Window Tinting Benefits

2009-10-10T16:45:00.005-07:00

The fact that window tint provides so many practical benefits is what has caused the popularity of this accessory to skyrocket.

1963 Ford Thunderbird - Big Bird

Bob and Robin Collier's Slo Touring 1963 Ford Thunderbird is a cure for boredom

This '63 Ford Thunderbird was redone as a bone-stock resto in the late '90s, but Bob and Robin Collier of Tacoma, Washington, eventually got bored with that. That's when they installed Air Ride suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, a narrowed 9-inch, and ET Classics wheels. Under the hood is nothing crazy, just a re-creation of a mid-'60s, Mercury-only, 410ci version of the vintage Ford FE mill. The straightforward combo results from the simple marriage of a 428 crank to the T-bird's original 390 block and is greatly enhanced by Edelbrock's heads and intake, a Crane hydraulic cam, and FPA headers. Obviously, the Colliers' 2-ton Dearborn beauty has never been about hard-core performance. Rather, it's a sweet street machine for those with a bent for the nontraditional.
