Any Customized 1957 T-Bird's out there??? Pic request. My wife's new car

My wife has been fanatic about 57 T-Birds, so we finally found one. My question is, has anybody ever customized one, or should I leave her's alone as is???
Picture request.
Thanks, Chris
Here is her's

 

Looks great - no port hole in the C pillar is extra nice. Just enjoy it.

 

**** Jacksons car is really cool

 

a few

 

Didn't Doane Spencer do a custom T-bird? I remember a R&C cover about 92,93,94 that had a really good looking T-bird with a 32 roadster on it. I carried it around junioir high til the cover fell off. Both cars were black and were piss your pants perfect.

 

How about let her decide? Thats what I would try to do.

 

When I show my Bird in custom show I remove skirts and
install custom wheel covers.

Tom C.'s birdie...

 

Drop it and drive it. She's a beauty!!!!!!!! Congrats.

 

in my opinion, there's nothing that can be done to improve that car's appearance. Change it, yes, but not improve it.

 

I'd say maybe put some different wheels and lower it,but I wouldn't customize it. Hard to say...I like it though!

 

I remember seeing this T-Bird at Famoso...CHRR 06? I think. Anyway, sad thing was the following Monday I was on my way to Van Nuys and saw it on the side of the road, burned to the ground with the exception of the back portion of the car. That was the only reason I was able to recognize it. It was a sad sight.

Kustom T-Birds are *****in'...




Chris, that's a really nice car. Maybe some white scallops, outlined in gold pinstripe... Ah hell, what do I know? It looks great as is, maybe a little lower...

 

Man, you just answered my question. There are cars, that don't need anything.

 

I would say leave it as is. Hard to beat the look stock.

 

I love this car, had it on a calender last year. Nads and I used to drool over it all the time. Kinda sick to chop up such a nice car, but I will say this. My buddy has done a few 100% resto's, for people down in West Palm Beach. I got to drive them and was not impressed. Hopefully a Kustom upgrade would make it drive-out better.
BTW...you must have one cool chick.

Yeah, she is the "one" that bought me a 30-31 Model A coupe, in december 2007.

 

GEEEZ! Cool cars AND cool chick too? Lucky *******.....oh yea!!! and you have talent!!!! triple crown!!!!!

 

Very nice- I'd add a reverse light kit, but that's it...

 

My wife loves a black '57 Bird; in fact, that and a Cameo are the only old cars that she likes. I'm happy for you and your wife.

 

My wife want's one of these too! What gives? Lower it!

 

Any more, Rickster are you here???

 

Here is mine. It's a survivor and has been in the family since '58 so I didn't want to cut it or modify it in any way that could not be put back easily.

 

That's really a nice car! Wasn't it at Pomona sunday?

 

Nice birds....here is my dads – remaining in a long hibernation. (E code, 3 speed-overdrive) Future "barn find"

I remember riding around this this thing when I was a kid - loved it!

 

Chris, My favorite was done by a guy in the midwest named Dave Guyman...It's a '55, but it's really *****in'

here's a link to Riksters site with some good picts.

He does some sweet rides for sure.

 

Anyone have pics of Doane Spencer's T Bird (yes bryan6902, he did do one)? I thought I had some, but can't find 'em!

 

Geez Chris, would I be on the money if I said that your trip to Australia was just put back 10 years........

Worth it for that car though, well done!

And M S, I'd own yours in a heartbeat.

 

Yeah, a minor set back, financially, but why the hell not, gotta live alittle.
I'll make it to OZ someday, going to Europe next month, to visit my folks, etc.
But it wont be 10 years until I terrorize Sydney.

 

Don't be scarred boy's ...........cut them up !!! after all look at how many are still in stock shape. and besides they aren't that rare and someone has to cut one up, might as well be you.

 

Bring it on
