I'd love to be able to visit someone with an unrestored (preferably four speed) Bird - that I could take some photos of for references in restoring my own Bird. We're getting close to paint, and thereafter, its re-assembly. We (me, and my two restoration buddies) would love to come and visit and take some photos / ask some questions.
Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Tennessee, WV, Western PA are all within a 4-6 hour drive time from us.
Would anyone be interested in helping out a fellow Bird owner (time table - sometime in the next six months or so)?

NO Superbird here.............. Very nice 'Bird there Steve.... :2thumbs:
Thanks. It's been a long time coming. I got it in 1981
...there are 2 non restored survivor 6BBL Birds in my town, one belongs to me and the other belongs to a good friend of mine...both cars are automatics...50 miles east of Indy
Indy is close. My bird is in Lexington my. Although I am in Pittsburgh
what are you needing to look at? my petty bird isn't a full survivor, but it is pretty untouched. not much use for paint splotches but decent for reassembly.
Doug - just looking at where hoses go and clamps and stuff like that. Radio antenna style. Decal placements. Just general miscellaneous nit-pick details
It might be fun to come over to Cleveland anyway and combine a car trip with seeing the Indians play. Thanks for the offer - I'll probably take you up on it next spring.
