    Sunday drive

    Finally got some pics of both of the girls together when my son and I took them for a sunday drive yesterday. We found a couple of nice spots with the city of Perth and the Swan River in the background.

    The girls are almost finished, I just need those rear mouldings chromed (on the way from John Draxler & Ray) and the fender skirts painted and fitted, then I will be a happy man!

    Sunday drive

    Hi Bill,

    Thanks for posting the pix! They are very nice and the cars look very nice. I like the skyline background you picked to pose in front of. Nice looking!

      Very nice Bill,

      Now tell us which of the two is your Favourite, Penelope,or Pearl? We know Penelope was your first but is she the one?
      Is there any jeolosy between the two? Do you spend more time detailing one more than the other?

      Good to hear from you Bill.

        GREAT looking pair. Now you only need a ´58 as well
        Looking at this pic, why do you have such a big difference on the positioning of the numberplates? Cool numbers btw.
        Mine happends to be in between these positions.

          Thanks guys, and no Chris, no favourite allowed as the other might hear me, so shhhh! A 58 would fill the trilogy and yes I would love one. I plan on moving the plate on the 60 so it is in the same spot as the 59....why did they change that grill? The 59 is so much cleaner in my opinion.

              Those Birds look fantastic together!!

              Why not use a factory front L/plate bracket??

                    Observation: From the pictures, it appears that the 59 has a slightly higher stance than the 60 especially at the bumper and headlight areas. Then, I look at the roofline and it appears to be the same height. I know it has to be an illusion but I kinda like the 59's stance better.

                    Wonderful Tbirds and they should never part!
