1958 Ford Thunderbird - Billy F. Gibbons´ Mexican Blackbird
Pat Minarick replied to Koellefornia Kid's topic in Model Cars
I like it. -
It's not that bad, really kind of like how you did the body. If you really don't like the paint you could cover the whole thing with black flock, it would look like the real car that they covered in black fur to hide the cracked body work.

Really nice , this helps motivating me to finish mine.

Really like how this looks.
-
Fvefy cool.

That's the plan, just going buy the details I can get from the movie. I was wondering if there was any information on what colors the cars were from the factory? Is the Highland Green a factory color. I would be a cool detail to add two different colors of overspray to the bottom of the car. Looked it up , guess it was a factory color , wonder why they painted the rocker trim.

What Kits Were Molded in Green?
Pat Minarick replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Revell Thames panel and the AMT 68 Shelby Mustang. Don't get the Shelby, that kit is really bad, the 67 kit is really nice. -
Real happy to see this coming out. I have enough junk pieces to put one together, but I will have to buy serveral of these. Been planning on cutting a long bed down to fit a LRE frame. I also want to update one to a 90's body.

Revell Greased Lightning '48 Ford 'Vert
Pat Minarick replied to stavanzer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks , that is a possiblity. -
Thanks ,figured a bunch of these thing out. I think the confusion I'm having is that both cars are not the same. In some scenes there is no mirror, and in the case there's a clear view of the rear of the car it has no cutouts on the valance. I'm just planning on finishing it up with what I've got started. As bad as this body was I wish I had just built in the unrestored look.

I'm going to put the six in a stock body, the four-door is going to have a Hemi? You never know what rearend you will find under a Mopar . I was looking for an A-body 8-3/4 to put under my Volare, found one under a 74 4-door Dart with a slant six.
-
Well it would probably need to be 8- 1/4 rearend, wasn't thinking. Since I'll have a bench seat and flat hood , I could put a slant six in one . But it might look a little silly with a Dana in it.

Working on getting a flat hood to fit . Jimmy Flintstone has the body , he is casting it . I'm sending this hood to him as soon as I'm done with it. I think I'm going to have to make a 7 and a 1/4 rearend too.
-
Finally got the body looking a lot better . Alot of sink marks from this a die-cast . I removed the vent windows and made new thinner ones , about a third the thickness of the kits. I think I have the suspension setting about right. Going to start painting this week.

I was asking the same thing , I think it's a Mercury grill. Was wanting to put one on a woody. -

Is the custom grill a 48 Mercury grill? -
I think the Daytona nose would look good if you cut about 1/2 to 3/4 of the stock front front fender off.
