unclescott58 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Man, I use to think '58 Fords were ugly. Time has healed that. and looking at John's '58 Fairlane above, and others, makes me really wish someone would issue, or reissue a '58 Ford kit. Heck, I'd be happy with the old AMT curbside kit if they reissued it today (or any of AMT's and SMP's annuals for that matter).

landman Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 After looking at Tùlio's, I figured I wouldn't post mine. But... you need a couple of glue bombs to balance things. So here's the other end of the spectrum, freshly out of long term storage. The '59 is a Skyliner with the complete top mechanism which I didn't get quite right. Are the instructions for these still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Chris you know that rear suspension from a '58 Thinderbird will not be correct for a '61 Ford wagon? '58 T-bird used coils in the back. '61 Fords, including T-birds, used leafs. By the way, '58 was the only year T-bird was setup with coils in the rear, on the unibody birds. Ford was planning on offering an air suspension setup on both the Thunderbird and Edsel. It did not happen. So Ford switched the T-bird back to leaf spring for '59.

ChrisBcritter Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Oh yeah, should have clarified that - front suspension and rear axle with leaf springs added. Not perfect but it is 1/24 with a wide enough track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
