i'm no Ford guy, but i have a soft spot for those T birds. there was one sitting at a house nearby for years and i drove by often and decided i really like the way the back of those look especially. one day it was gone, but i could have seen myself one day stopping by to make an offer. i haven't ever thought of what i would want to do to one, but low sounds like a good start as does the rest of your plan

I saw this car on Craiglist forever and then it just disappeared (figured it sold) turns out the guy was sick of getting calls from people asking if a car without an engine would drive OK to California the next day! Crazy! Oh well, it showed back up and I towed her home. Reminds me of being a kid with dad telling us to remember to tell mom the car we just bought was "only $50 bucks" Just stretching the truth a bit
That 460 is looking better to me all the time for this project......What do you think dad?????? 
P.S. Dad..........Do the rest of the guys know that girl is not your girlfriend sitting in your car avatar pic???????Last edited by Mr Blue; 10-01-2008 at 11:07 AM.

Mr. Blue, I think she might be one of Uncle Bob's beauties that he morphed into your dad's car!(just kidding Don, if she was one of Bob's we'd all go running!)
Those old Tbirds have such great lines. The huge round tail lights have tons of character! I always thought it would be fun to have a convertible version for out here in CA. My problem is limited storage and a short garage to where anything over 18 feet long wouldn't fit inside.
Some of the guys on here are very talented with photoshop, etc. So if you want to try out different wheels or paint jobs, they usually are game putting them on your car.

Ooooooohh...............a high, hangin' pitch.....................
Jr., dad already admitted he had to pay her (or was it beg?) for those services..........isn't that kind of stuff illegal in Florida? Thanks to my spies we've posted up a picture of his real gf leaving the photo shoot before..............

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Well, she's not overweight . . . LOL!
I am another person who really likes the '61-'63 T-Birds. I see a red one at shows with that sport tonneau cover that covers the rear seats. Very cool!Last edited by rumrumm; 10-01-2008 at 01:33 PM.
