Amazing....although its not surprising. This build hasn't even started and this thread is already on its second page. Maybe we can get it to three.  

[John Teresi]

I hope the minions are all rested up and ready to rock and roll ! : )

[Mooneyzs]

Hey Brother.... its great to see that you finally got all of your stuff to start this build. I know will knock this one out of the park like all of your other builds. I think that you will be done with this one in 2 weeks and onto your next build  . I will be waiting for your next update. I know it will be killer.

[bobthehobbyguy]

Another cool project to follow. What was the source for the bubble top?

[rickcaps55]

Might be better to start with an AMT '65 or the often-reissued '66 T-bird, since most of the identifiable body sections come from a '65 Thunderbird.

 

Hi John you can get the 65 rear bumper and tail lites from Modelhause I just restored a old AMT 65 and they have all the parts.
