'52 thunderbird? Very nice
Brando had a '50 t'bird in The Wild One and it looked the business
Oh yes! I keep looking at the pictures to inspire me. I really need to get myself into gear with it and make some progress. When I say 1952 that's the year I believe its from, however I was given several Documents with the Bike (That used to be my Grandpa's). One of the Documents (I believe Insurance) quotes it as a 1949 Thunderbird, however one other document mentions it as a 52. Things seemed to be a bit looser back in those days compared to now! Imagine those discrepancies on the V5 document!
I will put some together, its not very pretty at the moment as its really just a pile of bits. But i shall get something together and once i step this up a gear i will do my best to put a sort of log together.
Was going to bid for a t'bird project at a Bonhams auction but it went for something like 1600 quid! It was in a bit of a state too!
