In 1988 their bright Pink Pro Street Thunderbird started to win awards from coast to coast and was featured on national magazine covers. They sold the award-winning T-bird in 1991 but, in 2013, Matt and Debbie had the opportunity to re-purchase the car and completely restore it. The car has a 351 Cubic Inch V-8 with Hay-designed twin supercharger system, twin custom Davis radiators, and Alston 4-link rear suspension. Plus they raced the car with a fully detailed interior with fire extinguisher and stereo speakers. This was a Strip Racer with STYLE!<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the Revell Kit #85-4356 Thunderbird Pro Street built by Matt and Debbi Hay. This is a 1\/25 scale kit and is a Skill 3 for advanced builders. There are 126 parts molded in White, Chrome, Clear and Clear Red with Vinyl tires. <a title=\"000b by dougcole2000, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29474631@N04\/16601091898\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7598\/16601091898_0e49d6eb3a_m.jpg\" alt=\"000b\" width=\"131\" height=\"91\" \/><\/a> This is a direct Re-release (Re-Pop) and the kit copyright on the chassis is 1990, which was the First release. Then over the next several years the kit was packaged in a few different box arts. Also in 1990 a limited collector kit with a collector card was released to be sold in Wal-Mart stores only. Twenty-four years later in 2014 Revell re-issued the kit in the Original parts configuration. There is a highly detailed motor, nice chassis and full interior with separate parts for easy detailing. The body represents the car accurately and has very few mold lines. The chrome is bright and clean. The decals are crisp. The instructions are straight forward and well detailed with color callouts and part numbers. Overall the completed build dimensions are: Length: 8-5\/8&#8243;, Width: 3-1\/8&#8243;, Height: 2&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Covered in this Review:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 If you want to perfect your build; basic construction; preparing parts for better finishing; alternate assembly sequence suggestions for fit and ease of finishing; complete paint and adhesive selections and applications; test fitting; mold seam identification and repair; using white glue for the window glass; detailing the turn signals; suspension construction; detailing the tires for realism; frame construction; \u00c2\u00a0detailing the window surrounds; engine construction and detailing; a correct wiring diagram; wiring the engine; building and detailing the interior; assembling and installing the roll cage; a gauge location map; finishing methods for the hood snorkel; contest model considerations; paint masking instructions; using \u00e2\u20ac\u0153nail polish\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for paint; correcting instruction errors; detailing the dashboard; using floor wax to make crystal clear window glass; where not to use glue;\u00c2\u00a0 decal preparation and application; using decal setting solutions for that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153painted on\u00e2\u20ac\u009d look; are all fully examined in this <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>18 page, full-color<\/strong> <\/span>Step-by-Step review in PDF format.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/?page_id=2932\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>100% money back guarantee!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click the <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Buy Now<\/strong> <\/span>link below to purchase the full Step-by-Step review for <strong>$2.95 USD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Important<\/span> &#8211; You <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">MUST<\/span> click on the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Return to Right on Replicas, LLC<\/span>&#8221; link after you&#8217;ve made your purchase to download your review!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"_top\"><input name=\"cmd\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/><br \/>\n<input name=\"hosted_button_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"LJTX9ZP79UWS8\" \/><br \/>\n<input alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Right On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92015 All rights reserved. *All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.
