i havent been able to find one of a thunderbird like mine or any like my truck but i am currently working on a 1929 model A rodster and after it is a 1965 2+2 fastback mustang. the last one finished was a 1949 murcury coup that i did as a rat rod. its nice to see that im not the only childish person here.

Your all ahead of me, I have a couple other t-birds buried in the closet but the plastic isnt even off the boxes. I've been flipping through my old model magazines and started thinking about beginning to build again, dont think i've built a model in 2-3 years now. Used to do it religiously for about 8 years, have a box of trophies and medals somewhere.

Well here is my Turbocoupe model.. this is the closest model I'll ever find, i think to my car.

P.S.. sometimes it pays off to have a brother who's on his way to being a professional photographer

I finished one of the 86 Pro-Street's. Stuck a blower on it and painted a 3-shade Bronze Fade. Then I built a LSC Pro-Street to go with, stuck the Shotgun 429 on the auto and painted it Gunmetal with a Black stripe. I did an original TC in White/Charcoal and a 79 Turbo Stang in Red. Current project is stuffing TC internals and suspension into a 56 Bird.
