I'm not big on FORDS but on your's it sure catches my attention man that thing is WOW and an excellent build

[bobcrozier]

Lovely T-bolt - excellent foiling particularly that side spear and doing that infill - excellent stuff.

Nice attention to detail - aliminium front bumper, steelie rears and mag fronts - just perfect.

Looks great Dave! You did a great job building that T-Bolt and it;s not one you see built very often. The clean wormanship really shines through on that car, that's for sure!!! More inspiration for me to get back to work on my Tasca T-Bolt...

[MikeMc]

Great build!!!!! aren't these T Bolts scary without a cage?????

[Krazy Rick]

Thanks for Showing This Dave, Great Job !!!!

[curt raitz]

Great job...

I plan on building the same car, got the decals, etc.

just one question, what paint and color did you use?

again...nice lookin' model

[Harry P.]

Very nice... good attention to detail, like the "aluminum" front bumper.

I'd suggest that you add the tow bar brackets in front, though. A simple add-on, and they're very apparent on the real car:

One of my favorite cars of all time

Good point Harry. Many of these cars had tow bars fitted. I've built a few ss/s & A/FXers and still managed to forget some of em. I use the shutters from old 3.5" floppy drives as a cheap good source of thin aluminium sheet. Everybody must have a few old floppies hanging around!

Just as a seperate point - not heard of B/NSS before, what class was that?

Great job on the t-bolt. I did a Russ Davis version recently; one of the most fun builds I have done.

You get an A+.

I believe the B/NSS is Nostalgia Super Street....but I can' remember the sanctioning body NHRA, NMRA, NMCA ?????

Very very nice. Well done example of "one of the Kings" of factory race cars
