62 T Bird, Chicago Style Convertible, Tribute to my Youth
« on: October 28, 2017, 02:46:05 PM »
This one is a tribute to the model I built in 1964 and hand lettered. I modified the stock uni-body platform till it was race ready, used the nice kit motor, grabbed a set of groovy wheels and tires from the stash, and made my own decals. Had to change the color to utilize the inkjet, though. Here's what I have so far.
