THE BIRD

[3men2s]

I HAD THIS KIT FOR A WILD AND I WANTED TO DO A

PRO MOD OUT OF IT BUT DECIDED TO LEAVE IT ALONE

I MEAN LEAVE IT PRO STOCK. ASPIRATRED INSTEAD OF

TURBOS AND NITROS.

I USED THE ORIGINAL DECALS FOR A SLOT CAR SO

I COULD NOT DO THE 7 11 CHIEF AUTO PART CAR.

BUT I REALLY LIKE THIS CAR AND I WILL TRY TO MAKE MY OWN

DECALS AND WITH THE AIRBRUSH DO THE STRIPING.

HOPE IT FLIES.

MY T BIRD. SO DON'T BE SURPRISE TO READ TRASH TALK BETWEEN US.

[Trans Am Erik]

Hey, good start on the T-Bird, I'll be keeping an eye on it. I saw the 1:1 at Ford World HQ open house. I'll see if I can dig up some pics for you!

[3men2s]

Hey Erick, How's d EXP Funny car, This was going to be the part box for the EXP body

I got from you but a change of plans.

I could really love to see photos of this car, incredibly that in google

I could only get one in colo and is the front view and two in black and white.

I was almost going to trsh this project last week, after I butcher out the doors

it looked terrible, but after sandin it, it look ok. the door frame broke off and i could

not find the piece, so I scratch built the piece. and now I find pieces missing.

the scoop gone, so I built a scratch one......this thing is giving me a run for my pacients.

Decals forget about it...just the motorcraft logo for the door, what a bear...

so I just order a jeff bodine nascar kit just so I can get the motorcraft decal.

it wont be the same but it will look good.

If anyone have spare bob glidden decals that want to sell, don't care if it is not this car.

I have lots of glidden projects.

will post photos tomorow...lots of progres.

[3men2s]

[Dragline]

Let's see some pix man. I think Slixx has this set if I'm not mistaken...

I have the Reher Morrison and Iaconio cars in my closet. I may build them down the road.

Let's see the progress you've made.

i have all the pieces painted, as soon as they dry

they will be ready to be install. the engine cover

will get a blue color instead of the dull gray.

it needs a little contrast. everything is black, silver or white.

What happened to the a-pillars?

[3men2s]

WHat?????

[Pete1980]

Very nice build sir, sure would like to have seen some of the oponents build.

[John Teresi]

Fantastic!!!!.......Awesome job!!!!!......the detail is over the top......really did a great job on this build.

[charlzrocks]

I just love the Glidden car...but, Yours Looks Great!

Edited February 4, 2010 by charlzrocks

[Jeff Sauber]

WHat?????

I think what Casey was refering to was that you left off the inner A pillar structural bracing as well as the inner door bracing, which is why the car looks a little weird with no structural support in those areas.

Even with the doors in the open postition, there would still be an "inner A pillar" surrounding the windsheild area, otherwise there's no material or support bracing to "rivet" or secure the sides of the front "lexan" or "glass".
