My Car- Unlike Any Other

[OldBlue1981]

I like the paint, pretty sporty. The hood scoops I'm okay with...But I think the fender vents look a little outta place...

But I likes it! Now make them scoops functional, 'cause stick on things are just rice.

Thanks! I have been planning to make them functional ever since they were placed on the hood. I just haven't had time to get around and actually do any work to the car for a while. Right now it is sitting in my driveway under a cover. I haven't touched it for about a week. I'll keep ya updated though! It shouldn't be too hard of a task to complete. Wish me luck!

Old Blue, those scoops look a little out of place to me, have you thought about swapping them left to right? I believe they will "flow" with the general shape of the hood much better then. Also have you ever considered a bigger single scoop, like the one I got?

I absolutely love these cars but I just wanted something besides stock. I have always wanted a car with an appearance like no other.

I think you made good on that goal.

I love the 5 speed, I give you alot of credit on that. Plus its pretty rare to see an 81 in such good shape.

Stripes, lettering, diamond plate, stick on scoops, hubcaps have all got to go imo.

Thanks! It was a lot of work. Thanks for the opinion but, it's staying. The hubs are going though for a new set of cragar wheels. Everyone has their own tastes I guess. This is mine and I absolutely love the way the car is. But, thanks for the compliments! I appreciate that!

wow..sure is nice...I liek what you did with the grille/headlamp bezels...I would have done the same...exactly the same.
I'm not crazy about the wheels personally, but they're allright.
great interior!
that dash look grreat!
I like your steering wheels as well. I have the same one...SummitRacing.com sells the horn button with the Ford logo in it like I have if you want one...

Thanks! I have spent many hot afternoons working on this thing...I guess it pays off. I'm not crazy about the wheels either...they're soon to be replaced though. I checked that out over at Summit Racing and I think I'm going to order one of those. I think it would be a nice touch to the car. Thanks for the link!

[Mr. Land Yacht]

not a problem mang...glad to help...I figured it would fit in very nicely.

what were you thinking for wheels?
if you like the black wheel type...Cragar makes some nice ones...
these are some of the black ones that Cragar makes...I like these:

but I would recommend something like this for your car...

[Mr. Land Yacht]

if you can get a picture of your car from an angle like this..I can photoshop both or just one of those wheels like I did in this pic with my car...these are Cragar SSs
its not perfect, but it would give you a good idea of what wheels would look like.

[OldBlue1981]

Hey,
Those chrome wheels are exactly like what I am looking for. I'll try to get a pic in that angle later today (when it's not as hot outside!) lol! I appreciate you doing this for me. Now I can focus on what the look of it would truly be. I've always wondered what it would really look like and now I get to see. I get that pic uploaded later today! Thanks!

[Mr. Land Yacht]

no problem mang...I'm usually bored at work, looking for something to do ....just so you know...those particular Cragar SSs that I photshopped onto my car are like $145/each new...if you want those, I would look on Ebay/Craigs List for them...they're a universal wheel..so you would need to get the bolt adapters for them.
those others are a lot more reasonable.

btw, you can just send me the pic thru a Private Message if you prefer...
but whtever you want to do is good.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

actually...this guy has those chrome cragars on his LTD I think...

I have a brand new set of Cragar Soft 8's (the black wheels posted). If you're interested...

[OldBlue1981]

Still going to get that pic to ya...I promise! I've just been very busy.

Boxman, how much do you want for the set of Cragars?

[boXman]

I don't know if I wanna ship them... by the time u pay for shipping u might as well buy em off summit.
