This amazing custom Thunderbird has been chopped, shaved, widened, plus much more. The body modifications “would take a full page just to delineate.” Everything is reported to have been done correctly with metal being either MIG or TIG welded. The car was stripped to bare metal during the frame-off build. It was then prepped and painted with Orion Silver base, Pagan Gold mid, and House of Kolor Clear. The phenomenal gold-toned paint job was featured in the House of Kolors annual calendar as one of the six best paint jobs featuring their products during the year. It looks fantastic with the complementary white and gold leather interior.
The car features a stock 352-cid, 330-hp V-8 engine that has been rebuilt and is matched with a C6 automatic transmission. Other equipment on the Thunderbird that is sure to be well-received includes an aluminum radiator, new wiring harness, new U-joints, all-new brake system with dual brake booster, new N.O.S. front end that is powdercoated, new shocks, hoses, belts, rebuilt carburetor and custom dual exhaust. Everything on this platform is said to be new or rebuilt. Other equipment includes Vintage Air conditioning, top-flight stereo system, custom dash, phone, quad gauges; power windows, steering and brakes. The car has travelled only 2,900 miles since its completion in 2011 and has won many awards, as well as being featured in Street Scene, Rod and Kulture in a four-page write-up.
