Nice work Daniel, although I'm not at all surprised it turned out great.
 
Thanks Guys, If anyone decides to go to the AutoShow, Make sure to check out the car in level 100 of the dome. Also, this car is NOT a trailer queen. We attend all car shows, the car is offen used in weddings and such. Last year, we were contacted to use the car in the Easter Parade. The T-bird was completed 16hours before the show. She is truly a labour of love!
 
were did you get the long block? nice looking car. clean job
 
Hi Lucky.

We actually do all this inhouse. The long block is original to the car. We had a major oil leak due to bad crank bearings and rear main seal. I pulled the motor out. Inspected it fully..she was to worn to repair. We had her fully rebuilt and professionally painted and cured in Pur15. The whole job took us 4months. As we fully rebuilt every nut and bolt of the car.
 
Thank You all for the support. Means Alot to the crew here at Heritage and my Family, We have been into Vintage Cars and Bikes all our lives, hand building this baby, was an old school level of education, looking back on tech manuals to set up old voltage style regulators.

Next on the rebuild block is a 1969 Triumph 650 Chopper, this one is for me though..keeping her.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Thanks Everyone for the Help. Voting ends Feb 3rd. Lets push this beautiful t-bird to the top 3.

Would like to extend a sincere Thank You, The 56 T-Bird Placed 3rd Place at the Cruise Nationals. My Sister and Brother In Law are overjoyed with the news.

If you plan on attending the Auto Show, The Car is located in 100 level, inside the section with all the exotics.

Have a Great Day.

Daniel
