Now that the Chevelle is finally done, I can get back to the T-bird. I finished up the engine this afternoon. It's plumbed and wired and ready to go in.

Holy smokes! It's been a while since I've worked on this one. Now that the Chevelle is done, I'm getting back onto some older projects. I spent this last weekend finishing up and smoothing out the frame, the front suspension and the rear end and hiding all of the surgery scars. Then this afternoon I threw some paint on it.

So after assessing everything, I've decided that I'll tackle the frame/suspension part of the build. When this started, I was thinking that this was originally going to be a traditional custom but after looking at that monster motor, I imagined a 50's custom that someone got ahold of in the 70's and threw in a blown big-block and made it more of a 70's street machine but kept the original body mods. I'm envisioning bright-colored paint, Cragar SS wheels on white-lettered radials, bucket seats, etc. So I pulled out all of the suspension/frame related parts that came with Snowball and here is what I have to work with to put the rolling assembly together. Everything you see in the pic came with Snowball. Whatever I need that's not here, I will rob the parts box for it. I then started by temporarily gluing the frame rails to the underside of the floorboards. I'm using Elmer's glue so that I can easily pull this back apart once I have things mocked up. Stay tuned......

Snowball arrived today! Here's what I pulled out of the box. And it looks like the engine made it in one piece....

I really like this!!

One of these came into work the other day. They are sure a mean-sounding car through the exhaust.

Wow. That's no small undertaking. I'll be watching this one.

This is your way of easing back in? Sheesh! Top notch stuff here!!

:lol: Awesome!!!

Awesome! I'll let you know when it arrives!

I love it!!

That's insane! Great job!!

Awesome!!

Beautiful collection Tim!!

And what's really cool is that it's a parts box rod! Nice job!

What? No Thanksgiving dinner?? Rude.

Oh hell YES!!! This one has been a long time comin'!!

Anyhoo........ Well worth the wait. That model is GORGEOUS!!

Easy fellas. I wire 'em in the correct firing order also. Nice lookin' truck by the way!!

Those are a couple of beauties!!

I can't really say on the other two but this is my AMT '34 that I built about ten years ago. You be the judge.

That's wicked cool!

Why is everyone's quickies better than my longies?
