Wanted AMT 1963 Thunderbird front grill and rear bumper.

[LennyB]

As the title says I need a front and rear grill/bumper for the 63 T-Bird. Got an old custom I want to resurrect.

Afraid I don't have any to spare Lenny but the back bumper from the new tool AMT '62 fits the AMT '61-'63 annuals like it was made for them if that helps. Tail lights are slightly different between the 3 though if that matters.

Front bumper and hood are different enough to not fit without quite a bit of work though unfortunatly. Not to mention the grilles also being different between all 3 years..

Thanks Steve. I was planning to use the chassis from the 62 on this.

I have a '62 -- I believe -- front grille unused but back in '62 I removed the 'chrome' from the bumper upright blades thinking it would be more subtle... good taste in a 16 year old?  Might have the wheel covers, too.  Your's if you want 'em.  Eventually (60 years later) i built my kit into a sorta' Bonneville racer called 'Big BIrd' -- bright yellow, Cat V-16 Diesel, one racing seat, twin-turbos in trunk, etc.  I used the 'Styline' front and rear pans from AMT; wish I had some pics of it!
