It is looking good! Great improvements. I have several of these but have yet to finish.
Now, just some info if anyone wants a more accurate build.
1) The 56 Ford Victoria has the correct frame/suspension just needs the X member and shortened. The AMT 56 Thunderbird is correct also.
2) The front fenders extend behind the bumper, some trimming on the bumper and extending the fenders help it out.
3) you can cut out the grill and surround and use a 56 Thunderbird grill. Grill is the same 55-57, just bumper differences.
4. Personally I am still trying to figure a tail light fix. The bezel and tail light from a 57 Fairlane is the same on 1:1 cars, The Thunderbird kit lights are undersized.
As an FYI, your air cleaner is backwards.
