Your right, the 70's had the black scoops. I had it attached prior to shooting the color and forgot to mask it so I just left it the way it was. The tail lights...were a total pai. There was no bezels, lenses, no backing etc with the kit, got a bezel/bumper from online request then I filled the bezels in with some Bob Smith glue didn't realize till after the glue had set up that the lenses are inset, not flush. The spoiler is a weird one, it looks like it was made for a Trans Am or Datsun, the fin is not right on the edges. Notice hot the back of the fin is angled similar to the front leading edge in your 1:1 pic, were the kit's is straight. I probably should have cut the angle but...well there is always next time.

I see it is like that in the pic but for some reason it looks straight in person. When I was looking at the pic before I posted it I was LIKE WTF is wrong here. Going back looking at it again and measuring it to see if there is something I am not seeing.
Thanks for catching it. -

I have heard many not so nice comments on this board and other's about the problems with getting your paint orders from James @ ScaleFinishes.com.
I placed an order for 4 bottles back in mid February or later? and I shortly after that got an email from James saying that there had been delays in getting his products out to the customers and gave me a very reasonable reason why that was the case. He at the time told me that he was shipping my order that day after mixing the paint, this was 3/ 5/18. Well fellow model buffs, the paint order came yesterday 3/12/18 in the mail and it was exactly what I ordered.
I think it's high time that we show James some love and give him his due, he's a very hard working man of his word, produces an excellent product and service for us and I feel that in today's world where everyone is p&@#!d at everyone else and blame them for whatever goes wrong in their lives that maybe it's high time that we say thank you to James. KUDOS to James and thank you. -
great job. Certainly well rounded!

beautiful rendition of a '37 hot rodded PU! Very well done!

SWEET RIDE!

Very nice! That truck looks like you took it right out of my case. I made on like it awhile back used Krylon for the paint to match closely like what was on my dad's 1:1 back in the day. used real wood for my bed bed. it's on here in my posts in the pickup section.
Great job on both cars! -

Thank you Cobramike. I always thought AMT didn't support replacements like Revell does. I guess it's a new tune with Round2 now. Hope I don't need to use it.
you know, I didn't think they did that either but I needed those parts in the worse way so I gave them a shot! Good to know these companies are standing behind their products.

How did you get parts from AMT?
Hey crazyjim,
Here's a link to their web page: http://round2corp.com/
Then on the top right side of that page click the tab "support"---then click on "request parts". There will be a form for you to fill out, just list what your missing, or is broken.
If you don't have a receipt give them the info about where and when you bought the model. It's free service, takes a few weeks, but it is a valuable resource and they are
great to have that available. In other words, it wouldn't hurt your case to apply a bit of gentle suction, and a thank you for their great models always seems to be a nice thing to say!
Good luck,
regards

Thanks for the tip, the mirrors...spaced out doing that, again...as you can see by the pics of this one I left the mirrors off. Not what I wanted to do but the kit I bought had been opened and some parts were missing including the mirrors.
Yours is nice looking, good job on it.
