Heres the next project, its the Monogram Bob Glidden Thunderbird. This one will be OOB except for ignition leads, I'm looking forward to building a straight forward kit and so far everything has fitted together very nicely. I had forgotten how good this kit is, I had it when it was first released but back then it was quickly canibalised to tub some pro streeter I was building at the time.

Before Tamiya came on the scene, Monogram models were known as the best available. That's why it goes together so well. Good choice! Looking forward to more progress pics as the model advances.

Had a little trouble with the paint in this one. Had to strip it twice before I got it to this stage. Just a few details to go, then the windows and decals.

Nah, don't get too excited big fella Bob Gliddens Thunderbird Icon_evil , I was reffering to this era of Pro Stock cars in general not just bloody Fords, anyway, you point out to me, what part actually comes from the Ford factory apart from the door handles and maybe the badge it's self.
