71 Ford Thunderturd

My wife had a conference meeting in Atlantic city so tagged along with some model kits and supplies. This is the end result. Just a simple promo annual kit that Round 2 released. I made some small changes but it is pretty much box stock. Blower scoop from The Revell 79 camaro. And I drilled some oval port windows in the sail/roof panels. I finished it off with some gold trim on the grill and valve covers for a 70's vibe... Funky bodystyle and weird graphics but it kinda rubs off on ya after awhile.

That's great. I like to see different and a good use of imagination.  Thanks.    Jeff

Thanks for the positive vote guys. How many of these cars have you seen on the road lately? I would guess if Round 2 ever discontinues this kit it will likely never be reissued agian lol! But it does grow on ya. I honestly think had I designed the reissue it would've been with lace panels two toned purple and gold! Dang, now I'll have to build another one! Takes ya back to the 70's... the pimp had one on the corner of Seventh and Vine where Vino's liquor store was!

Cool! Haven't seen too many of those built, especially with the box art! My grandparents had a '71 Galaxie that they had similar windows cut into those enormous C-pillars, they were called "opera" windows then.
