That is perfect. -
2025 Cannonball Run - 50 years since the 1975 run.
Sam I Am replied to Mattilacken's topic in Community Builds
I sorted out my missing engine parts, and main body color is sprayed. I figure if your trying to fly below the radar, go fast colors might not be a good idea, so I went with a more subdued semi gloss color I had. -
Do you also have 1:1 project cars?

I just remembered that I did a thread on my Hubley models, so I didn't need to dig them out from the bottom of my closet.

1960 GMC 1 ton flatbed

I love it! -
Absolutely beautiful π. Great job!

I actually have more than I thought I did. The black 49 Ford and Mercury were from about 1980, the rest are early to late '80's. I have an amt 69 Chevelle that I restored, and an amt 57 Ford that I recently pulled apart for restoration. The Jeep and the 56 Ford are two of my favorites. I also have a number of Hubley Model A Fords, 32 Chevrolet, and a Packard that I built with my dad from about 1975 through 1980. All brush painted with Testors bottle paint. They are all boxed up at the bottom of a closet, so no way am I pulling those out for a quick pic. π

That is beautiful. I have built the other two amt offerings, but not the sedan.
-
Absolutely stunning. My sister has one, her first car when she turned 16. It needs total restoration now, but I am planning on building one like she wants hers to look. It isn't an XL, so I will need to change a few things.

Thanks, I was looking for something a little more classic in the wheel department and found these leftover from the Revell 1969 Nova.
-
Thanks everyone. Even though it took as long as it did, and isn't perfect, I am happy that I finally built my grail car.
-
When I started finishing my 60 sedan delivery, I found that the chrome tree also included the bits for the 59. I wish I had noticed this earlier, I might have used some of them because of better detail.

Beautiful job! I grew up with Model T Fords and a number of years ago, on another forum, I mentioned that I wanted to build one of these. A few days later this showed up in the mail. He had built one a few years before that, and sent it to me as a gift.

Thanks, and yes, it was a bear to do the foil work. I love cars from the age of excess....until it's time for the foil work.
-
Thanks again everyone.
-
Thanks everyone! Yes, it's the Flintstone body. All I can say is you need to do a lot of trimming to different parts of the chassis to get it to fit right.
-
Thanks everyone. I found a car online that was the inspiration. The wheels, engine, and the steering wheel all came from the Monogram '59 Caddy. I also incorporated a 1961 Impala hood into it.
-
2025 is off to a better start. This resin body was a pain to get everything to fit. But, it only took two years off and on to finish.

2025 Cannonball Run - 50 years since the 1975 run.
Sam I Am replied to Mattilacken's topic in Community Builds
I finally have some progress. The chassis is coming along, and of course the basic mock up. Spoiler, it won't be a go fast color, 'cause you can't fly under the radar with any of those. π I won't be able to finish the drive train due to missing engine parts. I boxed this kit up from various new sprues and did not notice that the top end of the engine was missing. I had another glue bomb engine but I can't get the heads, valve covers, and intake off. So I will put a request in the wanted section. -
Lots of work going on Tom. The Plymouth is my favorite one of the three.
-
I love these kits I have built 2 coupes and a sedan delivery. I also have a big box of parts and rebuilders to eventually build....unless I send them to you. π Keep up the good work !
