'57 T-Bird

[franklinair]

Does anyone know of a T-Bird site like our HCS/CS site? I have to do some small repairs on Peggy's '57 bird. Shop manual no help. I need info on the glovebox & latch assembly.

If you have questions or are tracking down parts, Amos Minter is THE restoration guy for 55-57 Tbirds. His shops is awesome and he seemed like a very nice man.

At one point, several years back, I was contemplating buying one and went to Dallas to meet him. Ended up with my 64 Corvette instead.

Neil, did you ever get the gas tanks squared away Hope it was not too much of a hassle.

Yes David. The kid mistakenly put 5 gallons of Jet-A fuel in the T-bird & my'68 convertible. Drained both tanks, put in 5 gallons of 100 octane avgas and they both ran fine.
