customsrus Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Here is another past build of mine. This t-bird was built as a retro custom as it might appear years in the future. My idea was for this build was to make a vehicle that could do 200+ mph and still get 50 mpg. So all body panels would be made of a light weight composite, the chassis would also be lightweight. It would have a lexan glass top. As many of you guessd it is a 63 t-bird with a pontiac banshee top grafted to it, doors where shaped like the banshee doors and reversed swing up style. hood was glued in place and new hood opening cut out. headlights are now flip up style. Banshee rear pan grafted to backend of t-bird and also another rear pan was put on the front of the car. Both front fenders and rear quarters were reshaped or extended with sheet plastic. Banshee interior was modified to a two seater. Instrument panel was converted to appears as a digital touch screen. I put a headliner in it with seatbelts attachments and domelights. complete chassis and drive train are taken from the shelby series 1, I had to extend and widen chassis to fit t-bird body. Wheels are aluminum sleeves from Pegasus hobbies. Scratchbuilt drive components and brake systems. I could go on but lets get on to the pictures. Enjoy.

mr moto Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Unfortunately, I don't expect to see that from Detroit in 2017 or any other year but I'm ready if it happens! Very cool look and great work.
Antikainen Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Really nice work! Those rims are so deep that one can´t see all wheel / brake detailing from those pics so I´m asking if you could post a pic shot directly from the side of this model? Really, really nice work and great design elements ( I like especially front end design ) and high quality modelling!
