I hope everyone had a blessed Easter! So Saturday is wash the truck day and I happen to find a 20 dollar bill under the seat, and it just so happened to be the last day of 40% off model kits at Hobby Lobby! took a ride over hoping they had some new kits because I have almost every one. Nothing actually caught my eye but I had to get something because it’s kind of a long ride over here. I can take or leave the late 50s Ford Thunderbird kids because I think they are kind of hard to customize, until now! So I purchased the AMT 57 T-BIRD kit only because it was a 3 in 1 kit and I can always use extra parts! Loll ! This is what I came up with! Thanks for viewing!

I am finally working on the engine for the 1957 T-bird. It is an Iceman collections twin turbo billet coyote ford engine. It still needs a bunch of detail! Thanks for viewing!

Its going to be stunning.

Thanks! I have to do some frame shaving for it to fit but very minimal. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow night so I’m gonna get the engine fully detailed and mount it in the frame.

This looks really interesting. I have always had a love/hate relationship with T-birds in general.  Could never decide if they were or were not a "chick" car. 😁

I like where this one is going.
