I just found this thread and damn what a kick ass car you have there! Great work getting it back to it's former glory too!

Another fantastic job, you’re also much more dedicated to taking pictures and posting than I am. It’s just something I don’t often think about. I get involved in doing something rather than thinking about taking pics and sharing my story.

What a difference on the door (inside). Night and day different. That T-Bird is really coming along nicely. Beautiful car, Glenn!

Thank you railroad. Very cool things you said. I really enjoy when people read my threads and provide feedback. That includes constructive criticism. I have no problems when people say I should have done something different in a constructive way.

However, it's even cooler when people tell me I'm on track with things they would do. So, thank you for that brother.

Very cool story about your Dad. I'm a true blooded Mustang guy, but like to hear when people do something different. It's definitely a lot of fun to surprise people who think they have the race in the bag LMAO!!!

Thanks again for the feedback and advice. Much appreciated.

If your engine temp might be a little high, throw a bottle of water wetter in the coolant.
It breaks down the surface tension of the coolant and allows better surface contact with inside of the system.
It is not snake oil it works.
No bad side effects.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you Bird-Dog. It's funny how that happens. I look at the new posts lists all the time. However, there are some posts I click on and it's already like 4 or 5 pages deep. I'm like how did I miss this? LMAO!!!

Thank you Bullitt. Although I like to post and share with you guys, to be honest, I'm actually documenting the build or project for myself as much as for posting. I like to see where I started and document the process and then see the end result. It's fun to see how bad it was compared to how it looks afterwards. It also helps me have a visual of my mistakes so I know how to avoid them or fix them next time around.

There has been a few times I get into the project and completely forget to take pictures though LOL....

Great minds think alike railroad. I bought a case of this from Amsoil and plan on putting it in the cooling system of the Thunderbird once I finish flushing the system out.
