Another Thunderbolt - this time the Reynolds Ford car

[gtx6970]

Keeping with my theme right now with all T bolts. Makes it  easy to do as they're all basically the same car with different exterior colors and decals .

Duplicolor white lacquer,  Top End Decals ( aka Jack Smith )  for the decals.  Interior is again,  a mix of Tamiya and Duplicolor paints .  Im currently trying to find a circular Quaker State decal  for the rear sail panel before I clear it . EDIT found one I can live with .

Comments or suggestions more than welcome.

Your builds are awesome.  Brings back memories of watching the 1-1 cars.  Don't forget the 427 badges on the front fenders.  Ron.

Talk about memories. In the early 60's to early 70's I used to spend just about every weekend at E.S.T.A. (Empire State Timing Association). I know I saw that car run there. Thanks.

Thanks, This particular car , the 427 flag was in  the bottom / dogleg of the Ft fender. I have some small decals to place them as close to the original car as I can. The kit has them all in them molded in  front edge of the fender just above the front bumper edge,,,,,But only about half the 1/1 cars has it there .

 

Got a little bit done today on both this one and the Phil Bonner car.

All the BMF work is done, glass is in. Interior tub is in. Sitting on its own 4 wheels . This one should be done in the day or 2

 

Need to decide which wheels on the Al Means/Bonner car , medium gold ( pass side ) or Testors champagne  Gold ( drivers side ) ?

Versus  the restored car
