thunderbirds are GO!!! (pic thread)

so who's got a thunderbird here on the hamb?
here's mine

 

guess someone shot all the birds down

 

Just chopped mine. My goal is to get it painted this summer. Bright silver?

 

I've got one in my name... I did have a '66 once many years ago. My first old car. It was a real piece of shit, and I didn't know what the hell I was doing with it either, hahaha! I'd like to own a 61-63 rocket bird someday.

 

This is my 59. It is all together now. I am just trying to figure out what wheels will go on this. Any suggestions?

 

Wow, love that color with the tan interior! I vote some chrome Kelsey Hayes style wires! They would look really classy with that color...

 

sweet kolor!!!
love seeing it in the sunlight!!

 

I've got a mild custom '61 that I've gotta get around to someday.
There's a Tbird owners group here on the HAMB with lots of photos too.

 

These are the best thunderbirds....outside my price range though.

 

I was hoping for the thunderbird XL-5 kids pupits, and the Ladys panalapys pink rolls, I am showing my age any one remember the cartoon/pupits?

As a teenager (pre-16) I used to get around a lot by hitchhiking. One day a guy in a 61-63 t-bird picked me up.

I still get that same amazement at the interior of those birds as that first day I noticed them.

 

Wow. It's like Deja Vu all over again. That is EXACTLY the color my 'Bird was (minus the flames) before I started over!

An artist here in MI, Steve Brown, doing some artwork for me for inspiration, here's his rough work. The two tone will be laid out a little different, and I'm painting the bumpers body color eek: I know, I know, but I like that on this car), but it's just the preliminary art.

 

Here is mine

 

Guess it'd make more sense if I loaded pics of the candy black cherry color...

 

...and didn't load the same one twice...

 

here's my pretty girl... she's actually for sale..

 

Supremes with narrow WW's

Thanks, I like that too. I'm anxious to see the finished art, now that the prelim is done, and REALLY anxious to get busy and make it a reality! Have to finish up the w/s frame chop, and then I can get busy on cutting the top.

 

i noticed the front bumper is kinda stretched on top,, and the mouth is more square,, is that also gonna be done?
looks nice!!
love the covers behind the seats,, how is it called? never seen those before on a square,,but i'm from holland,, so all we see is cheese and weed

 

YA! They did a movie on them a few years back and I heard they had to get the Blue Angels do the stunt flying for them!!!

 

Here's my '63 Bird....plan to make a road trip this year to Montana, Idaho, and Washington state.

 

I love the work you did on the chop flyinbrian...cant wait to watch this one cometogether (as I do all your projects)

 

aaah so that's the bird you were talkin about!!
too bad i can't join you in that trip,, hope you have a great time cruisin!!
maybe someday i'll cruise along

 

nice pics everybody

 

I know I'll catch it for this, but here's my Thunderbird....an OT 1987 TurboCoupe that I have had for 20 years.....
