Sixties Sam Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This is my first build since July, just finished it today. It's the AMT Little Eliminator Ranchero kit, built as a stock Ranchero. Weird kit - full of unneeded parts: customizing junk from the old Styline kit, wheels and a Chevy V8 from the '61 Ranchero custom, and other junk. It's missing a battery, an inside mirror, shock towers, underhood diagonal braces, and, worst of all, a 6 cylinder engine! I used a resin 6 from eBay, and made some towers and braces to look somewhat like the real truck. Parts boxes yielded a mirror and battery, and I turned down the wheel rims a bit. They covered up half of the whitewalls. Paint is Krylon peekaboo blue with Testors wet look clear. Not the best model ever, but kinda cute, I think!

wayne swayze Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Very clean build. I like your colour choice. The diorama has been great for a backdrop eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Great build! I am busy with one as well using a modified chassis and engine bay from a '67 Mustang and a Ken Kitchen 6 cylinder engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Looks great to me! I filed the wheel rims down on mine, so the wheels would fit inside the opening on the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
