    Those are sweet, I owned a Diamond Jubilee T-Bird. My 87 MGM is all white with blue interior,
    I think it would help set the car off to paint the inners a medium blue,but a little on the lighter side

        Would be kind of difficult to pull off matching the wheels with a lighter paint color. For that, I'd prefer probably just going with the original argent gray.

            Most of them are trashed here too. In fact, if you look at the one I posted, you can see a bit of a shadow from a wheel weight. That's actually pitting from the salt sitting under the weight.
            1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.

                  Oooo! LSC Turbines are a Win! My buddy's Mark 7 had colored keyed ones to match his car.. He recently just got into a wreck with it and I was going to take them but two of the four where damaged besides I really want Lacey turbines or HPPs ... This pic got me going on the HPP idea . Quick pic of my buddy's Mark and the turbines.. Sad that the both cars in the pic are gone now :-(

                        Here are my restored turbines. SVT98t powder coated these for me. They are a wine/silver tutone and I have a matching set of five.



                        Come spring, the white walls will be cleaned up and the turbines will go on.

                              If you don't mind my asking how much per wheel to strip/blast those and powder coat ?
                              That is supposed to be as durable as anything right? I am unfamiliar with the process
                              They look great! And you could do any color.

                                Turbines ROCK. I miss them so so so much. Sold all the turbines I had to a member here years back. If they were 16" wheels I would still be running them.
