Sean, Now that was mega-cool! It was a pleasure to finally meet/see Nick and his shop. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to make it happen. Wifey has had me doing a few honey-dos, but they're now pretty much done and you've got me all fired up to get back out in the garage. Btw...when are you planning to head back to Memphis? Regards, John
Hi John! Looking at the last week of June to head back to Memphis. I’ll make sure to post on our Facebook page (www.facebookcom/AutoAnatomyUS) our route, so hopefully we can meet up with some viewers!
Just found this channel. I lived in Northern California in the late 80s and needed a power steering gearbox for my 62 thunderbird. He provided a rebuilt box and it was just perfect. Glad to put a face to the name. Good luck Nick
Nick's Tbird was in Van Nuys and I use to go to him all the time when I bought my Tbird for $600 and I told him I got cast in a Comedy Central show called American Body Shop and I needed to get it to run well enough to put it on the show. He was so helpful and nice and I was extremely disappointed when he left. Nice to see you again NICK! 66 the best! Didn't know you had a channel, I'll be watching anything 66 Thunderbirds! Nice work Sean, been learning a lot.
The 1964-1966 Thunderbirds were the height of style and class at the time...I owned one of each year back in the day...a `64...a `65 and a `66...the only place where they missed the mark in my opinion was the use of flat side windows...after using curved windows in the `61 thru `63 model years....seemed like a step back...even though the rest of the interiors were ,for the time,cutting edge.
Thanks Sean for taking us on that trip. Seeing that sliding steering column makes me miss my 63 thunderbird.... 😞😞😞. They just don't make beautiful interiors with such style and class as in our old Thunderbirds anymore. These old cars just to to prove that class never goes out of style.....
@@AutoAnatomy that it is indeed! With the Thunderbirds in that era there was just such a sense of pride put into the design and layout of the interior.
Have a conv one there high maintenance same story in storage since 86 never tried to fix have 59 ranchero too.mine both red .be careful they jump out of park to reverse when idling ...🤔
Glad I found your channel, learning a lot from your vids! . I bought my 66 in California to use as a second car. Drove it to C Springs in 1993 when I got stationed at the AF Academy. Loved CO but the T Bird didn’t, the carb was gasping for air. Still have the car.
I have a 428 66 T-BIRD BUT IT HAS not run in 20 years. I did put a battery in it and I have lights and taillights and the horn but nothing else. Only the right vent window moves a bit . If I help it open it will but not on it's own. Filled the motor with deseal fuel last fall to help protect it . Have to drain it soon.
I really appreciate your videos especially the Thunderbird videos I have a 64 Thunderbird convertible in which the headlight switch keeps burning thus I don’t have instrument lights all other lights that the switch controls worksI am watching several videos to try to find out how to fix this problem
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. Make sure to check out Nick at Vintage Thunderbird Repairs channel and he probably has a step-by-step video about the switch.
Awsome vid as always. So a general brake question. I have a 63 Bird that I'm making road worthy for my 2 teen boys. Should I convert it to disc brakes? With a dual circuit brake master? Or are these Bird big drum brakes good enough? I learned how to drive on drum brake cars but have always heard single circuit drum brakes blow. To be hones I have a single circuit all 4 drum brake 66 c10 with an ls 5.3 swap that I drive on weekends that I feel totally safe. What ya'll think? Convert the Bird?
Hello everyone well my name is serjio Chris is my son lol anyway I Just got a 1966 thunderbird Q code and I'm having problems with the transmission not sure on what's going on with it when I put it in gear and press gas I need to Rev it really high and then when I stop reving it thats when the transmission kicks in can anyone help me by telling me what I need to do or guide me on how to fix this problem thanks a bunch by the way great video finally got to see what nick really looks like and his shop awesome guy and very helpful God bless 🙌
I don't want to give out his contact information, but if you want to check out his channel and comment on a video, he should respond pretty quickly. Thanks for checking out the video!

I like the color on the Thelma & Louise car....I like the color on yours as well....
Tanya and I enjoyed watching two oracles talking
I restored my 1963 T-bird hardtop to this extent. Quite some fun.
Thanks for sharing your visit with Nick! I think you and your dad are really going to enjoy the ride together. Great memories.
George in Michigan
Thanks George! I'm working on a way to track us on the way back to TN

Good luck with that car! It's a process getting one of these birds back up and running, but so worth it!
