    Finally finished the interior. Added a tire inspection door.

    Finally got the decal sheets finished . The sheet with the most stuff on it is a clear sheet. The other one is a white sheet.

    Thanks, Kirk

    Did some more interior work. Scratchbuilt the buckles and belts.
  5. MarkJ
    Some more rollcage pad work. Also working on scratchbuilt seat and shoulder harness buckles. It is very tedious work.

    I owned a 75 beretta v8 with a 4 speed. It would have been way to small to run in nascars bigger series. It was like the size of todays cruze.

    Another awesome one.

    Added padding to the roll bars. Used tubing that would fit over the roll bar tubing. Will fix the voids in the tubing with putty. Flat black should make them look like rubber.

    Thanks, William.

    Thanks Bruce.

    Excellent as always. Glad to see you posting here again. Now if you could just get Clay to post here that would be awesome.

    Great job on the Pontiac, Jon. I believe that is the car Buck Baker drove in place of Jack Smith that took the Southern 500 in 1960. Like you said the Catalina was a little shorter and made a better race car than the Bonneville.

    Primed part of the tub and seat and did some more work fitting the grille to the body.
  14. MarkJ
    Made the snaps on the tonneau cover thinner and began modifications to the grille and headlights to try to make it look more like the real car.

    Thanks, Mike. It's been fun so far.

    Bruce, for both reasons. Also with the wire in place you dont have to heat the bend unless its at an extreme 90 degree angle.

    Some more wips

    Did some more interior work. I find it helpful to put wire inside the 3/32 inch tubing when fabricating the roll cage.

    Awesome job, Bob. The lettering is phenominal.
  20. MarkJ
    Looking awesome. Almost done. Can't wait.

    I think its ready for primer and then the final sanding, I need to add a bolster to the right side of the seat that the drivers used to lean against in the turns.
  22. MarkJ
    Did some sanding on the seat and added some more putty. Will keep shaping and adding putty till the seat some what resembles the refrence picture I found for a 61 Ford Thunderbird.
  23. MarkJ
    I did some more work on the seat and the interior tub.

    I googled 61 Ford police package and found an advertisement for it. I had to save it and blow it up . But it showed in the options bucket seats were available to give more head room.
  25. MarkJ
    Bruce, a guy told me on another forum that the police package for the big ford in 1961 came with thunderbird bucket seats covered in fairlane 500 trim which was the cheapo trim by 1961. I'll bet that explains why they had buckets in the car. If you were Holman and Moody you could probably order any way you wanted to.
