New Egg In The Nest

[Iowa_gator]

FINALLY!!
Brought the new project home today.  Soon  a new bird will be born.  Still not sure of the finished scheme.  I have always wanted to do a nascar replica but I am having a hard time building a car that wouldn't have a gator top on it so not so sure I won't go the custom route.  Will have to see....

[Lighthorseman]

I wonder if you'll get finished before I do...or before Stuart gets his poor Birdible back on the road...

  Looks like agreat blank canves to create a master piece with.i see it was a ac,power steer car ,with out severe rust a great start. 
   what if  or wood it look like if someone just adpted an made a nose fit the stock 70 ply fenders an air grabber hood instead of  hunt an modify the harder too find 70 cornet nose?  have wondered this for some time just cut hood an fenders back few inches an build a lip to fit the nose or mod a nose to fit stock ply nose???

     please keep us posted with up dates.. DJ

Good find, a Nascar replica would be cool.

[Homerr]

Cool!  How long do you have to sit on top of it to hatch it?

       we need some race or custom birds out an about. like the gator tops.love wing cars,but rarly see them in oregon.

   does seem a little odd they fill door handle an lock holes but not the 50 some upper trim holes??  a kid here spent lots of bucks on engine an paint,but they just bondoed the trim holes and they cracked the paint an show back up real fast.

  any more pixs and plans??  dj

Hmmm, if I had a clean slate, let's think outside the box, I would go with EL5 "butterscotch" with black gator grain top and air grabber with black hood treatment, hood pins,440+6 4spd. Pistol grip, dana 60 4.10's , black interior, buckets, console, power windows, am/fm, factory tips out the back, 15" Cragar SS mags with Good year polyglass tires 

or the same as above but done as a Superbird..

Looks like a great solid car to start with.  I bet Stuart loves that it was green.  440 or hemi?

Going with a Hemi for sure.  Not sure about tranny yet....either the new passons 5 spd or a keisler 6 spd....opinions?

[Mopar Nut]

Go with the 6 spd and top it off with that hemi.
