    Good story: A buddy in our trio of cars guys had one of these in the late 80s, similar build and look (and he deleted the roof trim and vinyl top with a massive amount of grinding and polishing). We called it Darth Vader. 20+ years after he sold it, despite all of us moving far away, the other two of us actually FOUND the vehicle on a visit back to town, still running strong and healthy. We recognized it by his yellow underside paint job. I remember that this guy was so good at working on it, he once changed and tested various cams several times in a day! I'm loving your build!

      That's awesome man, thanks for sharing! I actually have plans to remove my vinyl as well as some other custom modifications I can't wait to share about too! Thanks for the support.

    Holy shit dude! I built one of these too. Only you would belive the kind of attention it got. Kept power steering on ours. Used a HO with mild cam and a fairbanks trany.

    My first car was a 1980 Thunderbird with a 255 v8 red with a white vinyl top. Great car but the 255 was a terrible motor.

      These are retro remakes of the original 10 hole wheel that came as an option on foxbody platform cars, LMR makes them. These ones in particular are 5 lug for swapped cars like mine, and they're also 17" x 9" and 17" x 8" instead of the original 15" ones.
