I built one as a pro street about twenty years ago. I used the chassis from a Revell Matt Hay '87 T-Bird. What chassis are you using under yours? I'm using a resin tubbed chassis. Wanted to keep the build like a Super Stock.

Starting to build a Ford Thunderbolt big tire car. Want to build it as a current NHRA Super Stock car with 14x32 tires, cage, current engine,etc. 95% of the Thunderbolts I see built are basically 60's versions, so I thought I would do something different. Any photos of builds or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the nice words guys!

Nice work Disconovaman. Yeah, the Boyd's paints are very nice.

Calling this one done.

Good point, I thought about it awhile ago but put it off.Thanks

The braided lines are beading thread and the fuel supply line is aluminum beading wire both from the craft section. Thanks and good luck getting that '70 going.

Getting close to finishing this.

Update: Body painted using Testors Colors by Boyd Chezoom Teal and Testors enamel clear. Interior tub finished, radiator core support and firewall detailed. Currently working on final body detail, should be wrapping this up soon.

I was wondering what you used for textured paint to simulate the vinyl top?

So sad,he was an amazing builder. -
Thanks for the kind words. The wheels are slot car wheels I got from a guy on here named Vince in the trader section.

Updated photos. Got the 700" Big Block together and wired. Installed front/rear suspension and mounted brakes/wheels and tires. Mounted engine and working on hood, interior,etc.

Painting resin what prep should I use?
bykr replied to bykr's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for the info guys -
When painting resin parts are there any special prep steps needed as I'm having an issue with the paint(enamel) not adhering well. On some parts after allowing adequate dry time the paint is easily removed if touched.
-
From what I can gather it's a Nascar intake.
-
Some minor progress on the build. Shaved the Impala emblems , opened up the rear wheelwells and painted the interior tub and chassis-my first attempt with an airbrush! I got the big block from BNL resins with split dominators on a tunnel ram.

Looking

Thanks. The rear wheels are slot car wheels I get from a guy on here, the tires are from www.futurattraction.com and the intake and trans are from the parts box, I believe they're resin.

Mine was straight. It had bracing between the fenders but once removed it's pretty flexy!
-
It's a BNL resins tub section I got off ebay.
-
Thinking about going with a nitrous big block like some of the great drag racing Impala's like Nick Scavo's.

Nice job!
