Thanks!
I've been using Tamiya TS 75 Champagne Gold for the vinyl parts and TS 46 Light Sand for the carpet area and headliner. Almost all of the factory A990 and AWB cars came with gold interiors. Only a couple were red. Some cars had black rubber floor mats while others had the tan carpets.
Thanks

Nice work. What paint did you use for the interior?

I have millions of tires. If you have a picture of what you need, I can probably match them up.

Sounds good

I had an '85 back in the day. I remember that it was easy to work on, which was good.... because it always needed to be worked on.

I've got a resin body with a chopped top which was based on the AMT if that helps.
-
Just curious, will the kit come with a 4 speed or an automatic? I think Stricker ran a 4 speed.

The hood opening was shaped like that. I did not need to modify it. The later Revell Challenger model, and the old AMT Yankee Challenger both came with the twin hood scoop RT hood. But I am pretty sure that they will not fit on the TA body.

The shaker scoop will actually fit through the Is TA hood. Here is one that I did at the age of about sixteen back in the eighties. This is the TA Challenger with the hemi and spoiler off of the '71 Cuda.

I've got one that you can have. You'll have to strip the paint off though. PM me your address and I will get it out to you.

These are from a very early AMT '55 Nomad kit...
...so "these" are "D"s?
Those are the D's. The spokes kind of arch outwards. They were designed to clear disk brake calipers on disk brakes.

I thought those were American "Daiseys"

Those are Torq Thrust "Ds". All the TTs I have Appear to look like TT Originals. I would be interested to know if there ever was a kit with the "Ds".
I am not sure about the latest release, but the AMT '55 Chevy Nomad comes with TT D's as an option.

All I really changed was the wheels and tires. Also, I had to tweak the suspension a little to get the stance right. This was my first attempt at simulating woodgrain.

Time to start dumping them on fleabay!
Dumping the originals could be a gamble. Many years ago when AMT still existed, there was an ad hanging in a local hobby shop announcing "soon to released" kits from AMT. One of the kits was the '69 Dodge Coronet R/T. It was probably going to have the new (for that time) chassis that was used on the '68 Roar Runner and '70 Super Bee. I had 2 original MPC '69 Coronet R/T's that had been built but were both unpainted with nice chrome and the original boxes. They would have been very easy restorations. I sold them on Ebay for I think about $75.00 each. AMT went belly up, the Coronets never came out, and I was out 2 very nice originals.
The other side of that is the Revell '30 Model A Coupe. The tooling was damaged and it was unknown if the kit would ever be seen again. Originals were showing up on Ebay for over $100.00 each. Then there was talk that the tooling was going to be repaired. I gambled and sold my 2 unbuilts on Ebay and did quite well.

I have a rear that should clean up and a front/rear with some light overspray that might polish off. Not show quality but they're yours if you want them. PM me if interested.

I've got wheels from the AMT '29 Model A if that helps. PM me if you want them.
