Just bought two new Thunderbirds!!!

March 29, 2005, 12:22:35 AM

1/24-1/25 scale, models off ebay. rims from my local hobby shop.

1983-86 Nascar, tons of mods, big ol' carbed V8... Beautiful condition car.

1987 Thunderbird TC, builds stock or mild custom. Unfortunately the windows are FUBAR and the mfg has had it out of production so long they don't have any spares for the kit.

Hmmm, what could that be in the little pink & yellow package?

Oh look, 10-D alloys with Thunderbird center caps!!!

I've also got an MN-12 Cougar, but this is a Fox board afterall.

I really have to get one of those tc models. Then again, I'd be getting frustrated with trying to get a mirror finish on the plastic

I've got snowflakes, TC came with those. My ride has 10-D's and it amazed me that ANYBODY produced them at 1/25 scale, let alone with the photo etched 85-88 style T-bird caps. Besides, 10-D rims are WAY cooler than snowflakes.

Right now for these I've got the T-bird Snowflakes, T-bird 10-D, Cougar XR7 aluminum MN-12 rims, some beadlock racing ones, some 5-spoke kinda thing...
