Projects 63 T bird mild custom.

In the hopes of getting this pile on the road in spring 2018 I've decided to start a thread to be guilted into progress. I traded a Gibson guitar for this in Dec 2012 and I've done embarassingly little. due to the fact I've got too many projects, I'm handing this off to a friend who offered to get it where I want it and take a mustang in trade. i've already purchased chrome wheels with bullet camps, narrow white walls, a lowering kit, and fender skirts. it'll need new front floors and a good set of gaskets but it runs good, and appears to be stock. The red is a very dull repaint that I plain to keep, and the roof is the original while, which I'm hoping will polish up. Ideally it'll have scallups some day. hope to get more photos and then start documenting the process this fall.

 

That will be one sweet boat one of these days...love this style of Thunderchickens!

 

You should try to buff up that red paint, bet it will surprise you.

 

have fun - don't forget to go through brakes & add some horsepower to motor- those are heavy rides

 

Thanks all, I'm going with Cragar Vegas wheels with bullet caps & narrow white walls. I was just thinking I could probably afford tri power, then realized years ago when I was parts collecting I ponyed up for an original air cleaner, in the interested of saving time and money, I'll stick with what I've already collected

 

Any chance you have a spare set of hood hinges there perry1mj?

 

I need a set of taillight lenses for my radical custom 63 "TheBird".

 

Sorry, I don't have an extra set,

 

1st work I've done in years but I was able to finally get my welder to cooperate and filled the front emblem holes and took a shot at lengthening the fender skirts may take some shaping to get the wheels & tires to fit.

Good to see you are back at it.

 

Looks like you need a little more guilting to get this thing on the road! Get at it ya slacker!

 

2 year old thread.

 

I realize that.... I also know he recently started working on the car again and was trying to build on whatever inspired him to get back to it to begin with.

 

I love the thunderchickens...
