Started with the AMT '57 T'Bird and the Momongram '99 SVT Mustang. The idea was to use all off the SVT running gear and interior in the T'Bird body. Then decided to do a full custom attack on the the T'Bird.... This is what happened!!

Your 57 T'Bird turned out really nice.  That color really pops and it has the perfect stance.  Nice build.

Beautiful looking body work and the interior and color all flow together. Do you have two different hoods for this build?

Thanks for the kind comments.

Hey David

The hood is the original kit hood. The molding is so thick that I was able to file of the scoop off without going right through!!

What was interesting with this build was how well the Mustang bits fitted into the Thunderbird.

Very nice T-Bird with cool mods and a great paint scheme! It reminds me a bit of my '56 Bird I built a couple of years ago... 

Are these Aoshima wheels? They look really great sitting deep under the body!

Great build, body work and paint look fantastic. This is what Ford should have done when they introduced the retro T-Bird back in the early 2000's

Hi Oliver 

They are Aoshima wheels.  Very frustrating things. Beautiful on the outside and crude as, on the inside, which lets down any detailing on the underside.

Thanks again for the comment's gents.
