I think the T Bolt sold on Mecum, or Barrett Jackson for almost a quarter of a million.

You are welcome. I didn’t know about the car myself until a few months ago.... lol

My build of that car......but the mag is off a bit on the engine, and the red interior might not be correct either. It was hard to find pics of it. I built this one a while back.

He also had a 63 1/2 Galaxie with the converted “Hemi” heads on a 427 Ford. From what I’ve read, the Galaxie was never raced.

Here is a little back ground on the car. https://macsmotorcitygarage.com/mickey-thompsons-427-ford-hemi-v8-and-its-fascinating-secret/

Very nice work. Hard to tell that’s its a model. It looks so real.

Yep, I made a mess of them where they got junk on the parts. I found it easier to chuck em and get new ones.

There are a few ways I hold my parts for painting. I always remove the part from the sprue. I sand the imperfections and parting lines away, and usually use alligator clips secured to wooden skewer sticks. If the part needs touching up from where the clip was holding it, I touch it up with the appropriate colored Sharpie marker. The only draw back to alligator clips are, after painting many parts, they get a build up of paint on them, and need replacing. Another way you could hold parts is by CA (super glue) and accelerator. Let’s say you want to paint an oil pan, and all you have to do is get a scrap piece of sprue, and super glue it to the inside with a drop of accelerator. Then simply snap the old sprue off when the part dries. No need to touch up. Or you can heat a pin, and stick it into the part in an area that won’t be noticed. The more models you build, you’ll find yourself coming up with many time saving ideas.

Not Testor bottles, but storing Tamiya this way works for me.

No problem....I always seem to forget some detail somewhere. I’m currently working on Bonner’s Thunderbolt, and did all the chrome with a Molotov, and no BMF, and it looks fantastic.

Thank you for the kind replies. I appreciate it.

Thanks everyone for the positive replies. It’s was nice to do a Mopar for a change.

Some of my T Bolts I’ve built over the last year or so.

Good luck on the moving. That can be rough. Yea, I’m still waiting for a reply from Jack.,I do have the Revell decals for the Phil Bonner car, except the two rear quarter “THUNDERBOLT “ decals. I was going to see if the extra Brannan decals I have in my stash are close enough to use. I would like to have the correct ones. Just finishing up The Fugitive now. I’m going to post all of my T Bolts later on.
