Not sure how accurate you want to be, but the body you show is a 1960 Thunderbird (bars in the grill, 3 hash marks on rear fender, 3 taillights vs. 2).  The Monogram 1958 Thunderbird would be closer to a 1959, but is a styrene model kit with opening doors and hood, which would, obviously, not be as sturdy as what the 1-piece resin body you seem to have.  Good luck with this cool project.

I could be wrong, but I believe Miguel's project is based on the recently re-issued AMT 1/32 plastic kit of the '60 Thunderbird, and is not a resin body.
