better pic of my Dads 260 before all the 'glass work.

Found this when i was digging through some old photo's Before and after glassing.

 

somewhere in Arizona on I-40 headed to San Diego in Mar 1991.. My dad was headed out for my Wedding and stopped to snap this pic.

 

This was his first attempt with some newer style paint before he glassed in his fender flares, side skirts and tail.. It looks copper but its because the photo is faded and my scanner lightened it up even further... its Ford Med Red with a gold base... acrylic enamal with 3 coats and 1 coat of 50 50 mix of the red with clear.. no actual clear coat.

 

anyways.. just thought you might like to see a good example of a 260.

 

 

And now after fender flares, 3 peice tail, side skirts and hand made hood scoop.

 

 

and for giggles and laughs... pic of me doing the bondo work on his first hood scoop for his 240 in 1987... Lord look at those glasses.

I prefer the body glassed in with the flares; looks downright sexy. I think the only thing I would change is the ride height of the car. I think a 2" drop would do wonders for the appearance, although it does look pretty good in the second photo. Thanks for posting that

Hes always liked the lifted rearend.... kinda muscle carish look... he did put some motorsport comp springs all aound a few years after that 2nd pic was taken. that brought the front down pretty good. really have to watch the speed bumps cause of the rake with the higher rear.
