This is my bird, I got it running about after a year and a half of sitting. It's a 1986 T-Bird.

I tinted the windows, blacked out the lights, fabbed aluminum covers for the headlights then wrapped them with black vynyl. I fabbed the hood scoop out of aluminum, and TIG welded it together. Mounted sidepipes and put a 20 gallon fuel cell in the trunk. It has 14" rims with Cooper Cobra 205/60's in the rear and 185/60's in the front. The tranny is a stock 3 speed auto with stock torque converter for now, also the rear end is a limited slip dif 8.5" with 3.73 gears. I have a 351 W bored .030 over with 9.5:1 pistons, stock bottom end, Lunati .490 lift hydraulic cam, Edelbrock Performer 351W aluminum intake and a 600 cfm Edelbrock carb. The heads are stock but I ported and polished them, the intake is also port matched. Hedman Hedders lead into functional patriot sidepipes. It's nothing insane, but it does go to beat hell!!! An added bonus, it sounds pretty good too! Thanks for looking, give me your feed back on what you think. 

Future plans include complete body work and paint. I'm sticking with white, but I want to ghost in skulls leading into ghost flames, grey tones of course. I'm going for a super-clean look. I'll get there eventually, there's some surface rust on it right now, but it's nothing that can't be easily fixed. A shift kit, a 2,500 rpm stall converter and a posi rearend with 2.73's will come eventually. ****<<< UPDATE: Rebuilt tranny and stall converter coming on 6-15-09***This is my daily driver...I drive 70 miles everyday with it, it gets about 20 mpg doing 65 mph now, so the 2.73's will make highway driving even more economical, 320 hp and 30 mpg? sounds good to me!!!

 

 It's got a pretty nice stance...                   repdogg420's 1986 Ford Thunderbird

I fabbed the scoop and headlight covers

out of Aluminum. All the park lights and

tail lights are covered in a 50/50% vinyl.

It works pretty slick. (www.outlawgraphics.com)

I've got some streamlining and cleaning up to do under the hood still. But it runs like a champ, that's the main goal for now. I just had to have pics to prove there's a Winsor in there!

I can do alot of straightening and rerouting   

of  things under  the hood. It'll  look Pretty

clean by spring hopefully.

Well Thanks for visiting. Be sure to check out the company that made it happen,

www.maddoghaulers.com. I'll have more pics of other things I'm working on, a system, and

possibly nitrous, 75 HP shot probably for now. I know they make a 500 HP Fogger kit, that  

would be interesting! I'm also working on the suspension, I gotta make it hook. It doesn't at

all!! Haha! Ya gotta buy tires for a car sometime anyways right?
