ratdoggy Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Just started actually working on this. Had the Flintstone body kicking around and couldn't come up with a theme. Then a Eureka moment. I bought an auction for a '62 Johan Chrysler that did not have the model I wanted but it had a beat up 1962 Tbird promo in the box. So I thought what if Ford made the Tbird in 2043 using some of the basic panels that were amortized years ago. I mean the model T went on for 20+ years, F body GM cars were basically the same from 1970 until 1981 So why not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Much sleeker looking with the changes to the roof and the leading edge of the grill. Different grill and headlights ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T-Bird grill area on this model tends to tuck under with the bottom edge of the grill being further back than the top where it meets the hood. Being a custom, you can do it anyway you want of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Amt '66 T-bird has some fairly well done custom parts for a smoother-than-stock front end you may want to check out. Digging this project already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratdoggy Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Had a sweet idea for the interior. A sport Roadster tonneau cover. Had to narrow it and then lop off the package shelf. I'm thinking it looks pretty good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later- It's actually a Jimmy Flintstone resin body. It came like that. It uses a new gen Camaro windshield and rear window. I'd assume it's a Camaro roof grafted on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
