Monogram '81 - '87 T-bird kits

[Goodwrench3]

Just starting to build one of these.  I've looked at photos of several builds of these kits.  It looks like they might need a "stance" modification ?   

Unlike the '81 Monogram Buick kit, the photos I've seen of the built T-birds look like they might be "ridin' high" in the front   ?

Most all of the NASCAR kits needed a llittle bit of lowering to make them really look good.

Yup, I've never built one that did not need adjustment.

Thanks.

I've built a couple that I didn't feel really needed to be messed with.  Here is a Buick that I finished recently and a Dick Trickle Pontiac built long ago.  I guess one could lower the Pontiac more if that's you're preference -- I felt it looked pretty good built box stock.

Those look great - it really depends on the type of track and setup at the time.   For example, when we used to go to N Wilkesboro, there was always a lot of camber in the front right - hard to replicate but possible.  And who would know the difference really?  Some tracks had lower setups, some higher.  I didn't always lower mine.  Just built and let it ride, so to speak.
