Broken Wing Project. The 'Bird

My poor old 'Bird has made it back in the work shop. Getting it to the garage was story on it's own. All I can say is Big Dog wasn't the only one to hit the dirt trying to get it loaded

I love f bodys

What's that blue knob I see there in the trunk

A lil bit of cheater Juice

Drop that 454 in there and have it ready for the 18th

Too much gear in it for the 454. It would be neat to see what it feels like coming out of the hole with that 454 + the Juice and a set of 456 gears
I've been wondering. What the highest you have run with your plate kit? You have the same thing I have. I think the smallest is 150? and on up and up to 400hp. I had the 150 in it when it was out last.
I've also misplaced my 90/10 shocks. I have no idea what I done with them.

First day we got it to the house we cleaned the slime off of it, toss away a bunch of garbage, ripped the dog house off and took the windshield out of it.

By the time we ripped the dog house off there were a few guys to help push it in the garage.

Tony & Derrek Shield, Joe Boggs, Kenny, Riggs, Myself and Aryan got her out of the weather. It went in the garage and I was ready for the windshield. While washing it the water was pouring in the windshield. I told someone that I just put that seal in and then thought about it. I did put one in about 15 years ago. LOL.. after it was in the garage Tony showed me why it was leaking. The bottom rubber that bolts on the car to hold the bottom of the winshield was gone. The windshield had slid on down opening the top of it. Only thing I can think of is when I nailed it in front of the house and slammed the front end on the ground last time it was out. I sheared the pins off the rear leaf springs and mess up my exhaust. I guess I knocked the bottom rubber off the cowl that day too.

I have jets to set mine at 125,150,175,250,300,350,400...... Put it in there.....im gonna be rushin around on mine .....i will be breakin a new motor in at the track

Some rust I found from the bad windshield. I'm going to have to rip the dash out and do some welding & metal work. The right side is rough the left side is perfect still.


I know this is typical of second gen F bodies but it's a big deal to me. It won't be patch up. This will be all redone in metal the right way.
I haven't ripped out the carpet yet to see how bad the floors are. I'm sure with the water pouring in I have some work to do.

I don't think I have half of those. I'll have to look but I think I have 150, 250, 350, 400 It's been a while since I've looked though I may have more than that.
