'57 Ford Thunderbird Mild Custom
1957 Thunderbird Mild Custom
Built for the first annual TRaK Autorama contest, entries for which closed on December 31st. It's a curbside because I had stolen the top side of the kit motor for an earlier build. Which was fortunate because I put the model together in less than 3 weeks as my third and final entry of the 4 classes available. Eliminating the chassis and drive train gave me the time to focus on the paint and accessory details, which has always been what these early 960's mild customs are all about. Below are the details.
Thanx for lookin',
