1977 1978 1979 Thunderbird progress
yellowsportwagon replied to Paul Hettick's topic in WIP: Model Cars
The top of the windshield opening is what I was talking about. Compare the Revell body to a Johan body. The top of the opening is wrong on the Revell. The Johan body is 100% correct. I own one of these bodystyle cars but mines a Mercury Montego GT . The windshield does not look like Revells does -

Paul did you get rid of the flat spot on the top of the windshield opening. It should be round all the way from roof post to roof post like the Johan windshield is. I never understood why Revell screwed that up. Do you plan on casting these? -
I’ve missed this topic before. I have to say I’m a nut for body proportions. Being a boattail Riv is one of my all time favorite cars I never bought one of these on account of the body shape. But you are nailing it. Real nice job I’ll take one for sure.Pay attention to the header panel above the grille it is just plain wrong. If you could fix that would really make this nice.

This is a AMT 66 442 kit. I lowered it and built the under hood bars from scratch. Has PPP wheels and tires. Intake from a 69 Hurst Olds. Carb from an AMT NASCAR kit. Radiator from an old Johan Torino. Homemade radiator hoses. Deacals are from Dave Van! Still need to add rear #s and a couple odds and ends.
