Was in the middle of building a Vortech T-Trim'd 1996 Thunderbird when I found my SHO in April 2016 with 10K miles and quickly lost interest in the TBird.

Stock for now with 26K miles, just basic maintenance - oil, ptu, etc.


Plan on coilovers, PPE catted downpipes and 3-Bar tune eventually.


Snapped a picture after I washed back on Memorial Day, hasn't left the garage since.

Am in the middle of Plasti-Dipping all the chrome and painting the brakes black, will post a picture once I'm done. :)

Welcome to the community, SkinnyTick, that's one sweet ride!  Definitely keep us updated on how the SHO progresses.  Any pics of the TBird while you were working on it?
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Been working on it since I bought it in 2007


Here are a couple of my google albums of my parts porn but I'm horrible about taking pictures while performing the work.


2015 Drivetrain - Built 4R70W, Circle D 3700RPM stall, aluminum driveshaft, 3.73 gearing : https://goo.gl/photos/JGpMNmRARyDqV3D38
Engine: Teksid block, all forged internals, PnP heads, stage 2 MHS Blower cams : https://goo.gl/photos/UCnjUDoyYhyyEsRf9


I literally had pulled the Tbird in the garage to start pulling the engine and put in the new one when I found the SHO.

That's a nice ride. I think it looks great in dark grey.
