Oh yeah, here we go!!!

[SpeedyNH]

is that a '58 T-bird?

[4424ever]

very close its actually a 1960 but that's splitting hairs with this generation of Tbird

[slothead]

Looks like your building a great looking modified, which is an ideal use for this car. I grew up in a Ford family and we were very loyal, but considered this model of the T-Bird to be one of the ugliest cars ever made. After what the original T-Bird was, this car was like letting a 3 year old redraw the Mona Lisa with crayons. But without the bucktooth grille it will actually look so much better as a modified.

[SpeedyNH]

aha. be interesting to see how it turns out.
i learned to drive on a '56.

Many people felt that way Slothead the funny thing is I feel like that three year old with the crayons
Bye the way mine are broken

[slothead]

You're doing the car and everyone a favor by giving it a radical makeover. I'd have a hard time taking a torch or Dremel to a nice '40 Ford body, but a '60 T-Bird is begging to be dissected. Sad thing is, this model of T-Bird actually did very well sales wise compared to the earlier 2 seater because it had room for more passengers and now could be sold as a family car.

I'm looking forward to seeing your racing version, and already know it's going to be a big improvement even with broken crayons.

So Cool and creative, I can't wait to see how it turns out. Thanks for sharing

[Fathead59]

I can't wait for it to be done , and a 1:1 car as a resto-mod would be nice

[4424ever]

Well it’s finally done and will be migrating south

[strangebrew]

That's the spirit........Never be a follower is my motto.
Looks great....I hope I can be at HRW & run that thing on the 18th......Brew

3 Cheers for a great looking race car. I'll be checking it out when the Showdown gets underway.

[REL13]

That looks really nice, You did a great job on this build.

[4424ever]

Thanks guys I’m not 100% happy with it but it will run

[TuscoTodd]

That tuned out awesome!

[slothead]

The only suggestions I would make are to reposition the headers backwards so they aren't as close to the front wheels, and apply some decals with more 'pop'.

The numbers on this Stan Lee tribute Mustang make it stand out in my opinion.


Here are some decals I have. If you see something you want let me know and I'll share them with you.

[4424ever]

Very generous offer Slothead I’m always on the lookout for decals and such!
Matter of fact the decals on this car are 1/24

[slothead]

I really like the flames on the T-Bird, those are very Kool. Less is more on a build like that. But if you want to consider anything I have it's your's.
