Installation Instructions for '49-'51 Fords Fords
 
 
89-97 T-bird-Cougar Sport Coupes are readily available at reasonable prices. They come with 3.8, 3.8 supercharged, 5.0 small block and 4.6 modular motors and can be hopped up easily. Of course, they have p/s, p/b, p/w, Air etc. later cars also have ABS and Air bags.
Just unbolt front fenders, hood, hinges and trim front bumper support. This is the only cutting on the car! The radiator, battery and all mechanics stay in place. The only thing disconnected are the lights. The car stays fully mobile.
Just unbolt the trunk lid, tail lights and rear bumper. Bolt on the rear brace as shown. Remove stock gas door from hinge and trim as required. Our gas door simply glues and screws to the original hinge.
Our design uses the stock hinges, latch, solenoid, and weather strip ensuring a much better seal than any custom built set-up. Also, the quarter panel skin overlays glue into the original trunk gap and wheel lip (see video). They start over the wheel area about as thick as a pizza box & get thicker as they go back. As a result, very little blending is required. 3
The new hood hinges bolt into the original bolt holes, the hood closes onto the stock '89-'97 latch and catch assembly. The front fenders, grill shroud, gravel shield, splash aprons and even the antenna, bolt and screw on with the stock hardware.

QUICK INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

After 30 years of building hot rods and race cars, we learned what to do, and more important, what NOT to do. When building a street rod, you usually have to take components out of late model cars and add those parts to your vintage hulk.
Having built many hot rods the old fashioned way with -"REAL HARD WORK". We have developed this product that utilizes the engineering and all the bells and whistles of a late model vehicle, including disk brakes, power steering, tilt wheel, power windows, digital dash, stereo, air conditioning and upholstery etc. all in place, yet still has that all important cool look of a custom.
Our high quality fiberglass components are designed to bolt, glue, and screw onto the popular 89-97 Thunderbird and/or Cougar sport coupe. There is no cutting or welding required except to trim the front frame horns.

FRONT

  1. Unbolt hood, hinges, 2 front fenders and bumper.
  2. Trim both front frame horns even with radiator support
    (only cutting involved).
  3. Install 2 supplied hood hinges (loosely mount & center hood.)
  4. Loosely install both front fenders along cowl area and line up properly with doors and front of hood.
  5. Install fiberglass grill mount/radiator shroud loosely. (5A.)
  6. Install grill loosely.
  7. Install lower metal grill/bumper gravel guard to radiator support.
  8. To indicate where to install supplied L brackets, use a kitchen knife and follow flat section inside fenders to make small scratches on top of front spring perch & radiator support.
  9. Align & tighten components…sand, prime and paint.

REAR

  1. Remove stock trunk (4 bolts) & latch and solenoid (5 bolts.)
  2. Install our glass trunk, reinstall latch and solenoid.
  3. Install metal rear support to factory bumper bolt holes.
  4. Dry fit ¼ panel skins. Use paint sticks and tape to establish trunk gap. Drill 3 holes in rear wheel well to line up with factory holes. Put small self tapping screws through fiberglass 1/4 panel skins into metal 1/4 panel.
  5. With a pencil, make witness marks along and across thin part of ¼ panel over wheel and check all gaps.
  6. Remove ¼ panel, sand inside and out. Apply 3M 8115 panel adhesive, spread thin even coat and reinstall using pre-established position.
