This is my first post to this forum. I'd like to show you, what I did to a Ford Thunderbird nascar body. 

We have this Finnish Car Magazine called Mobilisti, that introduced an exotic Ford 351cid V8 powered luxury sport 2 door sedan. 

Naturally there is no model kit to build this vehicle, so I took a Ford Thunderbird nascar body and made a lot of modications so it ended up looking like this. Small section of the roof is untouched original plastic, otherwise it's practically scratch built. All the interior too is self made. 

The engine didn't get a lot of details, just basic wires etc. The engine block is somethingsomething V8, I just made the valve covers to look like 351 Ford style.

The rear axle is from Jaguar E- Type.

That is brilliant. To do that from a Nascar T-bird is simply out of sight. The end result is most impressive.  :thumbsup: I look forward to seeing more of your work.
