Any Customized 1957 T-Bird's out there??? Pic request. My wife's new car

Custom wheels and maybe a slight drop but I wouldn't be changing anything on that car that couldn't be changed back and I'm one that usually isn't afraid to modify anything.
The car M__S has is about as radical as I would go with one. Those wheels are just perfect for that car.

 

hows this for custom? Chopped, aluminum doors, trunk and hood. 1100 horse 312, and a quickchange. i know its a 55 but, It is definately custom.

 

Not a 57 but I like it. It belongs to a fellow HAMBer. Maybe he will throw in a few more pics.

 

its a nice ride, for a ford.


LOL!

 

Couple more pictures of my 55, thanks for posting up that pic Mike.

 

Here's one my dad had in the early-ish 60's. His picture taking skills leave something to be desired.

 

polished 5 spokes and blackwalls and no skirts for a change. Nothing to
change back either

PM Blackie for his rendering of the "Hirohata T Bird that he did for R & C a year ago. His Name is Eric Black and his rendering and design work is fucking top notch. If you go to his site www.eblackdesign.com you can get a look at his idea. It's a 1960 T-Bird. Oh and your wifes car is awesome.

 

Black Beauty! Just needs some polished torque thrust style wheels in my opinion. Congratulations Gloria!

 

Chris, Tell your wife she has a beautiful car there and We look forward to meeting her and cruising with her to Ventura this year or Santa Maria next year.
60'

 

Thank you Paul for all your help, that Kansas auction gave me that extra kick to make it so......

 

The current issue of The Rodders Journal has a picture of Gil Ayala's Thunderbird. That one was pretty wild - he wasn't afraid to cut it up.

 

Here's a picture of my current project. Aside from the modified front bumper the exterior will be completely stock. Running gear is a 4.6 DOHC and T45 5-speed. Modifications to get both to fit were minimal.

If that's not your style, perhaps you'll like my dad's car better. The patina is 100% natural:

Let your Wife decide if she wants to cut it or leave it alone & Drive it!
