Dave Ambrose Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 That's a really cool car. One of my favorite T-Birds. (It was my first car model). I especially like the exhaust system.
Chuck Most Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 That's why you were looking for the '61 T-Bird kit! I KNEW IT!!!! I'll be watching this one.

Peter Lombardo Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 John, pretty cool looking car....i thought I have seen just about every customized Thunderbird out there, but I have never seen this one before. This should be another first class replica. Looking forward to seeing this through to its completion. Go get'em.
Chuck Most Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 I saw this in Hot Rod Deluxe a while back, and I thought "Somebody (more skilled than me) needs to build a model of it!" John will do it proud!
John Teresi Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 Hello.....I did a little body work today......will do a little more tonight.....thank`s for looking.
John Teresi Posted December 12, 2010 Author Posted December 12, 2010 Hello.....I need to sand and shape a little......then I will work on the fins and bubble top frame......thank`s for looking.
parki Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Its really starting to take shape now. Gona be killer!!
Joe Handley Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Is it me, or does that bubble look more at home on that generation of 'Bird than it does on the SquareBird it comes with
parki Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Is it me, or does that bubble look more at home on that generation of 'Bird than it does on the SquareBird it comes with Nope. Its not just you Joe. Your right, it looks a lot better. Just seems to fit the lines of the later car a lot more.
Chuck Most Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 What Adam said, Joe... it looks way, WAY better on the rocket bird than the squarebird!
John Teresi Posted December 14, 2010 Author Posted December 14, 2010 Hello.....just a little up-date.....I need to finish up the bubble top frame and work on the interior ......almost ready for the fins.....thank`s for looking.
