M W Elky Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I used the amt kit for most of everything, the wheels came from revell’s thunderbolt, the slicks are amt the headers are custom made to fit the chassis. I have lost count of how many times I glued my fingers to the body attaching all the side trim and trim for the vinyl top. I painted it tamyia dark blue which almost looks black which I believe was the original color of the car . The decals are old Billy gooche. This was a complicated build getting the body’s trim right and sanded around. Until next time thanks for looking ?, Mike 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogger44 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I can only imagine the "fun" adding all the side trim must have entailed, but you persevered. That is one tough looking car, well done! In the past I also built one of these as a fictional super stock, and used the headers from a Thunderbolt. Not an easy task at all and almost shelved the whole project as a result lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have the decals to do the silver and black car of Hubert Platt , but I’m so not looking forward to that side trim again . Be tween the wheel well’s is made up of 3 pieces. I’ve built another 66 FAIRLANE and used the headers from the amt 69 Torino they worked ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Chroming a Thunderbolt is equally as fun. By the way folks, Model Cars magazine #222 has two of Michael's builds in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
