Labor of love
Hi all. Its been a while sense my last update on my tbird project. Most what I have been doing has been deconstruction. Rebuilt the front end , added the air-ride and disc brake conversion . The nightmare of tar on the floorboards , that the previous owner used to, I jokingly refer to, as a repair of cancer. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Thanks for the kudos
Thanks for the kudos jidi. I will post more pix and don't give up that happens to me all the time too.
NICE!!
A little fresh dye sure makes things look new again.
I've talked to a lot of guys that wished they would have bought a unit similar to yours-after buying a piece here and there, they all said in the long run it would have been cheaper to get the whole system together with all the fittings and been done.

Well I got the air ride done in the front of my 63. Here is a video.[URL=./image-archive/s1124.photobucket.com/album ... .jpg[/img][/url]
Those 'spacer-bars' between the booster and its mounting bracket look kinda rough'n'ready, I guess they're only there while you get things sorted?iDusty wrote:And do I love to paint. I did an imitation carbon fiber with a paint in the engine compartment.
You can see a little of it behind the booster.

Well I didn't want to replace the molding and if I remember correctly, I made a temp-let from cardboard and cut some 18 gage. migged it in , ground back the welds and made some support for the back side.edpol wrote:What did you use to fill the brows, and what will you use for new molding, if you use molding?
Nova, that pic is too small to see the details. Hope I'm not encouraging.
I thought I would cut the ones I have to the right length and polish them. But I am open to suggestions.novanutcase wrote:Are you going to make an actual spacer or just polish the ones you have already?Yep your right ..... Thats why I made them from aluminium so that I could cut and polish them later. Nice Catch !
