it'd be interesting for someone to measure the width of a real one to see which is actually closer.
One of my uncles has a longbed '86[ish] I've been thinking about buying from him and I'd measure it but it's 35 miles away and I don't get down that way much.
Rob, do you have one of the oft reissued Monogram /Revell 1/24 square bodies to compare the overall width of the bodies to?
I have a hunch that's closer to their 1/24 kits then that AMT kit.
I'll also be keeping an eye on your progress.
These are my favorite generation T-bird, I've built two so far but don't have a '67. It's my favorite of the 3 grills though.
I think I'll find a different chassis next time though. I find those ones, especially when they've been glue-bombed to be more trouble then they're worth.
Got the frame pretty well ready for paint.
Smoothed it out pretty good, made a tubular tranny crossmember and relived some area on the inside of the frame for header clearance.
Also did a mold and cast a 4L-60 transmission copied from the Revell '99 Chevy pickup kit.
Yea. full crotch shot photo [probably photoshop] mixed in with ads for models up for bid on the site.
I did inform the mod on the site here at the moment though.
I know how touchy they are here about even mild expletives so I'm thinking they might want to know about it.
I know that MCM isn't responsible for the ads but this is kinda out there seeing as they don't even allow mild expletives.
I doubt her gynecologist even gets that view.
Could you make it fit by sliding the engine back a bit?
Of course you would need to notch the firewall more too but I think it would be worth it.
Don't compromise your vision.👍
My wife is a big fan and has read all the books except the last one, which she has bought a couple weeks ago. Loves the serise.
The movies, on the other hand ,,, well lets just say she was "less then impressed" with the casting of Tom Cruise.
