywhere. Either way, I'd like to hear the outcome. With my 17's, I need a little extra cornering quickness. Lee

Hello, My digital dash on my 1990 LX is giving me nothing but trouble. I was wondering if it was possible to switch to a standard "old style" dash, with actual needles and gauges instead of the digital readouts. And if so, what does it involve? Thanks,' Lee

Hello, I was able to find or salvage most of the parts for my 90 LX. Hese's what I am still looking for: Driver's side door seat belt thingie. Driver's side power seat motor. If you have any leads or have these for sale, please email me at [email protected] Thanks, Lee
