The kit was tooled before the race cars were approved by NASCAR and built, the only existing '83 Thunderbird race car was the car Will Cronkrite built from a cut down Banjo chassis for the movie 'Stroker Ace'. Tom M.: "That's one of the many issues with the Monogram '83 Thunderbird. The 83-86 was wrong wheelbase, front fenders were messed up and ballooned out as well as body lines and air dam." ( link) 'Eazy': "The kit was cast in late 82 for Stroker Ace, and mirrored the movie car, which wasn't Nascar approved. All are from before the database got corrupted, so the links are no longer working. I collected the following comments from the Randy Ayers Nascar forum. One problem mentioned is that the roll cages don't always fit the various body shapes very well, especially around the A and B pillars. I've read they share a lot of parts, which could mean that the detailing is generic, but at the same time most 1:1 cars use the same chassis (Banjo Matthews in this case), suspension and drive train parts. I don't know much about the dozens and dozens of stock cars issued by Monogram. The build started easy enough, but I found more and more problems.
The oldest is Monogram's 1/24 Ford Thunderbird driven by Bill Elliott in the 19 seasons. I have two NASCAR models under construction. Monogram NASCAR 1985 Thunderbird #1 Monogram NASCAR 1985 Thunderbird #1
