Vintage Thunderbird Club International

I ran a set of 2001 Bullitt wheels on my 'Bird for a bit.

I need to put these doors back together.
Ideas?

My wife is doing that, makes my head hurt!

Thanks for that.....Ill check my balancer while i have the heads off.

I am keeping the flaked turquoise, and changing the Emerald Pearl to Toyota "South Pacific". Its a darker teal color. It will run painted steelies until I can get some "Chrome Reverses" Time is short, before Larry and I leave on April 1! (Thats 47 days) I am having my 390 built, ...

Does Bilstein make a set for the fronts of our Bulletbirds?
