Rebuilding an AMT '61 Imperial

This one was not a complete glue-bomb, but she was pretty dirty, and had some strange goo all over it, along with the customary broken windshield frame.2006_0709bigcarprojects10009.jpg

I got it apart and it cleaned up nicely.

It was missing the wheels and tires (I have a set from the '63 Lincoln Kit, which are the correct wheelcovers, and some Satco Firestone Deluxe Champion Half Whites), and I got a boot and headlamp panel from the Modelhaus. I'm currently doing the body prep for paint, as I have not decided on the color combo, but I plan to do this one replica stock.

Cool! I nearly gave away a '59 HT I scored this afternoon. It was missing a wheelcover, a custom skirt and the wheel backs, but not a car I dig. A buddy of mine does like 'em, so he bought it for $5.00. Heck, it only cost me $2.00.

I'll be interested to see how yours comes out.
