New Look

Hi Wolfman:

How is life in the Netherlands? Hope you and family are well.
Sorry for the delay in commenting on your "new look." Trying to get used to a new computer. The pictures of that you posted of your Thunderbird look like you are about half-way done. Is that right?
Is it warm enough now in the Netherlands for paint to dry properly? What color are you going to paint it? Original?
Keep us posted with your progress and keep giving us the pictures as well.
All the best.
Tim, Florida

New Birth for the T-Bird

You are right. I failed to scroll down far enough to see the finished product. Now that I have done that, I can see the work you have done. I like it a lot. Great Job. Have you wet-sanded and buffed it yet? The color looks good on these Birds.
What is the next thing you will do on the Bird? Interior? Motor?

No he is almost ready now. The Interior and motor are good.
The only thing that needs to be done is the ball joint ( i hope its the right word in englis).

The steering wheel vibrates a litdle.
But thats a job for the next summer. To cold now outside.
And i dont use him mutch in the winter.

I have a other old car i drive now daily to work and back.

Winter

Hope you are able to store the Bird inside for the winter. All the work you have done to the Bird deserves to be preserved from winter moisture.
And, by the way, your English is much better than my Dutch!
All the best to you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
