This is my '87 Boss 429 Thunderbird. No paint, just polished plastic. Replaced the inline four cylinder turbocharged engine with a wired Boss 429 big block engine.

You squeezed that monster in quite nicely, Mike. The poiished plastic finish looks beautiful.

Thank you my friends! I am rather happy with the results of this rebuild. What made me even happier is the fitment of the Boss 429 engine.

Beautiful build! I guess this would qualify as a 'sleeper' but the subsonic rumble of that 429 would be a huge giveaway. Excellent job!
