Jon Cole Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 That has been reissued? Is it still molded in pink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordRodnKustom Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 That is a good kit. Wonder if the Lincoln will be far behind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGL Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 How much trouble would it be to convert this to stock? I would imagine there's a fox mustang that could be used as a donor right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socal76 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Why bother trying to convert it back to stock when Monogram did a nice 87 Turbo 'bird that was already stock. If you want a non turp, take the engin out of the Revell Cougar XR7 from the same time period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 If I'm not mistaken the Monogram '87 Turbo was 1/24th whereas the M&D Hay T-bird was 1/25th. If the difference in scale doesn't bother, then that'd be the most direct way to build stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 See, I took Mark to mean the MK VII, which I really love; think it's a bit stronger overall in proportion than the T-Bird.If so, I think more of the homework than you might expect has been done - sorta remember stock door panels, IP and steering wheel in that Pro Street. Think the wheelbase may need adjusting to stock, and while similar adjustments might be needed for the running gear from the '90 Mustang LX, this would be a chance to get the better parts of that kit up under something presentable for a body shell. Wheels may be a thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 The Mark VII was shortened to fit the T bird chassis, and the body has to be lengthened in the front section of the rear 1/4 panels. The trunk would also have to be re-contoured once the stretch was made. Tricky mods to be sure. I contemplated doing this long ago for a replica stock MK VII, but never did it. Then, a resin caster (AAM?) did it, and it was a nice looking conversion. OOP for a long time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
