    I love the 67/68T birds, very unique shape, not so keen on 69 onwards. I have a mint 67 annual kit of this one and a rebuilder in the pile to do. Really like the blue as well, and great job restoring it as the suspension is very delicate on these, it's very broken on my rebuilder. great stuff Raoul

    Beautiful vintage kit rebuild. Im not too crazy about that generation of T Birds too, but its the styling that attracts me to. I had one of these models back in the day but is long gone, I'd like to have another one in my collection. I think it was a 69 version but the basic body shell is the same from 67 to 69. You have a beautiful build there😎👍

    Great model. Not an easy build. But getting a built one apart, well I would need an anesthesia drip. IMO, The suspension and wheel placement is difficult for this vintage of Thunderbird kit. The paint is perfect, also the way you added the proper chrome trim to the interior is awesome and accurate for the 67. You obviously did your research.

    Colour really suits it. Nice save. I remember a resin caster who was offering a four-door version getting really angry at me a few years back when I innocently asked if he was going to stretch the body since as I understand it the four-doors were on a wheelbase a few inches longer. He said it wouldn’t show, I disagreed 🙂

  • @TheMuscleCarModeler

    Thanks! The 4dr is 3 inches longer and 100lb heavier. That 3 inches would show in scale, but if I were casting it. I wouldn't stretch it either. As a caster once you do that then the interior would not fit or the chassis. The glass may not fit as well. Maybe you could separate the glass to spread it apart. You would have to do a new tub anyways because of the door panels but now you are making it longer and once that is done. The chassis needs to be longer. Adding more work to the kit and parts making the kit more expensive. Most modelers would not notice or care. Most would probably complain that the exhaust and driveshaft no longer fit.

Frankly if you’re not going to do it right don’t bother. Build your kits however you like but if you’re going to sell a product to other modellers make it a decent and accurate one.

    Great job on sanding and respray. Looks like someone painted it with auto touch up spray and with no primer or one not intended for plastic. I have had good results with Rustoleum primer designed for plastic furniture. Just use a lot of very thin coats and sand well before the color coat.

    nice build! I almost ended up with the 1:1..... I bought my 72 Roadrunner in 2007 from a friend Kenny in Scotland.... I was not after a 72 Roadrunner but i was amazed he was struggling to sell it and it was a grear price! i was cheeky and offered 1k below the asking price..... Kenny also owned a 68 T Bird 429...having accepted my offer for the 72 Roadrunner he offered me the 68 T-Bird for 1k! ...so 2 cars for his original aksing price on the 72 RR. ..... it was a good running T-Bird and road legal! ..... i was tempted! ..... it was ugly though! done as a rat rod.... needed an interiour and the body brush painted Matt Black...and the chrome parts painted Red!...looked like a terrible bat mobile..... that car never sold! he ended up putting the 429 in a Mustang and broke up the T-Bird.... a shame thinking about it now.
