Hi Tom, Glad you're coming close to the end zone. You car is beautiful. I am happy for you and still appreciative for the MCF air cleaner you sold me years ago when your current adventure began. Jim

Yowza; absolutely gorgeous. The contrast of the exterior and
engine colors is beautiful. I'm green with envy.....
(And that stellar grille is making my jeans tight.)

36s are sharp, yours is outstanding. You must have a great amount of patience.

Only part left is a new rubber mat for the front floor interior. Thinking black this time instead of beige. Thanks to all for kind words and help over the years!

Looks like it came off the floor of a vintage show. Nice!

One more for the group, interior is done except floor mat. It was a LeBarron Bonney kit from ten years ago. Was going to change it but was in great shape and really matched the blue color nicely .

I like the T-Bird "loose wheel support stand" Is that Gold Metallic or Tawney beige?

Tonights work was a bear, driver side fender did not want to fit right! Three hours later all good. Next up, get the hood lovers on and she is ready to dance!

Tom,
Unbelievable work you have done on the 36! I really enjoyed your pictures. Wait let me wipe the drool off the screen!
Looking forward to the finish and first ride shots.
Regards,
Chris

I have a couple of videos of the exhaust and engine running but not sure how to post those? Anyway, this is a picture of me with the car in 1977, the day we drove her home. Just an 18 year old kid with long hair...now mostly gray!

The last parts to go on, hood with side louvers....glad I had help tonight. Tricky to do and not scratch any paint! Now discovered a leaky wheel cylinder so replacing both fronts and then will be good to roll!
