This is a four day quick box stock build. Body work and paint on Thursday/Friday and rubbing out the body, foiling, and building on Saturday/Sunday. Everything is from the box except for the hood scoop decal which came from the Jaguar XK-E that I had recently finished (a complete coincidence).  the paint is Tamiya Coral Blue inside and out with white seat inserts and hardtop. No mirrors, no turn signal indicator lever, no wiring. Now its on to the next project! Thanks for looking! ?

Great looking '50's color and finish. Like the interior. The kits provided hardtop is a '55 issue T-Bird roof with no side portholes. When these were new the 1on1 owners sometimes sought out a '55 roof not wanting the portholes since they didn't really offer much in the way of additional sight lines.

Non porthole hardtops were available all three years.
