User Rides / My GTbird build
Sorry for stepping on your toes aerocoupe. Just asking a question related to what was posted.

Ok, gotha. Have to keep that in mind if I have to mix and match parts in the future. Are the fronts struts a differnet length too?

Nice build! What's the reason for flipping the lower rear shock mounts?

Body/Appearance/Interior / 86 T-Bird window run weatherstrip
I'm not sure the ones I've used will work on your '80 T-Bird. Look through the JC Whitney Catalog or online. They have many different styles of weather strips and have cross sections and dimensions of them to compare to yours. There are some other companies out there who also have universal weather strips, but the names elude me at the moment. There are some vendors who sell varying types of weather strips that show up at the Carlisle PA Spring and Summer car shows too. Hope this helps.

Lounge / mercury cyclone
You guys are bringing back memories. My first car was a 67 Cyclone. 289 4 speed car with the factory fiberglass hood. Like many of us I wish I had that first car back. I really like the Cyclones from 66 up through 71.

Body/Appearance/Interior / Dew wipe replacement update
I am updating my thread to show the revised method I used to replace the dew wipe on the passenger side of my T-Bird. I didn't notch the JC Whitney dew wipe as I did on the drivers side of the car. I first thought it would help the dew wipe to lay flatter but after looking at it while doing the passenger side notching them is not necessary. I have included two pictures to show this. Eliminating notching the dew wipe definitely makes it a much easier project as you only have to make one cut to the length of the dew wipe. I think the clips will be held into place better by not notching the dew wipe. I decided not to put weather strip adhesive on the clips either, as I did on the drivers side. I finally found another Tempo window run. Now both sides are finally done.XX

Assembly / Disassembly How-to / '83-'86 Window Weatherstripping
I am posting to let everyone know I have updated my post on replacing my dew wipe and window run on the passenger side of my T-Bird. I eliminated notching the JC Whitney dew wipes as this is not needed as I first thought. Check out the thread attached in CBASS post above to see the update.
