Thanks you guys. I'll be giving it my best shot. All new territory for me being a newer car.

Oh HECK yeah!!! Great finish on this one Jeremy!! I haven't tackled one of these kits yet but every time one is built up, I get the itch to try one. Good turn out buddy.

Progress is looking good with the tubs so far Ken!!

WOW!!! This really turned out nicely Craig. Great color, superb details and the car sits great. The wheels you used give the car a good look. I wouldn't have expected Cragars to "go" with this car, but they worked out pretty dang well.

Good lookin' engine James.

Cleanly built engine. Stance is right on as well.

Was browsing through my topics and found this one that I never replied to you guys on. Going to be working on the outside of this diorama pretty soon. Sorry for the late LATE reply fellas. Thanks a million.

Thanks Carl!! Now to move on to the interior. After building the chassis up, I'm a little let down with the interior. I mean.....it's okay... The problem is going to be painting the contrasting panels on the seats, door panels and dash. LOTS of masking in store for me. Check it out: Here's the layout which has now been primed and had the semi gloss black lightly sprayed on for the right effects.

Looking so forward to this one. Will be watching.

Really good work going on in here. Love all the detailing. I used to carpet all of my builds and while it does look good, I was always afraid to turn the model over after that for fear of any loose fibers winding up on the seats. lol

That engine does indeed look good. Nice!!!

That color is GORGEOUS!!! Very nicely done!! Interior is coming along well too.

Oh yeah.....I'll be watching this one. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with it. I've got this kit in line to be built soon as well. If you don't already know, make sure you do a LOT of test fitting ahead of time. This kit has known wheel/ tire location issues with the tires being too far outside of the fender line as well as stance issues. Will be watching your progress bud.

Thanks Randy. Sorry for the late reply bud. Been out of pocket now for a few weeks....out of town...sick...other priorities....lol. Never ends. Well, I've finally got enough done on this bad boy to show some progress. To say that this is one of the better chassis builds I've built up would simply be an understatement. AMT did VERY well on this one. In looking at the reference photos that I had to work with, I knew I had my work cut out for me if was to replicate something with so many different shades of the same color as well as the aluminum & steel paneling that provided the base work for the chassis that included almost 50 parts by the time it was all said and done. Most of the parts were in the rear suspension. I'm in awe at the amount of detail that was provided. Getting everything to look non "Blase" was a trick in itself.

Any more on this one? So looking forward to this one.

Aint THAT tha truth! LOL!! I've got one diorama that's completed and I'm always adding a few things here and there to it. It's even gotten seasonal now with the addition of a Christmas tree during the holidays. lol Awesome work on everything in the picture. You've got some good skills brutha.

I like what you're doing with this one. This is gonna be great to continue watching.....

Came out well James. Paint looks great man.

That turned out VERY well. I'm right there with Roger, I've never seen one of these built up stock before. Great work on this Joseph. BTW......I like that shop as well. Did you scratch build that or is that a diorama set?

This is looking great so far Lee!! Love what you're doing with the engine!! Nice touch with the Duster decal on the rocker cover.

Great ideas going into this one. Being a Prius, I've gotta admit, I was reluctant to click on this thread but I really like what I'm seeing. Watching.....

I’ll be coming back to this build. I’ve been wanting to build this kit for a long time now. Looking great so far bud

Thanks fellas!! Getting this one to a lower stance has been a tricky ordeal but I'm making my way through it. I did some work on the rear suspension to get the stance mostly where I want it. Gonna play around with the front a little more to get a tad bit lower. A good test fit/ mock up later: One thing this kit has going for it is a completely detailed out undercarraige. Very high parts count (over 40 parts) and a great effort by AMT on replicating it.

Those indoor photos look really good but it's those outdoor shots that really do this build all the justice. Dang near flawless build Bob.

WOW!!! This is looking SWELL!!!
