Hi all, the COA for this diecast car reads as:Revell John Andretti Circuit City sponsored Thunderbird.But after stripping and repainting it, I once again used Racescale's Mark Martin Kosei Japan decals to complete what You see here. Thanks for looking and, I Hope, You like it. Roy

Thanks Guys! for all the positive comments. Racescale makes great decals, so that's a big help in getting great results. If You all liked this Thunderbird, I hope You like the next one as well. Roy

Thanks Guys, for all the positive comments. Jeremy that would be a great idea but, I don't know the first thing about resin casting. Roy

I know the color is not accurate to the 1:1 car, I thought it would look better if it were closer to the color of the product on the shelf. Thanks for looking. Roy

Thanks Guys, I'll need to make new side vent windows for it, but that shouldn't be too bad. The Februrary 2012 model magazine article I saw this outlined in suggested to cut the roofs behind the windshield trim. The thought of gluing a seam that long, didn't appeal to me so I cut at the A pillars. And I did buy a resin '67 Mustang coupe body, in case I had a bad day.

Wow, I didn't pick up on that, old age has not been kind to me. Roy

Christopher, missing link resin makes a conversion for that. Check EBay for seller: member3664890 Roy

Carl, the paint is Duplicolor touch-up, Royal Blue Metallic from the local Auto Zone. For decals, I've got the Racescale sheet that allows for building either the 1988 or 1989 "Stroh Light" or "Strohs Light" versions. Earlier yesterday I spent time wet sanding and buffing out the paint.

I bought this Action Jeff Gordon Autolite "1989" Thunderbird diecast a while back with the intention of turning it into a 1988 Bill Elliott Championship car. The paint didn't turn out so good, so I decided to make a Mark Martin 1988 Stroh Light 'Tbird instead. This where I'm at with it so far.

Here is the result of the body work to transform the '67 fastback to coupe, for my Jerry Titus Trans Am car.

..anyone want to buy a 1967 Mustang resin coupe body???

Finally got around to finishing the body work on my '67 Mustang, and I'll admit, I had purchased a resin body...just in case.

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these too!! It was also my first "new" car..mine was 2 years old with 4,200 miles one it. I traded it 3 years later on a brand new '84 GT hatchback. And I always regretted that, so I bought another in 1987 with 32,000 miles. that now has 53,000 miles. Ray, I also owned a 1978 King Cobra, but with T-Tops.

Wow! I have seen those folders before and totally forgot they existed.

So Jeff, how's this build going so far?

Scalemodelingbychris used to sell a resin Pinto pro stock kit, and a pro stock Mustang II as well.

Well Thank You Ken, I'm just a few bits away from finishing...Oh sooo close!! Then I started a new Shelby Tribute project. It's gonna be the '67 Trans Am coupe driven by Jerry Titus for the Shelby "Terlingua Team"

Great Looking build!! Who doesn't love the Stooges!! NYUK NYUK NYUK!!!

It has been a while (see page 14) since I posted here Rob, I started with an AMT '67 Mustang fastback kit. Everything seems to be going alright, only bad thing so far is the side vent windows didn't survive the filing and grinding process to get the parts to mate.

There is some Great work being done by everyone here. Well, It's nearing the end of June, so I guess I should get my...self in gear and get started. My build is inspired by a February 2012 article I saw in a model magazine. I don't know what kind of green paint was that was used on the '66 AMT Mustang that I bought to use for parts was, but I couldn't strip it off no matter what I tried!!

Looking Good Johnny, I owned a '99 Taurus that color too!! it's a very sharp color. I bought some Krylon burgundy paint that looks just like what You're using, for a 1984 anniversary edtion Im building too!!

Hi Jeff, no worries, PM me Your address and I'll try to get it out to You on Monday.

That's Cool Jeff, do You need the glass as well?

Hmm well, since You asked..I have looked for without success. Either a '70 Charger R/T body or '69 Charger 500 body. And come to think of it, I might even have an unpainted body as well.

That is a good fit! Better yet, why not add all the corvette chassis to it?? That would make some sleeper.
