Amercian Car collection, Box #17

These get better & better! The Mustang is nicely replicated but that Thunderbolt  is the star of the show. Remove the single exhaust, the rear seat & one bucket and the model would be perfect. Nice vid. 😎 

Another impressive edition of the American Car collection.  I wonder if the decals on the Thunderbolt could be removed without ruining the paint finish?  I much prefer the car in plain white.

Nice set of models. I wish they would have done a stock 1964 Ford Fairlane 2-door hardtop. My father had one, which I sometimes drove.

I would have been happy with a stock 1964 two door sedan to go with my Trax 1963 four door sedan also in white.

Jack, I have found recently that some decals or tampo printing can be removed with some very sticky cellophane tape as used on packaging.  I have even been able to transfer badging done this way from car to car.  But even if removed on this Thunderbolt you are left with the giant bulge in the hood and no wheel covers.

@john-quilter How can you reinstall them after? How can they stick back?

Another excellent collection and video look at them, John.

I dunno, that Screaming Chicken is pretty cool in my book! 😶

I cut off a very small section of the clear tape with the decal stuck to it and apply that to the model.
