Posted: Fri Jul 05, 2013 7:43 pmThanks John. I don't know why it looks kinda pinkish in the pics, but it's Camel yellow Tamiya paint. Must be the lighting in the room. :?

Posted: Fri Jul 05, 2013 7:52 pmReally neat looking T Bird you got there!
I like the paint scheme!
Wish mine was that far done.
I got as far as radiusing out the rear wheel openings and that is it.
Still not sure of color or decals just yet....

That is freaking awesome!!! Those Pioneer wheels really set it off nicely too! What motor are you running? Is it the stock chassis?

Re: '56 T-Bird Finally Done!
Posted: Sat Jul 06, 2013 6:12 amThanks for the kind words guys. I used a Pioneer chassis, shortened about 1/8". It's just a Pioneer that got whacked, Pioneer wheels, tires, and motor. The rear chassis screw towers were shortened too. :)

Re: '56 T-Bird Finally Done!
Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2013 6:57 amI appreciate your comments. Seems like this project took forever. It took almost 2 months to get the car, some people should not be allowed on eBay, and they had great feedback, but a million and one excuses. :)
