Looking good so far. I like the front and rear styling you've done with it and the T-Bird scoop looks great. Somewhat amazed at how relatively clean that body was underneath all that "stuff"!

Way cooler now! I too am amazed at how the original body was intact under all that mud! The Tbird hood scoop is a nice touch. That blue is going to be stunning.

This is a very cool ride. I really like the 'Bird scoop on the hood. Really looks like it belongs there! Gary

The T-Bird scoop on the hood is absolute genius. This is shaping up to be a a really cool model.

After removing all of the putty that the original builder put on the body, I was left with these holes right behind the doors on both sides. I could easily fill them but I thought it would be cool to french in dual stubby antennas instead. I'm sure there are a 100 ways to do this but this is how I did it. The original hole: I had to make the hole just a tad larger and then inserted this styrene tube I had. The tighter the fit, the better I pushed it through the bottom far enough that I could attach sheet styrene to the bottom of it. Then I pushed it back up through and glued it in place. The combination of the snug fit of the styrene tube and CA glue makes for a seamless joint. After sanding and primer, this is the result.

This is great - keeping the original vibe but improving on the appearance and build quality. I can't believe how cleanly that stripped off, especially with all that putty plastered onto it.
