I'm still new to the world of Thunderbird, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question.
After I undo the fittings for the filter, how do I move the two metal bands that clamp the top to the bottom?
I haven't even attempted this for fear of breaking the glass.
I have a flickering gen light. The gen light is lit bright when key is turned on but car not running, which I believe is correct. Then when the car is running, the gen light is dimmer but seems to flicker. Is this from low charging from the generator? Car has 6v fully charged battery. I tested...
Was down a Barrett Jackson and witnessed restomods selling for more that originals. Seems more buyers are looking for better suspension and power plants than what was originally introduced.
As indicated my car is a basket case which I had planned on restoring.
Has anyone replaced their...
When we started this build I thought I wanted to use the fender skirts, but once the wheels were on it, I didn't want to hide them. The molding is also available. I had the stone guards chromed before I decided to leave them off the car. All of it for $400

Hi everybody. For the life of me I can't figure how the pawl spring is installed. I'm thinking maybe a piece of it might have broken off but it does look like the one in my Illustration Manual. Any Ideas or videos?
This car was retro-modded in 1998 but Andrew Keegan, the actor, who was then dating Leann Rimes, the country music star, who has ridden in the car. I bought the car in 2009 from Mr. Keegan. The paint is opalescent with 20 pounds of crushed pearls in the paint. The dove grey interior matches the...
Hello ladies and gentleman,
I was wondering if anyone was aware of any memorabilia for the first generation Thunderbirds. What I am really interested in is if any of you know of/have a Thunderbird specific flag, preferably in 2' x 3' dimensions. I just recently bought a '55 Thunderbird and...
Hey, have a 292 out of a 56 T-Bird that I have purchased from my Aunt. I am going a different way with the choice of power plant, so this I do not need this. I hate to part out everything individually because it is as close to complete as you can get, minus a couple things like the carburetor...
