    The last AMT '63 Impala with clear red taillights was the $3 drag kit with the '65 Chevelle. The Craftsman kit had clear red too. I believe AMT remove tail light inserts about 1975 when they made a special veterans kit with promo/open hood and poor engine. I have only seen a photo of it. So it was all done for ERTL in 1987 to reissue.

    For whatever it is worth, this kit good for windshield, exhaust, and hemi engine to restore old mpc chargers

    Are you going to sell more castings of these Fords?

    I bought a bunch of Dave's resin models. They are great. I have enough 64 Cutlass models but a 65 Cutlass would be great.

    It is fun building 39/40s. I am going to make a '39 by putting wipers over the windshield and modifying the dash. My dad had a 39 before WW2 but sold it in 1941, After the war, 1946, he bought a beat up 39 from the black market at the same price as he paid for a new one before the war. There were no new cars to get after the war except for crappy 30s cars.

    All of your comments good. I only built the Revell back in the late 80s early 90s

    AMT messed up the rear tips in 1965, never right.

    It took many tries for ERTL to get the 65 GTO right back to stock. The first one was bad.

    I carefully sand them smooth to replicate the real car.

    AMT ,Revell and MPC 70-72 Chevelles are a mixed bag . Each kit has it's strength. MPC has the best side shape. Revell has better interior. AMT better engine/chassis. In my opinion

    I think those bulges are shadow renderings by artists that AMT mistakingly thought was actually sheet metal
