    This is what's been taking up most of my time when I'm not out chasing points in Ultra Stang. Dad's Thunderbird is almost done so I took some shots for you guys. Should be fast.

    We don't do "old Thunderbirds". :D Now somebody beat me on the "Buick Maverick's" auction so I'll have to keep looking. Wonder if Andy sold his Comet yet?

    That hood won't close without the hole cut out for the scoop, would it?

    Yeah, it looked like an awful lot of motor to fit under the stock hood...

    Last time we ran the car it went 9.45 @ 146 mph. That was at 3050 lbs and with a smaller camshaft (.690" roller). Once we get things lined out it should be a solid 8.90-9.10 car. Got it down to 2900 lbs over the winter and spring. More camshaft, better ring package, chassis upgrades.

    I tried to talk him into a 565" engine but he told me to pay for it.....so I'm doing that one for MY Thunderbird. ;)
