Talking New pics of my cleaned up rex!

Well, I've done much beautifying of the exterior and interior... All that is left is painting the window trims! That's the project for this weekend!

Hope you like the clean stock look!

This is at the B'Ham meet in AL:


This is me and 3 third gens heading to the meet:


These are a few pics at different angles in my driveway:

Birmingham, Alabama

Was at the Birmingham Race Course (greyhound course)

Not many first gens there... only 4 total showed. I think one of them that showed was Viperx7.

The Orange Blossom Special is an old bluegrass done by greats like Bill Monroe.. The song mentions a train headed for Birmingham.. "There ain't NO HAM like Birmingham!"

Nice looking car, I love the colour! I'm going for the clean stock look myself.. Got some "black magic" to make the whitewalls whiter and the rubber blacker

Truly a beauty of a car man, the only thing I would say is... "Where's the kid with the remote control"

I don't really have anything to compare it to. It just looks like a real clean FB right now. Any pics prior to the work?

Thanks guys... Again, sorry about your loss TJ and Manntis--best of luck to both of you! I dunno what I'd do if something happened to my rex!

Jon--I'll try to dig up some pre-pics and show the major improvements

You need special tools to remove the clips under the trim... I hear they are fragile and if you are not skilled/experienced, don't do it.

That is a pretty car! I never get tired of looking at a clean FB. And I have 3 in front of me right now. Just shows how good the original design was and remains.
