That thing looks pissed!

 

Those square birds are killer looking rides. Looks fantastic!

 

I like everything about that car!

 

I don't see many of these, nice car.
All of a sudden I'm getting an inspiration from your car - a drawing of a custom Ranchero.

 

Very nice !!
I really like the wheels.....

 

welcome to the hamb allways good to see more squares

ive seen your bird over on squarebirds.org i believe

 

Dig it!

 

It looks like it is going to eat everything it comes up behind! Awesome!

 

LOVE that year!

 

Wheel and tire combo look good on your bird.

 

Thanks for the comments. I can't take much credit for the basic car as it looks pretty much the way I bought it. I did totally redo the interior, several layers of sound deadener. When I first drove it back to CO from CA it was like riding in a portable sauna and your right foot felt like it was in an oven. When i got it back home the first thing I did was wrap the down pipes from the shortie headers and build aluminum heat shields for the trans tunnel, made a huge difference. Also added new stereo, speakers and amp, Pro-Car buckets up front with modified 66' power bases. Under hood I added A/C, 130amp alt, an over sized alum rad and a shroud and clutched fan from an LTD and did away with the puke tank. When I get back home this spring the 390/COM is being replaced with a 433 FE stroker (estimated 500hp/500ftlb) and a built AODE trans with a stand alone computer. Planing on a home built 4 link coil over set up for the rear. Sorry for the ramble, but it helps keep me motivated. Mike

 

Very cool!

 

Very cool looking ride.. Had a rare 58 convert once.. Wish I had it back..........

 

Very nice looking TBird for sure!
Thanks for sharing!

 

Nice looking T-Bird.

I see that you said it has shorty Headers. Any idea which Brand & model they were for?

I built a set for one (long tube) & they took forever to miss everything. I'd like to have a backup set.

Thanks Movin/on

 

these are made by FPA http://www.fordpowertrain.com/FPAindex/headers1.htm . I plan on building a set of long tubes for the new engine. Mike

 

Nice ride

 

Nice bird, always did like thoes square birds.

 

I used Ford Powertrain headers on a couple of cars - FE's. They are by far the best made headers I have ever used. They are not cheap, but cheap headers are curse forever.

Hay, let's se some interior shots - you photo link doesn't seem to be active.

 

A lot of people don't like this model of T-Bird.....when you really look at them, there is so much style.....look at all the other cars in 1960 and you will see whay I mean....other than the vette, there is nothing of interest.

I like it a lot....demands respect on the road. Thanks for sharing!

 

i wonder what that means?

 

Sorry no pics of the interior yet. Out of town until mid April so will have to wait till the then. Mike

 

Nice! Makes me want to get back to work on mine.

 

Definitely a body style on my bucket list. Nice car.
