sak Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Started this 1962 thunderbird. Switching it to a hardtop. Doesn't quite match at the windshield frame. Will need to add some material to the top of the frame and chop the roof a little. I've read that mating the floorpans and interior is quite difficult. I chopped quite a bit of the inner fenders but I am adding fender skirts so it should not be too obvious. Modified how the floorpans are held in place in the back so I can drop the floorpans in vertically. Looks like much material with need to be removed from the door panels and dashboard too. 3
JollySipper Posted April 21 Posted April 21 That looks good! The '62 is an excellent kit, this will be a cool build.........
sak Posted May 12 Author Posted May 12 Decided on a color for my thunderbird. Its a buick color. I bought it to try to build a replica of a regal in my neighborhood years ago. Should look ok with a white roof. 6

sak Posted August 25 Author Posted August 25 While waiting for the omni to cure a lil while longer, mixed a shade of red for the seats and did some essembly on the motor. 6
FoMoCo66 Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Nice work on this! I recently bought an amt 63 tbird annual and hope to do this chassis swap on it. I would also help because the windshield frame is gone. 2
