1964 coral original bird restoration

[Nshoy]

Hello all
I’m having my late fathers 64 bird restored. We are forecasting July 4th completion date. I’m super excited to get her back on the road. This was the only car my dad has owned. He purchased it in 66. It’s on the rotisserie finalizing the fabrication and body work. The 1st layer of epoxy primer has been applied. I am so excited and can’t wait to see the final product. My builder in Wisconsin is bad ass. I’m so lucky I found him. I’ve seen some pics of his work. I’ll post pics when I can.

Very nice, can’t wait to see the final work. I have a Coral 2003.

Thanks for sharing. It looks like it will be a beauty when done and a family heirloom you can enjoy thinking of your dad every time you get in it.

Hey Nshoy, that's great. I also have a '64 so if there are questions that come up specific to that year, I'd be glad to help.

That’s a sweet car! I love the white interior. I was going to change the color of mine to white but my girlfriend said I would spend more time cleaning it that driving. Not to mention watching super close anyone riding in the car. I do think white really brings out the coral.

Thank you. I’m sure I’ll have tons of questions once I get the car back in my possession.

Thanks. The white interior has held up really well. No problem at all.
