71 thunderbird

[michelle]

this started off of as a parts kit  it was missing the engine and tires and the hood and engine pan was already glued  in place i did not have  a ford engine that would work for this car   so i left the hood and engine pan glued in place  
i added some side pipes from my parts box and then glued in the custom headlight covers  i found some tires that would fit the rims  in my tire box 
i painted the body testors extreme lacquer deja-blue  
the interior is a two tone i hand  painted the areas that were supose to look lke vinyl  metallic sapphire  and the rest i hand painted white                                                                                 
i also put some black flame decals along the sides of the car

Very tastefully done. A lot of sparkle to that paint for sure. I always like your dash detailing. Good job.

Nicely done Michelle.

Great job bringing this one back to life! New kits are great but there is something especially satisfying about restoring one that has seen better days.
