Gorgeous job! I did a double take seeing the spoiler on a car of this vintage but I realize it was stock! Love the color, would love to see it in the sun as well.

Thanks everyone. Actually the spoiler and hood scoop are aftermarket. The owners wanted to turn the car into an xr-7 cougar. The stock xr-7 spoilers are taller than this one. After I located and drilled the holes it hit me that the spolier was going to be really close to hitting the tops of the quarters. There ended up being about 1/2" clearance.

Here is an authentic xr-7 spoiler.

Here are the final pics. I still have to polish it in the morning, the owner is picking it up tomorrow afternoon.
