You're missing the "jet intake" bumper parts and the '55 didn't have the porthole on the hardtop. That didn't come in until '56. Other than that, nice work. Here's a link to a scan of a '55 Thunderbird sales brochure and you'll see what I mean.

You're looking at the car as it exists in the world, hence "portrait work" in the description. What came from Ford and what you see walking cars shows are two entirely different things. You're welcome to take it up with the owner if it bothers you that much.

I'm just going by the original sales literature. The "intakes" are separate parts from the main bumper and the '56 roof would fit on a '55, since they were essentially identical. I was just pointing out what I noticed that was different from all the other '55 T-birds I've seen over the years.
