AMT's venerable Ford Model A Roadster kit lent most of the parts here, the early style Flatty is a generic AMT motor with heads intake modified. The doors open and theres a wood floor. These cars are really basic, this one even has original style model A mechanical brakes and friction shocks. Thanks for looking.

Nice! Love the detail, the wood floor, mechanical brakes, doors, gauges, wires, hoses, paint, decals, I love it all. What a great job on the old AMT flathead! It appears you had the real 1:1 to look at, great job!
