97' T Bird

[ISTHATFACTORY?]

I've seen posts on the 91' and 94', What about a 97'? Am I going to have the same problems with the B/G.. I really don't want to do it, but I really don't want to turn the job down either?

They are a pain.

I know the 94 and the 97 are the same bg.  Ive owned both years.

 

Have fun with it.

I like to leave the bottom dots untinted to help get that bottom to lay down. It's a real pain in the ass trying to fuss with those bottom corners as there is no room. Leaving the bottom dots unfilmed makes it a little easier down in those corners.

You should remove the deck too, because it touches the glass down there and your hands will take a beating with it still in.

The tint job is going to be more valuable than the car.

Also, some of those have welding slag on the inner glass on the sides right from the factory.

Thank you for the comments and advice!

 

Dosen't sound too promising from what I'm hearing on this one..would be a 1st if I pass on it tho.

Don't give it away for sure, price it high enough to make it worthwhile.

  Nothing wrong with making your efforts worthwhile.

 

Knuckle busters suck!!

If it doesn't kill you does it really make you a better tinter?

They really aren't that bad to do, just don't be too worried about the film laying down on the bottom corners when trying to shrink it.  You certainly don't want to over shrink the bottom.  Seriously, take your time with it, and I would suggest doing the bg first.  The sides are cake, and panels easily lift off the door if I remember correct.  Might be thinking of a Mustang on the panels.

I would always do those in 2pcs with a overlap / defroster cut. Probably did 200 of them. The bottom corners were the only tricky part, but with the squeegees available today, it should be simple. At the time ( 1997 ) all we had was a black and white hard card cut at a angle gnat looks like the conquer of today.
