Vintage Thunderbird Club International

Sorry, let me add a little more clarity to the issue. The bolt is still in there. It appears that the previous owner attempted to remove the bolts holding the hood to the hinge, but only succeeded in busting the nut backing loose, so it is about 3 turns from tight and "flopping" in the hole.

So I've made a cursory look through the forum and couldn't find it. Is there any way to reach the nuts INSIDE the hood that should be welded in? I have one loose nut in there. Thanks Birders

The problem is; when you turn the steering wheel to the right both wheels turn right, when you return to the left, the drivers side w...

Found Black 62 TEXAS plates in yhe car I just purchased, stuck under the passanger seat. Would love to believe that they are the ones that the car first had, but wishful thinking is what I do, just like I'm dreaming that the 69,XXX on the odometer is the first 70K. I know that most of these posts se...

I'm 27 and I now own my second BulletBird. Got my first when I was 16, but couldn't afford to get parts to do the job so it went to a new home. Just got my second last week for $3k (ridiculous deal, considering the condition of the car and the goodies I keep finding "original 62 Texas Plates un...
