Funny, I could see the photos earlier but now they're showing up as broken "X" icons. Hmm. Well, here's hoping they magically re-appear again! That is weird. Mine is the exact opposite. Couldn't see them before, but I see them now.

Couldn't see them before, but I see them now. ...And to make things even more weird, I was able to see the pics earlier and they still show up. The T-Bird looks really good. I've wanted to build one of these for a long time, maybe this will actually make me buy a kit. I love the color, but agree that there might be some better choice for the grill. But whatever you go with, I'm sure it will look excellent.

I just removed the grille divider and hopefully the symmetry is a little better now too. But still, what would look good in there?

I'm imagining either a tooth grille, like the custom vette-style piece from the '57 3-in-1 kit, or a Matador-style grille made of protruding rods. Maybe even in a staggered pattern...or made out of clear stock like the Ala Kart's grille.

And Plastruct makes multiple sizes, and even some different colors.

I just got it on the shelf a couple of days ago. It'll be there soon in a new thread. Gary

I took these last week prior to polish and final assembly. Hosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiThe interior was already finished in a color that went with my previous choice for the body. I didn't like that body color and was gonna paint it a candy color this time so the gold was only supposed to be an undercoat. it looked perfect for me in the gold so here it is. The grille is a section from an AMT 58 Chevy. click on any picture to see the entire album. Thanks, Gary

Absolutely love this, Gary! Brilliant, tasteful, but radical mods! Very timely, since I've been considering a custom T-bird for a back-burner project!
