1985 Ford Thunderbird EXTREME car!
***NOTE**

this is not a 'race' car. as much as you rednecks think it is, dont post retarded stuff in my guestbook about the car being full of wood and concrete and it being slow. its not meant to go over 20 mph, its meant to be LOUD, for dbdrag, and thats it !

Here are a few updated pictures as of June 2003:

Side Windows
Here i have started the framework for the side windows. i started by removing all the factory trim, and then "squaring up" the opening to fit the frame. once i get the plexi and get it drilled and fitted, i will weld the frames in and then continue with cosmetics.

Window down, stripped:
