Bugace Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I just tried the main parts together, and they are almost snap. Typical promolike, with a bit shallow interior, and onepiece chassis. Delicate casting, with just a couple of small airbubble on the lower edges(sills). Very nice chromeparts.
charlie8575 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I didn't realize he was making these....another kit to put on the "acquire" list. Charlie Larkin
cobraman Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Looks nice. You building it as a replica stock ? Color ?
SSNJim Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Nice looking car. The 67-69 T-Birds are my favorites (weird, I know), and I was looking at this one. I've been wanting a Fordor for a while, and have been considering kitbashing one using AMT's Allison Thunderland kit, which has a pretty decent 69 Tudor coupe body in it (except it doesn't have the T-Bird logo on on the C pillar, nor the red plastic taillights). Looking forward to seeing this one built.
Bugace Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 Looks nice. You building it as a replica stock ? Color ? Mild custom. But have yet to choose color, and wheels. As I have a old donorcar, I will probably buy a one more body, doing a detailed one as well. I will also see how the '71 front, and rear, fits on this body.
Guest Johnny Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Ford had a really nice dark blue metallic that year on the Birds!
Eshaver Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Johnny, it was known as Presidential Blue . I was in the business then. Painted my 60 Biscayne that color . . Looked so expensive , I sold the car an bought a Corvair ! Ed Shaver
TooOld Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Wow ! I didn't know Modelhaus was making these ! It looks really decent . Another one added to my list .
Bugace Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 http://paintref.com/...ar=1967&rows=50 If going Stock, I think Candy Apple Red wil be the one.
Ron Hamilton Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Mild custom. But have yet to choose color, and wheels. As I have a old donorcar, I will probably buy a one more body, doing a detailed one as well. I will also see how the '71 front, and rear, fits on this body. The '71 front clip will fit on this one like it was made for it. I cut the back half off of a derelict '67 to do this.
Rob Hall Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Hmmm I didn't know Moebius was doing resin kits, any pictures of the Moebius box it came in ? ???? This is a Modelhaus kit.
Rob Hall Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I think someone is confused !!! or been ripped off LOL... and I don't think in this economy no one is going to spend a ton of money for tooling on a "4 door T-Bird" LOL...besides this is somebody's resin casting from a promo body. What are you going on about? There never was a promo made of a '67 4dr T-Bird. AMT made 2dr kits and promos back in the '60s. This is a Modelhaus resin kit.
Edsel-Dan Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I Like this. Wish I could afford one. I did a 70 4dr the Hard way The owner of a real one bought an unbuilt Motorcity Stocker series kit & I had to measure his car to carve the door lines. I did not raise the rear roof line, or replace the front buckets/console with a Bench, but he liked it a lot I wish I had pic's of it!! I Love this era T-Bird!!
Bugace Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 That is one nice T-Bird Ron. Think I just have to to do a fourdoor '71 as well.
