superbird returns

after a three month wait the superbird is nearly complete. see pics below. some minor reassembly and it will be done (decals, bumpers etc). in the pics is only wearing an old set of 12 slotters, the 15*7 and 15*10 cragars are going back on.

next step is stroking the 302 to 351. bought a 351 crank, going to run 302 conrods with the new special pistions. going in for the new motor next week.

Re: superbird returns

The Quote ( original louver ) what a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Genuine louvers are hinged at the top & bolt to the roof & are NOT held on with the little tabs like the 1 on ebay
The guy that bought it got RIPPED
I have a genuine 1 in my carport that I sold to a mate of mine just waiting for him to pick it up
