That's a nice setup they have. I likey the trunk lid and hood too. The front for the 83-86 Birds look more like a drag front that a nascar front. But to me it'd be worth getting the front clip, hood, trunk lid and rear bumper cover. I could then do the glass work I want to. It'd be alot easier
I just reread the info on the hood and front clip. They are extended 2". definetly sounds like a drag frontend. Hmmmmmm, I don't think that would be a problem for what I want to do though. Some extra room

I used the Zaino Show polish Swirl Remover with a polisher, then put on a couple of coats of Zaino Z-3 on my black TC, and it looks like a mirror. You can see all of the imperfections in the paint job, which is by no means original. I used the Meguires on my Jeep and Mustang, and think Zaino is superior. Will have to price out a good paint job one of these days..... -Kent

I wonder if this is the nascar type nose inquired about earlier and/or if this would work with the stuff from the hairyglass link?

I washed my car today, the first bath since last November. I'm still more than pleased with the Meguiars synthetic past wax I used. It's been since August now, but I should note that it was under a Noah cover since the middle of January until last week, daily driven up until the new year. Maybe half the time I'll cover it when it's being driven daily.
So these couple of pictures are taken about 5 minutes after rinse:

And here's a dried picture. That's smoke from my routine poisoning.
