(PICS) Ford Friday on Monday
The big boss is out of the country so I've got a brief respite from "Honey Do's." So, I decided to do something about the boring 2003 Maisto T-Bird I'd banished to my guest bedroom shelves. Now, it's earned it's way to a prime spot in my cabinet. I like this version much better. Thanks for looking.

Pics. Its only progressed this far. Removed the quarter window, cut the springs to lower, wheels and tires from Maisto Challenger and drilled out the brake rotors. photo no longer available

Looks good. Drilling rotors is a lot of work.

Thanks, but it looks so much better when you do.

A late model car? No altered wb? No drag slicks? No custom decals? A convertible? Who is this?

I am impressed with the "roadster-rack" over the back seat. NICELY intergrated! Gald you painted...
...the top. This Bird looks pretty cool (and its a convertible with trunk space...lol)

Yeah, a moment of divergence! LOL! I'm thinking of driving this in the WDC.
