Spending too much, sooooooooo_____
My wife can't understand all the spending for mod's on my 07 GT. Sooooooo, to please her (lol) I bought another project: (there goes her parking spot in the garage)
a 1964 Thunderbird Hardtop 390c.i.d/300h.p. She'll need a lot of work, but it will be a labor of love for me. She'd been asleep in a barn since 1994. Got her running, and smooth too, a lot of cleaning & cleaning & cleaning, and a set of new shoes, and she's not half bad to look at. Well from thirty feet, anyway. Now to deal with that vacume system that runs just about everything on these old flair birds, or in my case, NOT. But, no rush, jusr something to justify spending on my toys with.
Sooooooooooo, here she is:
oh yeah: 43 years after birth, I found the build sheet tuck under the rear center console, neatly tucked in a vinyl sleeve. (was a neat surprise)

...well, no more excuses. Latest car show is over. Soo now the Stang goes out, and the T-Bird is in. Gotta make a little elbow room in there though. Maybe, just maybe, the wifie's car will have to go out (can't have the Stang catching a Florida cold now). Besides my friendly UPS driver keeps showing up, so I have to start some noticable progress on her. I'll be dead meat if she catches me under the hood of the Stang again (for a while, anyway).
I have a few newer ones cause I didn t like the Mustangs since 73....... Oh wait had a 79 Capri turbo .love it
