Thread: New Project 63 Thunderbird!

Tweet

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.
Keep posting. Steve.

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..............

Is she pretty or what?

Richard

Bob

You're gonna do juuuuuusstt fine around here................

Ok need some direction here on my empty engine bay.
This bird came with no engine
This tbird originally came with a 390 four barrel (z code) engine. I do have the cruise-o-matic tranny (is this worth using?) that originally came with the car and all engine accessories (timing cover, all accessory brackets, air cleaner, powersteering pump,etc minus exhaust and intake manifold) The easiest way to go would be to put a 390 back in..........................BUT BEING A HOT RODDER..Bigger sounds better.......

I am new to FE engines, but wouldn't any FE up to a 428 go in??? Need all of your expertise and opinions out there. Love the way the 390 sounds in the movie bullet's star mustang for sure. I know this is not a drag car, but a few extra cubes can't hurt? Right?
Thanks for the help, Don JR

What a gap between the mounds!!!!

Richard

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!

yeah I do like them birds too sorry dude I see a good plat form I just have to run with it well good luck with your project

I knew it was just a matter of time........who woke Bob up from his nap?

And Don, keep your hands off of my 460!!

Don

hmmm. Well I guess I will have to keep digging for info. The cruise a matic was used in many vehicles. Mine is in good shape. Pops....Already digging that 460 out of the corner of the shop

The t bird gonna look cool slammed. You gonna run fender skirts?

Don's at work, so I'll answer for him until he sees this. The T Bird is now in the hands of someone else. He sold it a while back to a guy who is restoring another one. I forget the exact reasons he changed his mind on building it, but I think his heavy 2 job work schedule and the boat project he found left no time to do this one.

It sure freed up a lot of space in the shop when it left........that was one big car. We kind of all decided we were too crowded in there, so I even sold my 39 Dodge project to a nice guy who bought it on Ebay. Now we have some breathing room.
