I've been lurking for a while, figured I should reintroduce myself. :)

T-Bird has been down since Summer 2021. It was 100* that day and wife while driving it like she stole it, ended up popping the radiator and PI intake. Perfect chance to swap my PI heads and cams that have been sitting in storage for years, right? Progress was very slow but everything is back together, just need to figure out a tuning solution.

I'll have to post a build thread.

Welcome.

I've used David Dalke from Super Coupes Unlimited for my tuning.
 
Welcome! Nice looking Thunderbird. I am jelly of the sunroof... In the picture it has the same tires I put on my Cougar after I got it, General RT43s.
 
Welcome! Liking the color of the T-Bird.

"Are you sure you're ready for the "BirdCats" experience?"
 
Glad to see you come out of the shadows at last. :)

RT43 or RT45? I have been using the RT43s for years and saw the RT45s replaced them recently, and it'll be time for a new set on the Mark next summer.
 
Welcome!

Good to see you here. (y)

Light Saddle is on the bottom of my list but I have come to love it. It's a very unassuming color, it hides our tan colored dirt very well and I think it is one of the better colors that hides a failing clear coat. :) I call it 'Old man tan' while the wife refers to it as 'copper penny' which is a term I use occasionally in place of 'butt-hole' LOL:rofl:

David Dalke is XR7 Dave over on SCCOA.com, correct? Doesn't look like he is on here or TCCOA.com. I'll have to fire off an e-mail to him.

I have been a huge fan or General Tires since I put GMAX AS05 on my SHO back in 2017. Have also put a set on my wife's Status Coupe and plan on a set of Grabbers on the Ranger when the factory Goodyears go to shit.

They are the RT43, it's been sitting for 3 years, so I'm worried they have flat spots. I'm happy to see the RT45 are affordable, I will most likely go with a set of those next unless I decide to go with 18" wheels.
