65 THUNDERBIRD

The body work has started on our 65 T- Bird, the interior and engine parts have been painted "Blazin Copper" that will be the color of the car. You can see progress pictures on Face Book by going to Joe Russo, page and Hackbeery Auto body Blog.

 The gray is the primer over the finished body work.

 The new smaller Gas door has been installed and finished.

 Engine parts received the same attention and preparation as the body.

 The gauges and dash were taken apart for chrome and paint then put back together so it can be sent to Dakota Digital to be converted to digital gauges and to incorporate a cruse control.

 I'm glad that I took pictures when I took the dash apart so it could be put back together.

 Center console painted.

 Dash also painted.

 Rear panel and seat backs as well as all the other interior parts that were the stock color are painted.

 Below are pictures of the engine mocked up with the painted parts.

 A update on the caboose project the interior drywall has been been completed.

 The metal corner trim still needs to be completed then it can be taped, filled and textured.

 It looks a lot different with the sheet rock up.
