Bullybeef Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I’ve had this kit in the stash for almost a year! I threw the suspension together with the custom wheels from the Amt 62 thunderbird and I like the mock-up so much that I decided to build it. I’ll let the pics do the rest of the talking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Nice custom body color and I like the way you did your interior colors. Clean looking foil job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Metallic Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Looking good. Love the color. So those wheels were in the AMT 62 TBird kit? I'm assuming the most recent version with the purple car with scallops on the box? Didn't realize it had custom wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedotwo Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Lovin' the color choice and the masking of the trim to detail (and the clean work area)! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Metallic Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Well it says right there includes many new parts 😂 I knew there was always a custom version of this kit planned when AMT originally offered up this kit back in the late 90's, and the taillight lenses even made it in (accidently) to later issues. It's cool to see that idea finally realized by Round2. I dismissed the purple kit when it came out as I already had a couple original issue ones. Now I'll have to keep my eye out. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullybeef Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 A small update, frame is mounted to the floor pan, interior is complete. And engine bay is just about finished, working on getting the body attached once the clears dry to the Pilar’s. The Falcon restore in the foreground was my squirrel this week lol.

Hi Bill, Speaking of your Falcon build, did you locate a set of side glass for it. I noticed your want ad and believe that I still have a set that I won’t be using. Need to check this evening.
