Hey all.

With some body mods too. The 68, I slit along the sill joint and pulled out the lower portion.

And the 9 is a slab side.

Totally incorrect for this year, but I think of this car as some type of ASA/Late model, when slab bodywork was sometimes used in early 90's.

And TS Smoke over the wheels.
The nose vents, a partial fill here and a full fill on the 68.

Paints are TS True Blue and a gloss bright yellow auto spray, which really works in this scale.

So that's me finished with these, finally! The shells were painted back in October.
I'll post a group shot too, with cars from Randy's.
Been a good year and I could have had two more. But a paint and decals fail,kiboshed that.
A fully painted Skoal #33, gold version, with a cloudy clearcoat. Am just getting over that!
Great job on these two Thunderbirds, well done. Looking forward to your 2025 builds.
Wow, very clean builds 8) 8)
Like the wheels of the Elloitt Tbird.
Great looking models! The decal work is terrific, a talent not often noticed. You should be proud. Thanks for sharing with us
Two very excellent builds, VDC. Glad you got them finished and shared them with us. Everything about them is just right. Body work, stance, paint work, and decals.
Very nice period cars
They look great! Nice job.
Thanks to all.
My first time mods on these, thankfully were successful.
I have six more '93 bodyshells so I'll just keep on changing their sills and vents.
