Reigner92 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 the chop is Jaguar based. I really like how it turned out, I think it would look excellent in ford current and future product line. thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2b2 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I remember that pic! excellent choice for a donor and a good start, Reigner tho I want some more detailing/graphics since I always say(rant) that the closest existing car to my vision of a Tbird is the Aston Martin RAPIDE, I suggest playing around with transplanting pieces from one of those or you could try the Focus Electric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smoothed out the fenders over the headlights, added the Focus Electric grill, a few other adjustments was all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look good though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2b2 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Now it just looks 100% aston martin. It does look good though. imho the HLs and 'chunkiness' of the hood above the grille keeps it from looking that much like an Aston I had a revised Logo idea that inspired a Tbird front end, grille & HLs, about 3 years ago but never got it scanned or redone on my puter and don't remember it exactly but the co-ordinating TLs did get made into an animated .gif Give you any ideas?

I think a new Thunderbird is long overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcosises Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I would love to see Ford roll out a new Tbird and 2013 sounds as good of a time as ever. And even though it does look just like an Aston Martin, I don't think I'd complain about driving that around one bit. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmm55 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It doesn't look "just like an Aston Martin" as mentioned the grill was from a Focus Electric. So I pushed it MORE to an A-M ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'Cal Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Even a two door Taurus or stretched Mustang would be welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snkbitn Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think it could be a little sleeker without the bulge in the hood, but that is definitely awesome looking! Nice Work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
