Hot Wheels 2005 Non Series '58 Ford Thunderbird #181
Spray'd/brush'd this one. Cut top off, add'd scoop, smooth'd 'ood to add scoop, add'd wheelie bar's, wheel swap, trimm'd base

In the process 'o goon' the base back on, sumtin' jus' didn't go right an it didn't wanna go where it was suppos'd to go, then the goo set, then it got on mine finger's, then the base, then the car, then I kept tryin', an well it jus' got worse.

I hope you can salvage it. Looks like it'll be sweet if you can fix it!

I tink the biggest prob is the plastic base. It's like 'alf goo'd on, it's gonna bust pryin' it off, then the windshield an int are both goo'd in. I really 'ate when this 'appen's. The paint did look sweet an shiny, but when mine finger's got all o'er it an goo an paint an goo, an well, ya'll know the story........

It came back apart with minimal damage. Body 'as been sand'd an repaint'd. The base should be ok with a 'lil touch up paint, the rear axle/wheel's, well I tink that's, well, dust.
Not bad at least, only need to find a new rear axle for it.
