  1. Salut Francis! Thank you, from a Ford guy to a Mopar guy LOL. I had an 85 Turbo-Coupe Thunderbird, and I LOVED the car. So, it was not a hard sell to get me to tweak this one. You are right about the tires: more like o-rings, really. And to your point about our patchy roads around here: as you know, my summer car is a Miata, and it is the perfect car to "enjoy" the jarring ride provided here in the Great White North. Oh well...

  2. Hi! Great paint. what clear did-you use? It's truly the "wet look". Bravo! CT
  3. Thank you John! That's my faviorite part of the hobby: the freedom to "imagine" things.
  4. Hi Tim! Great to hear from you. As fate would have it, my TC was an 85, in light blue metallic clear-coat! It was a Ford "Field car", that my dear friend Pierre Cliche (a Ford dealer) could get for me as soon as the district rep would receive his next car... A 1987 Merkur XR4Ti... that I also leased 8 months later! Followed by an 88 XR4Ti, and a 1989 Scorpio. I guess you could say I'm a Ford guy, eh? I was partial to the 85 because of the dash update. And once I was sold on the virtues of the 2.3, the Merkur was a joy, even more so because its suspension was, let's say, more "subtle" than the TC. Nostalgia. Happy you liked my Pro-Touring attempt, and I will try it on the contest table april 24th. We'll see how it fares... CT
  5. Hi! A few years ago, I created this "fantasy" 41 Lincoln modern custom, as what Billy Gibbons could drive if he felt for a new car. It's called "Class of 41". Rock on! CT
