AMT annual '64 Thunderbird resto

[Can-Con]

Finished this up last night.
AMT annual '64 rebuild. Trim and door handles shaved, modified '66 tail light and back bumper with the center section of the light lens replaced with a section from a second lens.
HOK Tangerine pearl paint with light beige interior.
Kit engine block with heads, intake and carbs from the custom Thunderbird engine in the AMT '34 Ford pickup. Underhood sheet metal and various engine bay details from the newer AMT '62 Thunderbird roadster kit.
Wheels are the K/H "Strippers" from the AMT '63 Corvette kit.

Looks great and I actually like that roof line somewhat better than the '66.

That's the standard roof. It was available on the '66 cars but AMT chose to do the upmarket Landau version. It should be very easy to cut the sides of the separate '66 kit roof and add a strip for the drip rail to make this roof.

Looks very nice in this color. Always nice to see a model getting recycled and restored . Thanks for sharing.

Man!  That is a sweet ride!  I love the look of this without any side chrome!  Such a mild custom I could see this easily tooling around LA back in the day.  The chicks would be all around you with this car!  Sweet!

As a big fan of these Birds I know it's hard to improve on what Ford gave us from the factory, but! Wow you did it in spades without going all wild ( chopping, sectioning, not that they are bad) less is more thing. Your details are so crisp and clean. Thanks for posting.

Great looking T-Bird Steve. 

Excellent colour selection, all the mods and kit bash parts all come together to make a very unique custom. Such a cool looking car.

Well done.
