thats what I asked you. do they and where from. I am talking to a guy that made his own kit. as far as I no there is not any stencil kits on the market, to paint on your bird kit.

Oh, I guess I worded that confusing, I have no idea if they do.  If you find one, or find someone who makes them you should let me know, Id love to have that bird on a red car.

looks like me and you are at about the same place in progress it just took me 4 years cause I got my car when I was 12 and didnt know what I was doing. Bad thing is for right now I am putting a 305 or 327 SBC in it just to get it moving cause I have my fenders and the whole front end ready to put back on been off for a year, going back to the motor its just temporary til I get my 400 block built into a 461 Stroker like I want.

I have pics just need to upload and will post them tomorrow, Sadly for right now I am putting a 305 HO SBC or a 327 SBC in it just til I get my 400 Pontiac put together the way I want, making a pump gas stroker motor out of it.

if your doing a stroker, use a older block 1975 and older there a better built block and can hold a lot of HP.

Thanks Bub. I hope to have the body on stands by monday and the roof cut off and the paint stripped next week. I hope.

When I got the car it had the 481988 block I think is the casting number the orginial motor was blown up a long time ago.
