Monty Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Back in the '60s, my parents and my older brother owned '65 ragtops, and I'd like to do at least one of those cars.If one isn't available in resin, what will it take to accurately modify the AMT kit?

High octane Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I believe that Kevin from the Detroit area had a '65 Galaxie convertible body at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfhess Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Missing Link (Kevin) cast a 66 Ford convertible. Not sure if he still makes them though.It wouldn't be difficult to cut the roof off an AMT 65 Galaxie. You would need to find a suitable boot to cover the top well.

impcon Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The '65 convertible shows up on Ebay fairly often. If you absolutely must have an unbuilt kit, then they can be pricey. But clean built ups are cheaper than resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br67 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Nick, I may have a spare body from the Amt annual kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 If you are able to get a 65 hardtop kit, and a 65 or 66 boot, a nice conversion is doable. I did one several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 I do have 1 body left....no boot but a 65 body!Kevin, thanks for the response. Would it be possible to cast another boot separately? Please PM me with cost of body, shipping etc. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
