We have three birds in the house today. Two in the smoker and this one for SR!


I have the chassis fitted but not drilled yet. I'm only posting the pic so I make sure I get it finished in time to ship! LOL!

Anybody know where I can find BSA wide whitewalls?
 
Nice bird!!!! Looks very cool.

P.s. you need wheels or it won't win for sure!!!
lol
 
Good lookin car, I keep thinkin it reminds me of "Thelma and Louise" or maybe I'm thinkin of the wrong movie. Either way great lookin car. Man this class is just going to explode this upcoming year.
cool

look like a 57 Bird, with a non-port hole 55 hard top. Who makes that kit?

It's a NOS AMT kit I picked up on ebay. It also came with a custom fastback hardtop that I thought would be more "aero" but it was fugly IMHO so I went with the factory top. Yep, it should have portholes for '57 but this one didn't for some reason.

Is that a '57 'Bird? Where's the continental spare tire? Looks good! Maybe I'll see you on the track... soon.

The Continental spare tire was an option in this kit but the rear bumper extension it used interfered with mounting the body to the pinewood chassis so I skipped it.

I am rockin' the fender skirts, though!

Thelma and Louise drove a '66 Thunderbird convertible.
