The engine, and the original build from 1964. I resisted the urge to rebuild!

Whoa! The "new look" Bird really pops!! As much as I liked the original, this one has a better stance and the paint scheme is killer!

Very cool! I have never built a convertible, need to get one started, decals set it off!

Love those birds. I have a Clem Proctor build I started about twenty years ago, one day maybe I'll finish it. I hope it turns out as good as yours.
