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!20250425_214000.jpg.5315eed8bf90a4fe77c0ac2ca5fd4cf9.jpg20250425_214007.jpg.842a60ef6d1b2c85872c9e837a21414a.jpg20250425_213952.jpg.2f61263667b44b0baf2283068fca6314.jpg20250425_214019.jpg.c6417073d8386261ec9bf19fbb3f9b09.jpg20250425_214044.jpg.6a58feacf5edfaf193a30f74590280e2.jpg20250425_214207.jpg.052102358cc1bf5627c0d31d9d8b0c5d.jpg20250425_214223.jpg.fc5997f3898bc335c0b7c25efcb201d4.jpg20250425_214238.jpg.56893ac5f504dca24f2d5d6610aa8709.jpg

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.

Looks cool, I've seen a real one at a goodguys car show, there awesome!20230701_074000.jpg.50c2cc55837c54f93caddf155f23039a.jpg20230701_073945.jpg.8c93b8a931b2de3e5a57682d05286181.jpg

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.
