hmmm. i thought that car looked familiar. a guy over one the vmf has one that used to look that. it's now completely different thank god. at first i thought it was the same car but after further examination it's not. that's just too damn weird for me though.

[Pakrat 1,043]

Gee that's an awful lot of man hours and custom fabbing for something so hideous.

 

I can honestly say I have finally seen the first candidate I would actually recommend becomes an Eleanor. 8)

 

Pak.

That is sad! :lol:

[bswor 73]

I hope that thing breaks some kind of speed records at least bluckkkkk

Hey guys, check this out and compare it to the red "Superbird" stang - separated at birth? Maybe that guy got a job on the Lexus design team??

I don't like that swept-down-nose look at all, looks out of place on that body . . .

[Ltnrisk 104]

wow that superbird-mustang is the worst i have like ever seen other than the mustang with a plow cause i mean thats crazy. But I bet that superbird one could float or atleast the nose would second as a vacuum. Cause that would make a cool vacuum.

[guigui 114]

you said ugly??

 

what about this one ? it's in south of france in the 80's :crying:

 

i won with this one no?

[guigui 114]

look at the walkman headset on the mirror !

[bswor 73]

Thats not that bad... haha Well at least everything looks like it could be undone at least.

[GreaseMonkey 102]

wow, I was thinking about what it would look like if you painted the grill like that, but now i am definitely not any more! thank you for posting that!

[bnickel 10,004]

yeah other than the paint job that one isn't all that bad. it pretty much look the part of late 70's street machine.

[guigui 114]

yes but the paint is particulary "special"

 

it make advertise for someone whose job is to paint on building , you can see a phone number on the chin spoiler ( which seems to be a house made ... well done )

 

but the probleme is the paint ! all red with all this letters ...

[bnickel 10,004]

true, but it's still fairly easily corrected. cars like the "superbird" car are really hard to fix the UGLY on. the guy that now owns that car is trying to restore it back original and so far has had to replace EVERY PIECE of sheetmetal on it. both quarters, both doors, both fenders, hood, trunk lid, taillight panel, front and rear valance panels, everything except the roof.

 

like the saying says, beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes stright to the bone.

While we're on the topic of grills, I just replaced mine and have a couple quick questions -

 

1. The plastic rivits used to attache the grill. I got them from MU. Do you tap the little post until it's flush with the plastic disk for total attachment?

 

2. I added a new Mustang "running horse" emblem. The old grill and emblem (I think they're original) had the horse attached 7 verticle spaces to the right from the center of the grill, so I put the new one in the same place. I've seen the emblem everywhere on the right side. Which is correct? Pakrat, you're looks like mine.

 

3. AGAIN, how do the inner headlight doors attach to the grill using the hole up top? I got new screws for the bottom slots, and have temporarily used small wire ties up top.

Yoiks Cam, odd spot for an off topic question, I all but missed it completely. Anyway, I know what you mean, I have seen it all over the place myself on a variety of cars, even show cars. Even in some Ford official adds I have seen it wrong. The assembly manual however says that it is 3 full sections to the left of the headlight bucket, 3 1/2 if you count the half of one that the bucket overlaps in other words.

 

Oh, as for the other ???'s, 1) Yes and 3) they attach the same as most of the hardware on these cars do. A thin metal U shaped clip nut slides over the tab and has a threaded hole that lines up with the hole in the tab. You then use a sheetmetal screw to secure it.

what gives people ideas like this?!?!!??!:death: :confused1:

 

 

 

at least this one looks like it would be easy to fix. found it while pokin around on ebay, i hope whoever gets it does!

[Pakrat 1,043]

Um, Chess Boards, Bathroom floors, racing flags and lots and lots of very heavy drugs.

[BAMF69 11]
