This looks great! Did you use a clear coat and if so what kind was it?

1997 McDonalds Thunderbird
Stock Revell kit and decals. I lowered the stance, scratch built the exhaust added photoetched grille and vents. Other than that all box stock. For some reason I had tro ...

We might as well get some mileage out of our fails. I have a body straightening fail from this weekend that I could add to the pile.

Very Happy

1996 McDonalds Thunderbird
Pretty much box stock but the decals were in pretty bad shape. I used white decal film in an attempt to keep the colors from showing through the golden arches and the num ...

I just finished a car with some rough looking monogram decals. I coated the first few just in case (testors clearcoat). That seemed to work ok but these particular decals needed some help to conform ...

I use a grinding attachment on the rotary tool to remove the lettering, the ridge on the inside sidewall, and the molding lines. Then i sand the whole tire to even out where i may have gotten a littl ...

Looking for a good set of decals for Bill Elliott's 1996 McDonalds Thunderbird.

I bought the Monogram kit on ebay, it was factory sealed but the decals are in pretty bad shape. I could buy anoth ...

You really nailed the wheels and tires! The whole car looks great. I did a double take, thought I was looking at the real car!

I finally finished the 1986 car.
* 1986 Resin nose (thanks @OLE SCHOOL MODELER)
* High-back racing seat (thanks @lefty1820)
* 9-hole racing wheels (thanks @Jagracer68)
* Reduced the front wheel ...

Just wanted to say that it has been a pleasure dealing with Jeff (lefty1820 here). His replies are rapid and courteous and the items I asked about where shipped quickly and well packed.

Thanks a ...

I will be getting a set of these decals. I can't wait to build this one!

If anyone has a 2000 Revell Taurus for sale send me a note.

I have been dulling the chrome down a bit using Tamiya panel line accent (black). It gets down in the crevices and creates more of a shadow.
I watched a You Tube video from Luka Cee Channel (episode ...

Any luck?

I'm a little slow building kits. Since picking the hobby up again in 2020, I have built 5 cars 1983, 1984, 1987, 1988 & 2001. But I have the kits set aside for '85, 86, 97, 98, & 99. So at ...

I just completed the 1984 Coors Tbird.
I had some questionable quality decals for this one, so I doubled the original kit decals with the aftermarket ones. I replaced the 5 hole wheels with 9 hole ...

Looking for WETWORKS DECALS (WW04) - 2000 #94 MCDONALD'S 'DRIVE THRU' TAURUS

~~~OR~~~

If anyone knows when 3 Amigos will have Bill Elliott's 2000 McDonalds 25th Anniversary decals available I co ...

That is a treasure trove of parts!!! I'm looking for two high backed racing seats... something that would have been used in the '85 and '86 seasons. Do you have any of those?

Has anyone on here had any experience with Madame decals? I try to use Powerslide whenever I can, but it looks like Madame is the only supplier for Bill Elliott's 1999 McD Drive Thru Taurus. Do they ...

Beautiful car!!!

Its the same guy that runs the facebook page. You might try asking him on there if he still has his website (I don't have a facebook account or I would inquire myself).
I see in the comments where ...

Not sure if it is the same guy or not, but here is a facebook page that sounds very similar (https://www.facebook.com/pg/plasticmodelkits/posts/).

They both refer to the site as "NMK".

It's a bit of a pain, but closing up the front wheel openings is worth it. For the wheels, I have used the stuff the stained glass hobby uses. Comes in a little bottle and you brush it on.

Thanks f ...

Working on the 1984 Coors tbird now, part of the larger project to build Bill Elliott's cars from 1983 to 2003.
I originally thought I would just do box stock and call it a day (with aftermarket deca ...

Very nice build! And a good picture too!
I always liked the Crisco car. The colors and the gold foil numbers on gold wheels are still a cool look. I liked it so much that I tried to build this ca ...

Check Southern Motorsports Hobbies (smhracing.com).

I had a set of these decals sitting in my cart at Mike's Decals and watching another set or two on ebay... doing my regular procrastination thi ...

Good info, thanks!
When do you think they stopped using these in Winston Cup cars? I'm building Bill Elliott's 1984 tbird now, wondering if I should leave it out or not.

Unrelated note...
Maybe ...

What do y'all do with the "water jug" that is included with all the Monogram Nascar kits? It is on all of the parts trees from the 80's, but it looks like someone took some white out to the ...

I have never seen a picture like that before. The second one shows 5 hole wheels on the front and 9 hole wheels on the back.

I was about to dive into casting my own wheels, but thanksfully found some on ebay. They show up fairly regularly, once you find a set you can start searching for similar products and usually find mo ...

Wow, that makes me look at snap togethers in a whole new light! Those are great looking builds.

Getting ready to build Bill Elliott's 1986 Coors Thunderbird using Monogram kit. I have seen several photos on here where the right nose and air dam is being used. Anyone on here know where I could ...

Where did you get the 1986 Thunderbird nose? I'm getting ready to start building Elliott's 1985 and 1986 cars. There is not much to differentiate the two but the nose and rear quarter windows. I'd ...
