A new Bird for me! Reply #15 – January 07, 2014, 02:35:17 AM Nice! A new engine going in always gives oneself a warm fuzzy tingle. Quote Selected
A new Bird for me! Reply #16 – January 07, 2014, 11:36:37 PM Nice car! A kid down the street from me picked a two tone grey one up a few years back. I left a note on it with my interest to purchase it from him. He never responded and quickly turned it into a pile of neglected rust and destroyed paint. Quote Selected

A new Bird for me! Reply #19 – January 09, 2014, 09:15:43 PM Well it looks like I'll have it back Saturday, then I'll take some good pictures. The pics make the paint & top look a little better than it is. Next up is a headliner, I kinda think a set of buckets from a 63-66ish tbird would look cool with a console from 77-79. Quote Selected
A new Bird for me! Reply #21 – January 10, 2014, 06:24:59 PM I'd like to jump up to a 4bbl eventually, the intake is already a performer 302 with an adapter. Then I want to ditch the 14's and get some turbines. I'm a painter by trade so I'd love to repaint it down the road but I don't have the space for that now. Next week I'm going to have the headliner and maybe the top replaced. Right now i need to find a way to fix the "axle"(for lack of a better term) that the headlight door rotates on. It gets stuck unless you're right there to guide it up. I just want a comfy DD so I want it to stay mostly stock for now. Quote Selected
A new Bird for me! Reply #22 – January 11, 2014, 05:28:45 PM So i was thinking of these seats:With this style center console:but looking at things i think i like this style console too, but it would have to be cut down into a consolette. I also wouldn't know if the seats and the older style console would fit in the car. im sure the 77-79 console would be fine since its super narrow. It would also give me two cupholders if I retain the collumn shift. Quote Selected
