Here's the new Thunderbird...
I removed the scoop and porthole, then I lowered it, shrunk & blacked out the grill, and removed the "gills" and half of the wheel spokes.
Clean, lean, and mean. Then I went
crazy, and narrowed the body and gave it a *little* of the coke bottle
shape.
I Even shaved
the handles!
I'd drive it... :)
