 This is an original AMT kit from 1962. I bought it as a built-up model on eBay. |
 It was in pretty decent shape, but needed full restoration. |
Here it is disassembled. The original hood had a big chunk missing on the left rear corner so I
got a resin replacement from the Modelhaus.
|
An overnight soak in Castrol Super Clean got rid of the old paint. Hubcaps, front grille/bumper and rear bumper were replated by Chrome Tech
USA.
|
Paint is '61 Thunderbird Heritage
Burgundy fromMCW Automotive Finishes. |
|
It's amazing what fresh paint and Bare Metal Foil can do for an old model. |
|
 There is one flaw that I need to correct. The outer edges of the interior tub need to be trimmed out in body color. The white sticks out like a sore thumb! |
