Really cool FP, the "Baby Birds" have always been one of my favorites. Congrats.

One suggestion, lose the skirts, they look better without them.IMO (I am talking about the car)

Did you get the removable hard top as well?

Side note: The designer of the Continental Kit, and the Port Hole window, on the 56 Birds (Chuck Mashigan) was the same man who was instrumental in the design of the 2 seater AMX. He's also the guy who designed the scoop on my Crossfires hood. Google him, he was a layed off dump truck driver just before Ford hired him in the early 50's to design Lincolns.
Thank you all. Yes, Mike it came with the hardtop too. Funny, when new the hardtop did not have the port hole. It was a no cost option if you wanted the dealer to do it. My top has no port hole. It was free then, but now if I want to do it, it's like $300. And, thanks, I agree with your comment regarding Suzanne....

Great info on Chuck.
