There are a bunch of pics from a museum that has a restored 1988 Bill Elliott Tbird (that is where the above pic is from). Here is the link to that site:https://simeonemuseum.org/photos/bill-elliotts-1987-88-ford-thunderbird/. With it being a restoration there are a few items that I noticed were incorrect (wheels and tires come to mind). I built my model based on a victory lane picture from the Firecracker 400 win (below) except I went with gold wheels. I couldn't figure out the deal with the wheels shown in the victory lane photo. Here is one of my completed car... I'm working on all of Bill's cars from 1983 to 2003. This one has been my favorite one so far, Powerslide's decals are excellent.

Great job! I hope mine ends up lookng this good. It's masked and waiting to be painted... I'm so scared. Seriously though, I'm really glad Monogram came out with this body. It has been a fun car to build.

"Awesome" job! That is a very nice, clean build! Thanks for sharing. I just finished this same car as well (still refining my processes). This car is part of my bigger project to build all of Bill Elliott's cars from 1983 (first win square bird WIP) to the last win 2003 Dodge Intrepid. I picked up building these again during COVID shut down. When I started working from home I had no commute to help me unwind so modeling filled the gap nicely. Its amazing the amount of resources we have available now vs when I was building these as a teenager.
