Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Got this kit at a Hobby Lobby sale. It's an AMT kit. It's not bad at all. Makes for a very nice build. Note that if you put the Continental on the back you will not be able to have the rear plate.

espo Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Great looking build. I like the paint scheme and interior combination. The 1:1 cars with the Continental Kit would often mount the rear license plate on the tire cover. May not be the prettiest way but many of the covers actually had a slight recessed area for mounting the license plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the continental was an after thought for them. It should also have had Thunderbird on the valve covers. The box shows it, but the kit does not have it.

StevenGuthmiller Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Continental kits were almost never a factory installed item. They were after market items and they could vary a lot depending on the manufacturer. While some may have had a frame mounted to the spare tire cover itself, it was probably more common to see the license plate mounted directly on the bumper.
