    I agree. Being retired this project has kept me busy and out of my wife's hair. Everyone is happy.

    Very nice, John! Those bumpers make the car, IMHO. I'm not sure if it's the fact that they are tucked or that they look 100% pristine, but they look some nice!! Congratulations on your maiden voyage!! BTW, I enjoyed reading about your deuce!! Excellent job on that, too!!

    Thanks Paul
    The bumpers are from my 74 Maverick parts car. I sent them to Fall Carlisle with a friend who delivered them to Tri-City Plating from Tennessee who had a booth there. My same friend then picked them up at Spring Carlisle for me. They did a GREAT job. There price was $300. each. I was quoted $825. each here in Ontario.
    The 2 1/2 inch tuck on the front made all the difference I think.
    The T-Bird Deuce (www.tbirddeuce.com) was a fun deal, but now I have a car with fenders, a hood, wipers, side windows, and a heater for the days when maybe the sun does not shine. All the things my 32 does not have.
