Change of plans already Bil, I think that’s the norm more then the exception around this place.😄 I like the stance of the mock-up, ready to roll on down the highway.

Bits and bumps aside it’s looking good David

Looks like you mounted some divining rods there are you trying to lead a hippo to water?

Nice story and I can relate. You’ve got me by a few years as I’ve had my 66 convertible since 1981.

Thing about it was you could miss four or five months and you still hadn’t missed anything

Thanks Steve, as to the chassis I'll probably just use the bare carcass, the rest I will re-create. My next T-Bird project will be an updated version of the Alice in Thunderland bird with a scratch built chassis to replace the AMT chassis.

Thanks, got some Nightmist Blue Metallic from MCW to finisher her off. Bill these used to be quite popular when I was growing up, saw them all the time, now it's rare. Had a friend who had a 4-dr in black. He did body work in his parents garage. One weekend he did a color change to white, jams and all. In enamel to boot. Sadly he passed young of cancer. Always wondered if the garage paint jobs were a contributing factor.

Directly sitting in front of the A/C vent will keep you cool but not make you cool.

Competence can be described as the combination of training, skills, experience and knowledge that a person has and their ability to apply them to perform a task safely

Learning or week, can't make up my mind which one to start with.

Out in the barn I have an adding machine you can borrow, I'll go see if I can crank it up.

While I was working on my 1967 Galaxie project I was in need of a stock steering wheel. This brought me to look at other 1967 Ford vehicles in my stash as '67 was a one year steering wheel with an odd cylindrical shaped safety pad on the wheel. My digging brought up another poor soul from the Hershey flea market this T-Bird which had been in a flood at some point. Sad looking chap isn't it. But it has a nice steering wheel😁 This was a promo with a friction chassis the same as the Galaxie was. But this was in much worse shape with broken "A" pillars on both front corners. And now the steering wheel is gone, what the.... And a bite out of the right rear corner. Also has a bite out of the right front corner as well. But out of these ashes I want to see if I can build this. A Boss 429 powered bird. Not sure if I want to keep the shaker scoop. A huge 429 scoop would be more appropriate. WDYT? First order of bushiness was repairing the "A" pillars. With the help of the forum who taught me this trick, I used some Amazing Mold Putty to cast the "A" pillars from another body. Looks rather ugly at this point as if it's being eaten by the blob and his younger brother. New pillars in place and I noticed when I compare the body to the pic above that AMT didn't get it quite right. Maybe it's because the sample above has a vinyl top, which I plan to recreate, but there is more trim present then what AMT molded in. Added some strip styrene to correct that deficiency . The area between the two moldings on the pillar is actually painted body color as well as the leading edge of the roof. Odd, but true. Right rear corner has been mended as well. I'm not totally happy with the repair as I have lost some of the detail in the Thunderbird script in doing the repair from a few coats of primer. I'm looking at a photo-etched emblem to replace this one at this point. From the parts bin I found this Boss 429 that I think came from the Monogram/Revell Mustang kit which is 1/24th. Thinking the bigger size might go well with the big bird. And off of flea-bay I picked up this glue-bomb chassis which hopefully I can resurrect. We shall see. Well, that is all the bits and pieces I have collected thus far. We shall see if it survives to ride another day. See ya!🙂 Comments & criticisms always welcome.

Yes, those adds seem to show up all over the place.

Youth and Paul McCartney collaborated in 1993 to create the Fireman.

Episode 12 of Flash Gordon Conquers The Universe will play right after the newsreel about the ongoing war in the theater this Saturday, hope you have a nickel so you can go.

Now I think you have gone a bit heavy on the mascara.

No photos and they are currently in storage. One day I'll dig them out.
