    Took me a few months but finally done with the body and paint! This was my first thunderbird to tear into and what a pain lol. Put new quarters, rockers, trunk pans, rebuilt upper end of the 352 special, converted to closed Pcv system, converted the generator system to a GM alternator. She runs great and what a blast to drive! Another bonus is no one ever has one of these at the local cruise nights so it really stands out. Body is in Epoxy primer with House of Kolor Purple Ice Pearl over Base Black.

    Nice, I just picked one up a few months ago. I'm doing body and paint on it this winter.
