as you can see, it's a model.. and it just shows i can't leave anything stock lmao
where did ya find the model I've been looking for something to put on a shelf?
thanks
good question.. it's been in my closet for months.. i didn't buy it online or anything, i know that much.. maybe you can find it online by search for 'revell basic builder 87 thunderbird turbo coupe model'.. i'm sure you're bound to find someone online selling them
looks good, im looking for one myself might get lucky and find one at hobby lobby this weekend.
something tells me i got it from a local place called bob's hobbies.. i don't remember being in there within the past 3 years though.. lol
i'm just pissed it didn't come with a non-TC header panel to make it a sport with a 5.0 and whatnot.. i hate these TC panels.. which reminds me, i need to post an ad to trade 2 of them lol
They are on ebay all the time
on a side note, i'm headed out the door now to deliver a customer's truck and pick up my real TC's :cool: it's going to be a long day, the snow better stay south!
is it here yet ?
now ?
how bout now ??
nope.. haven't even dropped the truck off yet.. sitting at the gas station, watching the pump go over $50.. these 22 gallon tanks! and of course it's snowing! it'll be midnight by the time i get the 2nd car home >:l at least i have my laptop to keep me busy when i decide to pull off the road for a few to stretch my legs lol
you know i had to go pick up a truck today for my buddy, one of his employee's wrecked a company truck yesterday morning and had to go pick it up this morning. Let's just say driving a 4dr f250 pulling a car trailer with the roads all iced up was fun lol.
try it in a 2wd S15 jimmy on packed snow with a lifted C10 on the trailer.. lol thank god for trailer brakes :D
1 car home, eating dinner and heading back up.. people really need to learn how to effing drive on slippery roads.. some moron in a honda(explains it all) almost side swiped my trailer at an intersection.. i would have literally murdered him, the perty blue TC was on the trailer :D
lol had a ext cab 4wd s10 with a 4.3 and 5spd and i hauled a lifted k5 with it and that was a job in it self lol
2 key words there.. 4wd and 5spd.. the 4x4 S10's suck at towing, the 5spd doesn't help either lol my sonoma could tow some weight but it's an auto and a 98+ 4.3, not the original pre-98 slouch that was in it when it rolled off the lot in 94. whoever had the truck before my mom bought it was smart lol 200k later, the motor is still as strong as the day we got it and i've put it through pure hell to say the least
time to go get number 2.. i'll be lucky if i make it home by 2am lol
traffic wont be as bad
there are still idiots on the road though.. i'm pulled off into a rest stop for now.. i don't think my trailer brakes are working.. LOVELY
oh shiz lol
rolled in at 4:15 this morning.. i DID lose my trailer brakes, the controller took a so it was a slow ride home.. but at least i'm home with $3200 cash and 2 TC's lol
nuff with the chatter you know we need pics !:hick:
i have to wait til my mom gets home.. the camera on my phone is shot and my digital is beyond screwed
cool cool you have to drive back in the snow ?
mostly slush, it stopped snowing mid day yesterday
Cool model!!! I got a boss 429 in my 87 thunderbird model!!! Slicks on the back,and a sweet body kit on it also!!! And I have a 1987 T-coupe model still new in box unopened!!!!!
haven't had a change to get any pictures.. the cars are now moved down to the new shop.. the pretty car is inside of course, project car is outside.. waiting on my new camera to show up so i can take some pics! i have the head sitting on the floor next to me so i can take it to the machine shop tomorrow to get decked.. better safe than sorry since it's already off ;)
head is dropped off as of 9am.. i pick it up around 6 tonight.. then i put her together and her duty as daily driver begins.. the sonoma goes in the shop sunday so i can start the sas and lift.. picked up 37x12.50R16 tsl radials for it last night ;)
Sounds like you're a busy man and it also sounds like you had quite an adventure. I hate snow! It's okay for Christmas but then it can go away for the rest of the year.
Cool model! I have an older one that I might pull out one day and mess with I think it's missing stuff, like lights. But I was able to buy a couple new kits at wal mart a couple of years ago. I think Revel had rereleased them at that time so they're still out there you just gotta find them. I also have the one they made of the pink prostreet 87, I painted it black and grey like mine. I think it turned out pretty cool.
an adventure is putting it lightly.. took me about 13 hours from the time i pulled out of the driveway to the time i walked back in the door.. i'm satisfied though, i now have 2 more toys i don't really need lmao at least the capri won't see any slushy roads, a single snow flake and i have plenty of time to get the injection, interior and body work done.. giving myself a feb 15th deadline on it so i can get some street time on the injection before it goes to the track and gets her certs.. then TC#2 will get started for it's massive makeover.. and somewhere inbetween all of that, my sonoma needs to be put together lmao
lol you got to get pics bro lol
no kidding.. i have 1 of the pics from the ad, but that's about it lol
It looks pretty sweet in that picture, aside from the chrome trim around the fenderwells. Please tell me that's leaving the car....lol
already left, along with the gay bra on the nose.. next is the TC header panel and the snowflakes lol i'm not fond of the side skirts either, but they're not too bad to where i'm going to rip them right off.. down the road i may, if/when the car needs any body work
If you decide to get rid of the ground f/x let me know. I might be interested if the price is right.
it won't be anytime soon.. the car is mint as far as the body goes.. so unless someone keys it, hits it or something to that extent, i'm not gonna mess with the body aside from the header panel.. if they were on the other car, i'd pull em off and you could have em for the price of shipping, but #2 doesn't have em
Alrighty, just don't forget about me when you do pull them.
i probably will lol so if a thread ever pops up where i'm doing body work on it, make sure you remind me hahah
Haha I will! Maybe I should save the part where you said I can have for the cost of shipping. Hehe! Na, but I'll remind you when the time comes.
LOL my mind won't change about the cost of shipping.. i don't like it when things like that sit around
the blue car starts daily duty tonight, as long as she fires up and runs right.. then the capri takes it's spot in the shop so she can get finished when i'm done moving
