Seeking source for 1/25 decals to do some epic cars from history in 1/25. Someone WAS doing the Proctor T-Bird, but lost the link:

Dick Trickle Torino 

Clem Proctor Thunderbird 

Awww, hell, forgot the third one! Old age is a bugga.  It's not the #33 Pearson GTO either. 

Hints or actual content always welcome!

Hey Bob, I found this one a while ago but never went any further than bookmarking the link.  I’d be interested to know if you have any success in getting them, as I always had it in the back of my mind that I might want to attempt the Proctor car.  Of course that will hinge upon whether I get around to procuring a T-Bird hardtop at some point…

... and insufficient coffee this AM to process.

Planning a hardbody slot car build of this with the Hase body, been years since I have turned styrene to scrap this way.  Would REALLY like to find these, thanks!

Hey Mark, not sure if this will help you... but the Proctor T-Bird was built on the remains of his '58 Ford modified. 

Clem may have taken some **liberties** with the situating of the body on chassis, etc. but the inspectors were complimentary and though he'd done it about right. FWIW a R2 Starliner would be a great start.

The annual kits and promos are common - you might find a junker under a table at a show with a busted window pillar.

Chop off the roof and add it to the new tool '62 - presto!

Great info, Bob!  Thanks!

I’m way behind on my project list, but this one will be penciled in there, only to rise further upon the procurement of the appropriate body/roof!
