BlackBird

[Robert81]

Started as a bone stock 56 T-Bird, lowered it added Torque Thrusts, a small hoop Roll bar, and a Monster Ford 427 Cammer.

Turned out to be more of a sleeper than I planned, but there isn't much you can do to a two seat Bird.

Turns out it has more Hot rod rake then, a tail dragger, I was going for.

The Cammer fit with surprising ease, no cutting at all. Just a longer driveshaft, and a set of headers.

I love these wheels, None Chrome Torque Thrusts out of the AMT 62 Impala convertible.

OK, what Have I done SO wrong that nobody has anything to say about my T-bird?

Other forums I have posted this build on liked it, and I don't expect those people to comment here if they are on this forum, too.

It's not a rivet counted replica stock, but that is not my style.

It doesn't replicate a real car, and it's not suppose to be.

what is wrong with it?

Lay it to me honestly. I can take bad comments, as well as good.

I like the rake on it ... like there's some huge motor weighing down the front end. "pops the hood" OH MY .. there IS! Looks good in black.. especially with the removable HT on.

Rob I think it's super. I love the 56s better that the 57s. I don't see a thing wrong w. it. Keep it up. Don't ever let the lack of posts discourage you.

The body color and wheel/tire combo really go well together. I am going to have to try that combo on a future build. Thanks for the idea.

i agree with carrucha the wheel/tire combo looks really nice.

Looks good, nice engine choice

Looks good to me. Who wants to build anything completely stock? I like personalize my reaal vehicles and do the same to the model kits I build.

T-Bird with a big cammer. I love it!
