Where are all the pictures? If you were there, please post them Took the Bird to a Car Show last weekend, and had a great time. It was south of Nashville, about a 100 mile drive, so was covered with bugs when I pulled in. I actually had a hard time cleaning the car up, while trying to answer...

Most of you guys know that I am a gear head, but most do not know that this has been going on for several decades. Last month I received these 3 pictures from a guy that I had not seen or talked to in over 40 years. These were taken in 1967 in Vietnam. I was in a tractor and trailer unit...

I want to replace my boost gauge with one that can show max boost it saw. I am almost sure I say one some where. Anyone have some thing like this.

My Bird made it into the April issue of Modified Mustangs & Fords. They did the photo shoot at the NMRA race at Bowling Green Ky in Oct 09. Here is a scanned copy. 393Bird in Modified Mustangs & Fords Only one page, but I am Very Happy. Bruce

Does anyone here subscribe to Modified Mustangs and Fords magazine? They did a photo shoot on my Bird at NMRA in October, and said it would be in one of the issues around the first of the year. I pick mine up at the store, and it's not in the Jan Issue. Wondering when the new issues come out?

It is getting time for a new paing job ob the Bird, and trying to decide on what I want. I like it like it is, but may add a little more flash to it. Here is the car now. I am thinking I may try this Or this Just the red and blue strip. Can anyone put the...

Any of you guys going to BG this coming week end? I will be there with the Host Club helping, and look forward to seeing some of you. We will be taking care of the gates, parking, and the Car Show. No sure if I will enter the Bird in anything now, but will have it parked in Car Show area most of...

I spent a couple of days cleaning and waxing the Bird up, so figured I would snap a few fresh pictures. Car has over 200,000 miles on it, and that is the orignal paint still. Ordered it new as the family car late in 92.

I do not have a camera with sound, but was at a show a couple of weeks ago, and a guy took a short vid of the Bird. I will get another one with it on the track soon. http://members.tccoa.com/392bird/ysi-idle.htm

I do not have a camera that has sound, but was at a show yesterday, and a guy took this for me. http://members.tccoa.com/392bird/ysi-idle.htm It started raining shortly after, so I did not get a WOT Vid.

This is the only way that I can do it. 1/2 gal used loading it on the trailer, and another 1/2 gal getting it off the trailer after being trailered 20 miles home, after blowing a transmission cooler line last night. :) I had temporary trans cooler lines on it while I was doing all the...

I have been trying to decide on which way to go with my Bird. I am running a 393 with a Vortech YSi at 15 psi now. It does great on 93 octane by pulling a lot of timing as the boost goes up. The YSi is extremely good at making boost with out high heat (95 % of the NMRA Renegade cars run it...

I recently completed the engine compartment on the Bird, and thought I would post up a picture. The only thing I still need to do, is replace the temporary fuel pressure line going to the gauge in the hood. It has a YSi on iy, that I am holding down to 15 PSI for now. I will be adding...

Any of you guys have a FAST Wideband O2 A/F monitor mounted? I just got one, and trying to figure where and how to mount the control unit. Any pictures?

I have been working on this project car for a few years, and the last major item is the Vortech YSi. The SC install is complete, and only have the carb enclosure left. I mocked it up this weekend to see if I needed any thing else, and took a few shots. You can see the top...

Just completed the Roll Bar, Door Bars, and through the floor connectors. The carpet and race seas go back in this afternoon. http://members.tccoa.com/392bird/rollbar.htm http://members.tccoa.com/392bird/doorbars.htm I start the last phase Monday...

The Big Brown Truck made a delivery of a Big box yesterday, I have about another week of work to do on my roll bar before I can start on it. It is a Drivers Side YSi, Mondo Blow Off valve, carb box, some extra pulleys, and other pieces. I took them all out last night to inspect and...

Getting ready to get this thing legal, and put a roll bar in it. I drive it on the street also, so want swing out door bars. What are you guys using.

I had to do a lot of fab work to get these fitted, and then get them ceramic coated. I just finished installing them today. I have a few things to do, then get it to the exhaust shop to tie them into the rest of the exhaust. I will start on the Vortech as soon...

I was at a car show last weekend, and this beast drove in, and entered. I thought he had the engine tied down in the bed to sell, but it is where it is mounted. It is a BB Chevy with a 871 blower with "3" 4 barrel carbs. It feeds the power through the trans, into a offshore race boat V drive...

I am a happy camper. I made it into the June issue of MM&FF. They did the photo shoot of my Bird back in October at NMRA in Bowling Freen Ky. It is on Page 84-88. It seemed like a year since they took them, and I have done several things to it since then. Things to do this Summer: Get the...

I have always liked side exit exhaust, but also like lowered cars. The two do not mix well in most cases. Here is the solution to the combination of the two. I took this picture while out cruising last night. Close up. Full details on it here...

I have always like side exit exhaust, and wanted it on my TBird. It had a gas tank under the seat area, and would of been a real mess to install one on it as it was. I had installed a fuel cell in the trunk to make changing rear ends easier and so I could run a decent exhaust syatem. I am...

I finished glassing the scoop in last week, and took a few pictures. Here is what is going to happen to the exhaust when I get back from NMRA at Bowling Green next week end. It should turn some heads when it is completed mid month.
