Hi! Full disclosure: I had a 1/1 85 Turbo-Coupe TBird back then , and I loved the car. Nostalgia got me to take a Monogram Iaconnio TBird pro-stock, and adapt it to street duty. I wondered what the SVO division might have done if asked to create a car for the show circuit. So... Monogram's racing bird kit, witn a road-worthy interior and large diameter Maisto rolling stock (narrowed in the front), and the hood and headlight lenses (modified) pirated from the 87 Turbo-coupe. + some parts-bin pieces (seats, roll-bar, etc. Scratchbuilt dash, door panels & console, hood hinges, injection system, etc. . Tamya's titanium silver. Revell's spray chrome on various parts. Hours of fun with styrene! CT

Question about sales at shows after stock market downturn.
Claude Thibodeau replied to iBorg's topic in Contests and Shows
Hi! I agree with Muncie. plus, if the past is any indication, economic downturns usually show that most people cut on big ticket items, but continue to allow themselves "small pleasures". I suspect buyin a kit or two falls into the latter... Good luck and enjoy yourself. CT -
Hi Bob! Wow, I have two copies of this kit in my stash, and I can tell you made a world class assembly here. Bravo! CT

Hi Tim! The shave and clean-up look great. The beveled trunk of the first two years of this bodystyle is really the nicest looking. Bravo! CT
