Saw this a few months back before the panel painting/scallops, looked like a nice car! Congrats!

 

Whoa! Way cool mang!!

Cool. Very Larry Watson-ish

 

Needs More Gigawatts!

Looks great man! Congrats!

 

Seems to be very solid, had a few lighting issues but seem to have them all squared away now. I ran 75 mph most of the way back home (100+ miles) and it felt like I was floatin' on a cloud with no problems.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I'm really diggin' it .

Well all the lights are now working correctly, installed new lamps and bulbs all around the outside, installed stainless eyelids, fixed the heater controls and lubed them up, got the clock working, put the new belts on, installed a new PCV valve, got the horns working, glued on some window rubbers, installed new hood bumpers, installed new door switches for the dome light, installed a new dome bezel and lens, repainted the guage needles and reinstalled the whole instrument cluster. Now I have to put the new door locks in, install the outside door handle pads, install the 2" lowering blocks, put a radio and some speakers in it and put the glove box back in.

 

You can't beat a Squarebird for out and out style, nice score!

very cool im kinda partial to squarebirds just a bit hey it would be a cool idea to register your bird with the t-bird registry i think thier website is tbirdregistry.com they have a huge database on t birds

 

Thanks for the heads up.

I'll go on there and check it out, I've got alot of info on www.sguarebirds.org too if you haven't been there.

 

great looking car,,,,,
if it were mine, i'd be tempted to flake the roof in that same copper color,,,
very cool as is though,,,,

 

Looks Great!

Saw the 'bird on the SB forum too.
(I'm my61brd on there)

My next Tbird just might be a '58-'60....

 

I like it.

 

Nice !

 

Cool car ..I like kustom7777's idea about a flaked roof...........

 

yeah im over there also lol

 

That's a neat car!! I love seeing that old school custom look. I agree with above statement, I thought of Larry Watson right away. Congrats!

 

Great looking bird you got there!

 

Nice Square Bird! Does it have the 352, or 430 engine? Or has it been upgraded with something even better???

 

If someone had tried to describe that paint job to me without seeing it, I would have said YUK....
But let me tell you I would have been WRONG..
Way nice..
I really like it.
Good for you, and nice find.
Cheers..........

 

Saw it at Carlisle...NICE !

 

Any updates on the bird?

 

I thought I saw it for sale some months ago.
