donnie don't know off hand but i'm about to call the torqthrust-terry guy from ebay that sells bullet lugs with the shank for supremes if i get ahold of him i'll ask while i got him on the phone and post back for you. i just got a nice black '66 tbird interior for the buick. sent the money off yesterday should be here middle of next week. give details on the bird. what wheels you puttin on it what the plan clean classy driver for the lady or are you gonna go wild on it? what wheels are you gettin? i know a guy that had a set of tbird wires in good shape for a song not so long ago. i love those cars and will do one someday hopefully for someone else since i'm runnin out of space...ken....
ken,thanks dude i just got back from the wheel shop....i got her.....big suprise here ..SUPREMES.!!!!!!....i am actually getting the car from another hamber here....for a song.but i will keep his identity a secret unless he wants it public...and no it is not marcus' brother's 66..haha.......yeah of course i am gonna do it up full 60s style...no bellflowers on this one though......ya know its weird most people hate those birds . but i think they an be done just as cool as anything else...then again nobady like the olds when i got it and now people really dig it.... i am gonna re paint it the car all shiney partially because thats what we like and partially because if its not repainted it will always be ''his old car'' know what i mean ? ...dude she is so stoked right now........my buddies and i were telling her we are gonna bag it and call it the '' t- bag''....she didnt find it as funny as we did...i think it will make a******in 60s custom for her.....its kinda my way of sayin thanks for being such an awesome wife.....
I expect we'll get a full preview of that t-bird FYI you'll be painting my lincoln sometime next year Its a whooooole lotta surface to sand.. Bolt size is same on mine.
HaHa...you said T-bag. And you're looking for the size of nuts you need. Can't wait to see what you do with it. The car that is.
donnie, if you want the bullet lugs like snacky has on the rivi i talked to terry and he is out of them for the next week or two but has several hundred on the way. he's gonna email me when he gets 'em in and ifn' you want a set of those i'll email when i get the mail form him. i told him there would probably be several guys here that would want a set and would pass the word on when the time comes. now you got me wondering on the tbird. theres only one or two here that i know of and only one that was for sale. damn you and your good taste.haha. you gots to do good stuff for the ladies if they are cool enough to support the crazy***** we do. slowed down on the plymouth for the wife but i'll be back on it in a coupla weeks full swing. just got the urge to drive the buick a little this summer to. good luck with the new project and send me pics of nice shiny stuff sometime. finally starting to try to squeeze other people***** in the shop. got some kid that wants me to 'flake the roof of his '63 bel air but he hasn't given me a time frame. gotta get the buick out so i can have a free stall...ken....
ken, thanks man.but i think i am gonna stick with the plain ole lugnuts....glad you are doin the buick and not letting it sit. ....heh like mine......yeah my wife deserves her own ride.......she's rad......honestly sometimes i am surprised she married me. i am definately not '' normal.''...haha .......cool man take care.......
Hey Donnie....congrats on the T-bird......I have a 65 Bird.......I love that car....if you need any extra trim pieces let me know....I might have it...I parted out a 64 and ended up with double of most everything.......... I bagged my Bird and tilted the whole front clip......yea it's a uni-body......there is a trick to it....hehehe
really cool man...... I WANT PIX....... those cars are cool.....i cant figure out why people dont do em up.....oh well i guess we are more brave than most.....haha.....
