mrmike Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 This is my '62 T-Bird Roadster painted with Testors White Lightning One Coat Lacquer with a Model Master Insignia Red interior. I lowered the suspension and trimmed the whitewalls on the tires. The engine is wired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmann68 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Very nice! The tires and wheels look great and the stance of the car is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Nice! I'm glad you lowered it, that makes it look so much better. Usually everyone builds this with the stance as supplied by AMT which is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually everyone builds this with the stance as supplied by AMT which is ridiculous. I agree, you have done a great job on this sweet bird. That foiling job...fantastic! I am going to try doing foiling again on my new project, a 53 ford pick-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Thank you everyone! I have heard and read of others having a bear of a time getting the chassis/interior into the body. I looked it over real good before inserting the chassis/interior into the body and found that if the interior is not properly installed, the body will not fit over the interior side panels. Careful assembly and a couple of business cards and everything went into each other like it should. Foiling wasn't that bad either. I spent just over an hour foiling the body and I was done! The lowered suspension is a must for this kit and it was easy to accomplish by inverting the front spindles and re-arching the rear springs.
