I did yes! I always felt the one on the '97 thunderbird template was rather monstrous, lol

They had an upper grill nose in 94. Same nose as 1995.

By the looks of the grills on either side of the T-BIRD logo, it definitely looks like an 1989-93 front end. Some comparisons of the different front ends of the street and race cars:

I like how you use the 2 exide cars for the 2nd and third examples, because those schemes were cool

I actually didn’t notice until you pointed it out, but yes, the Bodine paint scheme was always one of my favorites.

This is the kind of detail in replicas I can only dream of. Can't wait to see what you've got coming up in the future.

I appreciate it Steve, I really do. I may turn my attention towards some image resources once this carset is done - but I hope to keep coming up with new insane ideas to tackle
