                        1984 GT350 Convertible project

                        Hi all! Been a lurker here for a little bit and thought I'd post my latest project. I always wanted a model of an 1984 20th Anniversary GT350 Mustang convertible. Only problem is that there were none made.:( Only kit available was of a hatchback, and it's not the greatest looking kit IMO. I spent a couple years gathering the parts and trying to get motivated to do this with my busy schedule. I haven't put together a kit since, well, it's been so long I can't remember! Anyways, with that in mind, I guess it didn't come out too bad. Wink [;)] Thanks for the tips and beautiful projects you all have posted!

                        Also, has there ever been a 87-88 thunderbird turbo coupe offered? Haven't found any info on the net. Thanks,

                        Alex

                        Hey that looks great Alex. I like that you did a build up article on it also. I like that kind of thing. Keep up the good work.

                        Alex , welcome to the forum . Excellent job on the mustang. That is a great example of what can be done with some kitbashing. Glad you posted and look forward to seeing more of your work.

                        Yes there was a Monogram kit of the 1987 T-Bird Turbo coupe. It has not been reissued yet, but you probably find one on ebay or a swap meet.Big Smile [:D]

                        Thanks for the compliments! I thought I'd get chewed for kitbashing, but I did my best to find kit's that were already bashed or missing parts (which is why it took so long to start the project!). Also, thanks for the info on the Tbird. Sure enough there is one on there now. :)

                        Why would you get chewed for kitbashing? I respect that very much, I think just about everyone here loves taking parts from whatever they can use to get the end result that they want. Kitbashing rocks!
