OldTrucker Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Waiting for good weather to paint the Deora and a 69 Dart I have 90% done so started on a 1966 Thunderbird kit I got a long time ago from someone on a site. It is a 1987 kit that had been reshrink wrapped. I just opened it today and it is complete including all this retro stuff. The putty is even softening up under the lamp! Plan to build it stock. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Nunes Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Hope you have fun with this model kit. Brings back memories of my building a '66 T-Bird when I was a teenager. Baby Blue and a White/Baby Blue combination on the interior. Will be watching from the sidelines. ? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I have one of these kits that I picked up somewhere. It was opened, but I think it’s complete. I’m interested to see what you do with it.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customline Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Yup. I got one off of ebay a couple months ago, missing the tail light lens. You have my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcoat Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 This is one from my "Cars From My Life" list as my mother had a rather hopped up '66 in the mid '70s so I will be joining the list of followers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTrucker Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 More coming soon! Finally got the bad paint off, the hard way as nothing seemed to touch it, even a two month long soak in the purple pond nor easy off! Ended up with a lot of careful sanding and brake fluid.

OldTrucker Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Probably last WIP post on this one. It is going together. Just worked on the taillights. Used old foil out of a cigarette box . Been using that same piece for around 30 years and still have a lot left. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kah puts Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Looks great, the recessed area around the lens would look nice with a little black wash ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
