They can be found in the Revelle '80's Monte Carlo SS kit and I'm sure there may be others as well.

Hope your dealer's shop is better about not rounding off the chrome lug nuts than my local dealer. There are those that should not be allowed to operate an Air Wrench without proper training, just saying.

Great looking Road Runner. The Post Coupes were always my favorite body style.

Great looking GTO. The paint looks good, and I like the interior and the engine detailing.

Beautiful looking paint finish and the color shows the body lines well. Great attention to detail and clean assembly. The photography is impressive as well.

Looks great and I like the original build style. As a young man I had owned a couple of these Fords, but no convertibles. A suggestion on the Hood. Seems as if you may have used the filler for the custom version that would eliminate the bump to clear the center of the factory grill causing your hood to not close.

I still do my own tire rotations, but not had any tire issues since I can't remember when. I may have just jinxed myself. We had a jeep that saw a lot of off road use and we had special wheels and tires for that. The OEM wheel and tires weighed about 70 lbs. each the 36" diameter x 9.5" wide tires and wheels were 95 lbs. each. They were fun to change with a floor jack and a cross wrench.

Great looking build. That was such a funny TV series.

Thanks to far better-quality tires today the likelihood of a flat has been dramatically reduced. At this stage in life, I'll gladly call Triple A for any tire problems on the road. There were times in the past when I had a close intimate relationship with jacks and have changed tires in the dead of night in pouring down rain and even snow. I would never replace a tire unless at least two layers of cord was visible. Thankfully fortunes have improved since then.

Don't know if you have Googled your year model Thunderbird yet, but you can find a lot of pictures of these when new, restored, or whatever owners have done with them. This could give you some ideas along with maybe engine colors and such. Also check here on the forum where others have posted how they have handled issues with doing bare metal foil. I would suggest putting foil on the lettering and small trim like that before you even primer the body. I have had good luck doing this on this type of trim and keep as much of the paint off of the trim as possible when you start painting. I have gone as far as using masking tape over the trim until you get to the color coats. You would have to go back over the trim with a fine point Q tip with paint remover to expose the chrome surface between color coats. Before the clear coats make sure your trim is exposed the way you want it and then just clear over it along with the rest of the body. The windshield header chrome trim and any other lightly molded trim can be easier to see if you give the body the lightest possible dusting of primer. This will make the trim easier to see than just the white plastic. Outline your trim with your #11 so you don't lose the trim outline as you build up your paint. You can also put some narrow masking tape on the body outlining the trim before you're foiling, and this makes it much cleaner removing the excess foil. Hope some of this helps.

Great looking interior detailing.

Great looking kit parts. I'm thinking any T-Bird with the 3x2 setup may very well have had a chrome engine dress up kit anyway.

If you think it would fit the wheel well, get and old wheel and tire from a wrecking yard instead.

Sometimes if a battery is on the edge running all the way down will cause it to fail. With modern cars and all the electrical this and that it's hard to get more than four or five years on an OEM battery. That sais I got almost nine years on the OEM battery in our '10 Dodge Charger. Man, they are expensive.

Beautiful looking paint work and the flares and wheels look great.

Like the overall look. I saw a newer Cadillac this weekend done in this same fashion with Voge tires on chrome spokes.

Like the paint finish and the unusual carburetor set up on the blower.

Great looking color and finish, lots of sparkle in the paint. The engine detailing and the interior look well done as well.

Thank you for sharing all the great photos. The thing I like the best about shows like this is the wide verity of vehicles on display.

Lot of good suggestions, but I think one thing to remember is to use a good quality white primer before the final white color coat. Using the same brand of paints from the object you're painting all the way to the final clear coat. This will minimize any possible reaction between any of the paint applications.

Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Like the stance and the wheels & tires.

I agree with the others on this kit. Even if you just use what's in the box you will have a great looking build, but with a little parts swapping with other kits there is no limit to what you can build out of this.

Pretty shade of blue, and the wood graining looks good.

I would just plan on adding some more Vodka before drinking just in case.

I think it all depends on which pharmaceutical company is offering the biggest kick back to the doctors who prescribe the meds.
