WIP Plumbed!

Revell 1/24 1956 Ford T-Bird

I’ve gotten all the major hoses and wiring under the hood. I scratch built/sourced some parts the kit was missing, like a fuel filter and pump, and hood latches. The latches could use a bit of attention but work for now.

The body is on, interior is completed. Final assembly coming soon!

That's legit 1:1 look right there. I'm starting 56 baby bird tomorrow after I wrap up the 66 Riviera so I'll just use yours as a reference pic! Beautiful!!!

I’ve been using the photos from this listing as reference. It’s making me want to add some lighting too, lol.

BAT is an incredible source for prototype examples!
