Greetings all. Have been lurking for the past two years as the build trundles along. Sold a 600ish all-wheel-hp rally car to build hot rods with friends up here in Seattle, WA and it has been highly rewarding to make the switch. The wallet disagrees, however. Onto the car! 1963 Ford Thunderbird which will be a resto-mod. Currently running a mildly built 390 with a NOS Street Demon 575, FPA headers, typical Performer RPM mani, converted to Duraspark II ignition and factory cruise-o. Have a C6 waiting on the sidelines once the cruise-o takes a dump from the added power being thrown at it now.
Updating this very well-loved build to include the update that the '63 tried to kill us all around a telephone pole, so there is a replacement '61 with the built heart that shook the telephone pole (emotionally and physically). Plus the '51 Fleetline that is now the regular driver while the Bird gets ready for paint.
