randman Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 This looks fantastic. I have yet to build one of the 87/88 T-Birds. Any tips on improving the body fitment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips on improving the body fitment? Build the rollcage before paint, tape it the the chassis and test fit it. I hacked out most of the top of the cage. Found it unneccessary. Seems as though it's the wheel well/ crush panel area on the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrobarry Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I`ve never been a fan of the more modern style of Nascar racers BUT, this is outstanding! Would like to see a side shot showing stance but I`d bet it`s spot on! Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toast Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Great job on this kit. I bet it feels good to go through some terrible fitting parts and come out the other side with a great looking build. And those gold decals! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I still followed NASCAR back then and Davey and Robert Yates were my favorites and this was easily one of the best looking cars on the track every week . Yours is the very best build of tis race car I've ever seen ! Congrats on a job very well done ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
