In 1982 the Super Ford show was in Dearborn MI.  There was a couple of Thunderbolts there.  I was drooling while checking them out.

Your model is looking great. Forgot to say that in the above post.

Thanks! Means a lot. 😁

I remember an ad, back in the day, on Speed Channel, that had one of these cars doing a bit of a drift around a corner, and the throat that car had was amazing.  You’re doing an amazing job on your version!

Nice.
I'm still waiting for someone to do a decal for the fabric portions of the back seat because it's so hard to get it right otherwise as the pattern is quite complicated...I even contacted Keith Marks on it and he did some tests but nothing after that, and no other decal printers has done it as far as I know...so I'm still waiting to do all my Thunderbolt's as I have several of them.

Yeah, the rear seats are tricky but I was happy with my black wash technique. I also saw this video that looked like it had a good result.
