A dream come true.   

I wish I had a Superbird sitting in my bodyshop. 

Last night I had a dream that I found a clapped out Superbird shell in poor condition for a decent price. I then, in this dream, built the car using my 70 Satellite and all of the stuff that we've collected for the clone. Then I woke up. 
Anyone else ever have a dream like this?

 looks real straight from the pictures  ................

Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

[BigBlockSam]

did you have to clean the bed up when you woke up

Like he was Elemered glued to the sheets

How did it roll to the flat bed, and how are they going to move it once it's there.

[FJ5WING]

The body is super solid and super straight, not a wrinkle in it. Almost no bondo and VERY little cancer to address. The trunk is solid with some scaling. Only need to patch the drivers side footwell.

The car is sitting on body wheels from US Car Tool....Im real happy with them. the pic shows the car with just the rears installed.

Not much of a picture taker though......Some of the documented threads on this site are incredible.Ive already kicked myself for not taking enough pictures during the dis-assembly.

I needed to edit...............I mis typed rears for fronts.

it should look nice with some paint on

SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME FIRST .  I would have hauled it off for free

NASCARXX29 Dave asked about my progress so I decided to keep it all together rather than hijacking that thread.

I had a friend (Matt M.)restore the inside of the nosecone. Im very happy with the results. Now if the guy holding my body hostage would kick it up a notch I could get the nose out of my way and into his shop.

before pics inside of the nose.

[FJ5WING]

inside the nose after.

[superbirdtom]

hey thanks for the pics. when i got my bird it was in pieces and i had no idea that the wires and hoses were taped together. could you e-mail me some shots with the wiring and vacuum harness out of the nose ? as i am tearing my nose apart next week for a redo.   thanks  SBT        tomferry@ak.net         oh yes On the right hand by the popsicle stick is that another piece of special metal I may be missing??   I also need a set of new rubber pieces. I will get from dayclona. and I see now  kinda where they go too.  thanks

[moparstuart]

nice

[BigBlockSam]

very cool 

[FJ5WING]

SuperbirdTom,

I sorry I dont have any pics of the harness before it was installed.

Im not the best guy as far as documenting. I am trying to do a better job after coming to this board and seeing how it's done.

[hemi68charger]

Looks good Dave.... Nice job on the nose.. Won't have to worry about rust now........... 

[nascarxx29]
