sheetmetal

Hi guys,
it's bodywork time! I was wondering if anyone knew where to find new sheetmetal for the birds. my car only needs a door, but my dad's bird ... that's a different story. Any info on doors, fenders, quarter panels, and trunks are greatly appriciated.

Thanks,
Lee

body parts

hey lee,

here's someone close to you you can try for rust free factory stuff. he goes down south and gets the stuff...

Crazy Eddie's
1430 4th Avenue SE
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
52403
1-319-981-0967

Also put a call out on "www.junkyarddog.com" it is a national salvage yard parts location service and if they've got it, they'll get back to you!


let me know what you find out, 'cause there's still a couple of birds around here i might be able to scavenge!

paul

Try tbirdsanctuary.com. I think that's the right web address.
They sent me a catalog and I was very impressed.

Good Luck

Thanks guys,
Any info on where to find new stuff is great. Al, does that tbird sanctuary catalog have new parts or used ones, because if I had a choice I'd like new if it's possible. Paul, I'll check around with Crazyeddie, my dad says he's been there before. As for birdman93, i appriciate the offers, and I'd like to find out more about your club. please send me info to [email protected].

You guys are great! My car would never get done without you all!

Lee
