T-BOLT by ROB RILEY
This started out as a stock 67 mercury comet, and I cut the rear 1/4 panels off and moved them forward about 1/2 inch. I used superglue, and automotive spot putty to fill the cut lines. the chassis was cut & shortened to match the new shorter wheel base. I used the kit supplied rear axle and leaf springs out back. I turned the kit supplied front king-pins up-side down to raise, the front end. I added parts box radius rods to the front. the interior was cut off right behind the door panels, and I made up some plastic sheets to cover the former back seat area. the engine, and headers are from a polar lights stock car kit, and is a big boss 429 painted ford blue. the fuel injection intake is from the parts box, and the stacks are from a Tom Daniel beer wagon kit. the transmission is kit supplied. the chassis is painted flat black, as well as the interior. I made the roll bar from a couple of pieces of coat hanger, and sprayed it silver. the body paint is krylon primer/filler, krylon silver, krylon translucent orange, krylon gold leaf, and then testors clear lacquer. the hood is sprayed flat black. the wheels are from a jolly roger kit, and the rear slicks are skinny Goodyear blue streaks. the decals are all from the parts box.
