FoMoCo66 Posted Saturday at 01:42 PM Posted Saturday at 01:42 PM (edited) This is my spin on one of the baddest factory machines ever built — the 1964 Ford Thunderbolt! It's completely box stock except for the plug wires. I used MCW Wimbledon White for the paint, finished with Rustoleum Enamel Clear. My goal was to make it look like it just rolled out of Dearborn Steel Tubing, with that mighty 427 tucked deep inside. This kit was an absolute blast to build — everything fit together perfectly. Easily one of my favorite builds to date! Here's the WIP: https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/200076-revell-64-tbolt-off-the-show-room-floor/page/2/#comment-3019684 Thanks for looking. Elliot.

Falcon Ranchero Posted Saturday at 04:35 PM Posted Saturday at 04:35 PM Looks good; we got one here in town; not sure if it’s a clone or the real deal, but it looks just like this model. 1

espo Posted Saturday at 05:34 PM Posted Saturday at 05:34 PM Beautiful paint and body trim. Great looking engine and chassis detailing. I agree, these were some of the most impressive racers that Ford built in the day. 1

Bainford Posted Saturday at 07:45 PM Posted Saturday at 07:45 PM Very cool T-Bolt. These look all-business with steelies. You nailed the proper vibe. Nice work. 1
karbuildr Posted Saturday at 09:54 PM Posted Saturday at 09:54 PM Very well done T-bolt. I really like the steelies which kind of give it a sleeper look. Very nice paint and overall details. 1
