Description
This Thunderbird restoration did not go according to plan.
What started as a simple factory-style Redline restoration quickly turned into a battle with brittle reproduction parts, broken hood pins, late-night problem solving, and an unexpected custom gold paint experiment.
After fighting through replacement hood issues, cleaning up decades of wear, restoring the base, and adding a fresh vinyl top, we ended up with a unique color-shifting Thunderbird that wasn't exactly factory correct... but might be even cooler.
Sometimes the project decides what it's going to become.
