1963 THUNDERBIRD SPORTS ROADSTER
Complete Rotisserie Restoration
in progress now


HAPPY NEW YEAR! January 2, 2005 update:
I haven't had a lot of time the past few weeks to work on the Roadster,
and I've only got about 6 days in January that I can work on it too,
so the updates will be coming a little slow. I'll be able to hit it hard
again in February. I always take in the Auctions in Scottsdale AZ in January.
There are 5 auctions in the 10 days I'll be in AZ, They are Kruse,
Barrett Jackson, Russo & STeele, Silvers and RM Auctions. Lots of cars will
be going to different homes, who knows what'll end up here...
I did manage to get the small parts painted black, and the hinges for the doors
and deck lid painted silver mink. I use Acrylic Enamel on the car for
everything except the outer body on which I'll use base/clear.
I didn't have any silver paint around, so the springs didn't get painted yet.
