Same here. Alclad is can look amazing but will only look as good as the black basecoat. If theres is any orange peel or junk under the paint, the finish will be compromised. The alclad black needs to be sprayed at low pressures and at proper temperatures.

While waiting for the omni to cure a lil while longer, mixed a shade of red for the seats and did some essembly on the motor.

Painted, clear-coated. Now to start on other things while it cures...

I would like to know also.

Good photography.

Love everything except the spoiler on the back.

Getting frustrated with the T-bird so decided to polish it out. Need to re-paint one of the fender skirts but will start foiling it anyway.

Decided on a color for my thunderbird. Its a buick color. I bought it to try to build a replica of a regal in my neighborhood years ago. Should look ok with a white roof.

Seeing as though it is a convertible, could you not just chop the windshield frame and replace it? I reckon it would be the same as a Impala frame. It would be a verry easy procedure.

Cragars look great on this model.

It appears that the wildcat was available as a convertible, and a 4 door hardtop as well.

Roof lines up now.

Started this 1962 thunderbird. Switching it to a hardtop. Doesn't quite match at the windshield frame. Will need to add some material to the top of the frame and chop the roof a little. I've read that mating the floorpans and interior is quite difficult. I chopped quite a bit of the inner fenders but I am adding fender skirts so it should not be too obvious. Modified how the floorpans are held in place in the back so I can drop the floorpans in vertically. Looks like much material with need to be removed from the door panels and dashboard too.

Looks good, especially the doorpanels, seats etc. Only flaw is the windscreen molding. Convertibles had a stainless steel or chrome trim surround.

I build it from small pieces of plastic.

Thanks. Modelhaus tires. Not sure what I used to paint the inserts. Whatever red paint I had on hand. Probably createx.

Finished today. Sorry for the dust, and also the lousy back-drop. Thats a project when spring starts.

Awesome!

The finish line is in sight now. Just need to dot the Ps and cross the Qs.

Going to be badass.

Thanks. The seats were original, just modified into a bench seat.

Looks good.

Badass!

I own a Plymouth duster and I know there are subtle differences, but do we need a kit for EVERY model year? Some models were neglected for decades. Take the skylark for example, AMT made a '66 and that was it, until Monogram made a '70 decades later. ONE olds 88, in 1965, then ruined to make a stockcar. Just saying. Why not a '72 or '73 swinger or scamp before another duster?

Alot on my plate lately but decided to update this a little. Had to touchup and re-clearcoat the drivers side. Slowly pecking away at the trim. Interior mostly done. Scratch-built armrests, window cranks etc.
