Scalper Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hello.. My first WIP for 2014 , I am going to build this kit. It wont be like the one on the box.

DirtModeler Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Looking forward to whatever you decide. I love the 84' T-Bird Pro Stock Body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyglu Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I really like the box art on these Monogram's...I would buy them just for that alone. I was born in '84 and a drag racer so this is a no brainer for me. I think it would be really cool with a snazzy paintjob to look like a nice weekend bracket racer. I would probably update the hood scoop and lose the passenger seat for a more modern look. As for color......bright and wild always work's on racecar's, normally I am subtle ,but racecar's give you a chance to be a bit more crazy and look the part. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonekrosha Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I built two of these years back one as a Georgia Highway Patrol Race Car and one in my Sheriff's Office decals. They are still in boxes since our move to TN 7 years ago I always liked those pro-stock kits. Please keep up the pics, looking great so far !
