  2. Looks like it started out as a '61 or '62 T-Bird. Pretty cool in a freaky Flash Gordon spaceship kind of way. That double bubble top must be a lot of work to keep that clean looking.

    This thing is 10 kinds of awesome. The pics of the website, on a body dolly that you can't really see, and with no wheels on it, looks like it's flying.

    At some point, I want to build stuff like this. No more restorations or mildly customized cars, just the really crazy stuff. Some day I'll get to that point.

    Other than the billit aluninum rocker panel that looks like an afterthought bolt on from the 80s, that think its totally TITS! I like the dash, even with the plain gauge layout. That center-bar on the roof and how they made the rear of the roof lay down is cool too.

    I like it, a lot!

    Sorry for my stupidity. I'm pretty much a FORD dumbass. I thought is was the second gen., but I guess it is the third. At least I knew it wasn't the first. :)

    Extending out the center of the front bumper & hood really changes the front end for the better.
    Damn. I just finished up a rolled pan for the front of my '61 Bird, but after seeing this mod, I think I'm going back to the drawing board.

    Definitely some pretty cool design elements on this car.

    In Star Wars, the 1st one, they had mirrored panels on the bottom of the land speeder to give the effect of hover, Could work on this too!

    Very cool car indeed.
