Welcome back to the workbench! Today we’re kicking off a brand-new build with Revell’s 1956 Ford Thunderbird kit. This first episode is all about:
📦 Unboxing the kit and checking out what’s inside
⚙️ Starting on the engine block and transmission assembly
🎨 Talking chrome parts, aftermarket details, and possible upgrades
🔧 Setting the stage for a clean, stock-style build (with a few custom touches)

This T-Bird is going to be a fun change of pace — a classic pink, box-stock build with some added details like plug wires, hoses, and maybe battery cables. It’s meant to be clean, simple, and true to the original.

Along the way, I’ll share my process, tips, and of course, the unexpected challenges that always pop up in model building.
