A thumbs up on an old pro street car(Matt,& Debbie Hayes,T Bird)

[Jeepxj]

Yea,basically it's a great kit.I just bought one.I couldn't believe all the great drag parts,that came in this kit,to either build a cool Pro Stock car,or a sick Pro street car..Turbos,lots of chrome parts.Great chassis/tubs.Great roll cage.I used to love building this kit when it first came out.Very good job Revell..?

Thanks.

That has been reissued? Is it still molded in pink?

[Lagib]

Molded in white this time.

That is a good kit. Wonder if the Lincoln will be far behind?

[Sledsel]

Both are really sharp...

How much trouble would it be to convert this to stock? I would imagine there's a fox mustang that could be used as a donor right?

[socal76]

Why bother trying to convert it back to stock when Monogram did a nice 87 Turbo 'bird that was already stock. If you want a non turp, take the engin out of the Revell Cougar XR7 from the same time period.

If I'm not mistaken the Monogram '87 Turbo was 1/24th whereas the M&D Hay T-bird was 1/25th.  If the difference in scale doesn't bother, then that'd be the most direct way to build stock.

See, I took Mark to mean the MK VII, which I really love; think it's a bit stronger overall in proportion than the T-Bird.

If so, I think more of the homework than you might expect has been done - sorta remember stock door panels, IP and steering wheel in that Pro Street.  Think the wheelbase may need adjusting to stock, and while similar adjustments might be needed for the running gear from the '90 Mustang LX, this would be a chance to get the better parts of that kit up under something presentable for a body shell.  Wheels may be a thing...

I was just wondering that myself.

The Mark VII was shortened to fit the T bird chassis, and the body has to be lengthened in the front section of the rear 1/4 panels. The trunk would also have to be re-contoured once the stretch was made. Tricky mods to be sure. I contemplated doing this long ago for a replica stock MK VII, but never did it. Then, a resin caster (AAM?) did it, and it was a nice looking conversion. OOP for a long time now.
