Anyone looking for bird parts? I have been given the ok to sell off the parts not being used.

All parts are off of the 59' bird I am currently working on.

A running 352 with working automatic when removed from the car in 2010. Factory a/c, vent windows, pot metal body parts, emblems , door handles, chrome pieces, front brakes drums, rear glass, radio etc..

No fair! I was excited to see you posted an update. I'm really looking forward to seeing this!

[Dan Leavens]

Keith I agree with Doug. Certainly you could post some " snip it " pixs of your progress similar to the grille shot you posted earlier

[keith]

Here's some pictures of the Front Fender rear aprons. There were front ones but no rear ones. That might explain why there was so much rust in the torque boxes and rockers. I made new ones. Used ones seemed expensive to buy and cut up to fit the new opening. I repaired the front ones. I still need to weld some braces on the front ones and the rear ones.

hows it coming along?

We are installing the engine and transmission. I will post pictures of the motor mounts and transmount . Going to the salvage yard to find a drive shaft Saturday.

[keith]

Holy cow time fly's by. Making progress, but not as fast. I'm not a mechanic so I have to make stuff I'm not familiar with. Engine and trans is now installed so I'm back to figuring out how to mount a aluminum radiator,making brackets,etc..

Here's pictures of the motor mounts and trans mount.
