Hi, if someone has a 1960 Roof Emblem that's not on the Bird, can you please give me the measurement between the two pins.

Thank you

Thanks Randy. It looks like 7 5/8" from center to center, from one end to the other. What is that round piece of steel? Any chance of taking a broader picture, as I plan to put a '56-'57 Port window there.

Thank You.

Port Windows

Hi, has anyone installed Port Windows on their '60 T. Bird.
If so, any pictures from inside & outside would be gratefully appreciated. My biggest worry is the Emblem holes, as they are very close to the Port window outer diameter size. The inner part of the Bird is the steel rod running dead smack in the middle that supports the roof lining. Any pix or suggestion greatly appreciated.( As of 1st July we're able to do certain modifications in South Australia.)

Thank You

Chris, there was member from Poland or Holland I think that had port holes in his rear pillars.... maybe Marco? Can anyone else remember his details?

[Wyldie]

I have a set of complete portholes here in WA if you're interested, pretty sure they are foMoCo. Can check if you like

[bird 60]

You're right Bill it is Marco, but his is a '58 & doesn't have the long T. Bird emblem. The '58 has a round, & the '59 has the small emblem & not in the centre.
When are you coming to Adelaide?

Chris.

Hi Michael, yes, I would be interested. Are they new? Is it a complete set with the in between gasket. Can you send pictures, & how much are we looking at.

Thank you.....Chris

Ah, thats right!

Did a flash trip 2 weeks ago to see the Crows crush Fremantle, in Saturday and out Sunday....no time for anything unfortunately. I will be back in September for finals ( I hope ) so I will let you know then, and we can just hope that its not a Power v Crows match or we might not want to catch up!!

Port Windows

I can tell you this about Marco's '58 in the Netherlands with port hole windows. They were already installed in the car when he bought it and had it shipped to him. I know this because that Tbird came out of San Antonio, as I documented it for him. So he had nothing to do with installing them. Personally, I like the port hole look of the Babybirds, and also in the Squarebirds. Others may not, but I do.

Hi Ray, I think we both share similar, as you have customized your "ROSE" some what, in good taste of course. About the only 2 main things that I would be looking at, is the Port Windows & possibly the sequential rear indicators.
We haven't heard from Marco for awhile, I hope he's O.K.

Port Windows

Chris, it has been a few months since I last heard from Marco. He was okay, and busy with the family. Since you mentioned the sequential tail lights, as a reminder, that information is posted in the TRL. Here is the link to it.

Also, the link to Web Electric Products is posted right below it. I think, the sequential unit you would need is the STS-1, according to Eric Jones, write up, but they can tell you for sure. You can get it with a control switch, or without one. I would think I would like to have the control switch. These sequential flashing units are still available from Web Electric Products, according to their website.
