Mod vs. No Mod poll

Re: Mod vs. No Mod poll

Looks nice Ron! Good contrast to the black exterior. The material looks almost like stock material, or very close. Custom-made I’m presuming?

Pushed one button too many times. But this will help my post count.

Actual this is a factory boot, from a Cashmere addition. The good part is it rolls up and stores better that the hard 2002 boot.

My latest mod.

Re: Mod vs. No Mod poll

Yes indeed, it does take a bit of patience and creative vocabulary. The recessed script is not very deep, so placing the paint within is a task for the calm and steady hand. And a lot of wiping off paint to the edge of the script.

So you painted the Thunderbird?

Just the door sill script. Too much?

This might be too radical for some, but I like it.

Greg,

Watch the movie "Top Gun" and see if you feel the same about the tail lights. They should remind you of the afterglow of the jet engines....

The design was penned by Ford designer J Mays, who incorporated many of the first Thunderbird’s traits. Cowled headlights, an eggcrate grille, a hood scoop, and afterburner taillights are all signature elements of the car’s design.

Mays headed the Volkswagen concept project in the mid 1990s and came to Ford in 1998. It looks like he brought the tail lights with him.

Morning Marlen! I'm quite sure you, and Roger, are in the no mods end, if you overlook the borlas. (Merlot followed by white) Seeing that 02 yellow bird with only 1400 miles on her yesterday was maybe a first and last for me with that low of mileage. Any chance of a get together next month?

Itasca State Park is always a fun drive. We were in Itasca over the 4th of July and we alway look for an excuse to go....and the trees are beautiful in September.

Bill I'm gonna quote you on that! I too have them on too (one seems crooked) and really feel the factory taillights were plain ugly. They reminded me of a 70's VW bug. Now Bill how about chrome sills! I got them but not on yet. Dino ships to me on the 17th...6 months in Mexico is way enough....

Of the 'no mods' group. Which color has the most no mods? My bet is Merlot followed by white....
