cobraman Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just finished this old kit . Built one years ago and it did not go well . I just could never get the doors to work . This time I got the doors to work kinda, sorta ! Painted bright white with red interior and used the white interior decals . Box stock with the exception of the mag wheels .

AMT68 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 That's a sharp looking color combination and an excellent build overall. I have the 1974 release of this Monogram kit which was dubbed a "Special Interest Series" I haven't decided on a color combination for mine but after seeing this one I do like the red interior.

espo Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Great looking build. I like the color contrasts, usually these were all one color on the exterior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting ready to install the Kelsey Hayes wires and rebuild the front suspension. I will have to pick up one of those kits. I never knew they came with the hardtop.

slusher Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Beautiful. Thunderbird Ray! I love it, I had two Thunderbirds when I was younger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Bright White is the perfect color for this big bird . Great to see this kit built , excellent work Ray ! This is one of the very first models I ever built back in '65 or '66 , I've always wanted to build it again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Very nice work, clean build. I have tried opening doors with limited success, but mostly non-factory opening doors. Most of the time I glue them shut. I have this kit in my stash, borrowed the bubble top for another custom I have in the works, am thinking of early NASCAR for mine.

cobraman Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Thank you fellows. Ricky, I would like to see a Nascar version done. What did you put your bubble top on ? I was thinking of using mine on a 57 Chevy if it would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 That is sharp looking. And I hate opening doors and trunks also LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gseeds Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Awesome looking bird ! I’ve got one in the works now, should be done shortly, having problems with the doors myself, I’m putting the bubble top on it so I’m thinking the smart thing to do Is close them permanently!! Yours looks beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky 130 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Just saw this Ray. A beautiful car and a great color combo. To think it's not even a Cobra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
