I'd already own one.

Looks good. Is that a T-Bird front bumper? What are those headlights from?

You can build it Doug!

Stunning! Me likey! T-bird graft looks great. head lights are probably something Japanese? Well done.

Bumper/grill is from a "square bird, I believe. Headlamps/parking lamps look to be from a foxbody mustang.

Fox Mustang headlamp assemblies are 3 piece, those appear to be '89-93 T-Bird

I,ll give him an "A" for vision and execution. I dont know if I like it. But I dont dislike it..

Good catch Rick. Couldn't tell if they were one piece or not from the angle, but the more I look at em the more they look like da bird.

I knew Chuckie wouldn't like it. He hates everything...ROFL!!

Actually they are too tall for T-Bird headlights as well... I think

I have been racking my brain over these headlights.

1965 Galaxie 500
2007 Shelby GT500
2004 Marauder
1994 Aerostar

58 T-Bird Grille/Bumper

Good concept, good execution, but just two small design flaws.

The missing moulding at the top of the door window opening just doesn't work. Either tone down the quarter window moulding or fab one up to complete the line.

Headlights. I know it's tricky to incorporate an existing aerodynamic fixture into a box shaped car. The angle across the bottom of the headlights and the angle across the top of bumper clash. This could be camera angle or illusion. It looks like the headlights sweep upward toward the outside of the car.

I'm not sure what the cargo area window surround is but it looks a bit odd to me.

And lose that shit painted on the hood! If you have a neat looking car you don't need to distract with crap like that!

Okay, that's four. I apologize.

Overall, good job. WAY better than some "custom" abortions I've seen.

Just Passin' Through.......

I think they were going for some kind of sinister eye brow look on the headlamps. Did they suceed? Meh. No excuse on the window trim. Maybe it blew off on the way to the show. I completely agree on the pinstriping on the hood. Blech.

I found an article on it. I also saw chrome above the front door in one photo so might be the camera angle like Greg said. More:

"The front end was revitalized with a '58 T-Bird grille surround and bumper (each narrowed 2 inches), massaged headlight housings with '01 Volvo lights, and a peaked and reworked hood. The top was chopped a couple inches, with the windshield still stock (ancient custom secret!), flush-fit side glass, and removed B-pillars. And out back, handmade taillights were fit into housings, while a '61 Impala rear bumper was trimmed to nestle between a rolled pan and shaved hatch (also with flush glass)."

I know how they do the w/s. They sink the whole assembly into the body instead of chopping it. I saw an article on a Starliner where they did the whole top that way. Cut it loose with a sawzall (YOWZA!!), dropped it down, retacked it.

I think the same menu of modifications would work nicely on a '58-'60 T-bird.
