Sixties Sam Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 This 61 Ranchero is my latest build - a quickie. Found the kit on eBay for $5.00 on a Friday, and Monday morning it's in my hands! It's built pretty much OOB, but I cut down a parts box roll pan for the front and added an original 61 Falcon custom grille from my ancient parts. It's a bit of a sloppy fit, as it was in 1961. Rear pan is a puttied up bumper. I put 59 Caddy-type bullet taillights on the rear, and lowered the truck about 3 scale inches. Paint is Krylon Pumpkin Orange, and white with Glosskote clear. I love the simplicity of these old tool AMT kits. It's nice to build one with a one piece interior, molded chassis, and metal axles once in a while! Like being 12 years old again! Comments welcome.

Mr Dedo Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Picked up a pair of these kits for over the winter. Already started to play with them after seeing your tail lights and paint choice. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
