I live at the west border of B.C. In Washington State. Mind if I PM you?

Those are rad! Where is your LHS??

I have to chime in very late to the party. they are both good kits. IMHO, the AMT is more toyish. I can’t stand the wheels in either kit. I took the whole revell kit and but it under the California Cruser series Chevelle wagon, and got some wide steel rallies to make a grocery getter.

I’ve got to say Steve, your models are just awesome. I’ve gotten a lot out of your suggestions for the future. All I know is all the methods that are mentioned on this, gives a guy a life time of experimentation. So just remember that when you want to throw that hood or body away, cause you never are going to use it, save it for practice. this is a great forum with some great members?

Thanks Mike.

Hey everyone, I have two questions. 1, are all the Chevy 6 cyl engines up through the early 50’s considered “stove bolt?” 2, what colors are they?

What is and where did you get the wheel kit? Never mind I had to read better. Fireball! Sweet.

Great to see a certain someone active again. ?

WOW Dennis! I’m really loving this build. I’m looking forward to seeing it under glass. Now that everyone knows the work that went into it.

This is really looking wicked cool. Let’s see more.

OMG! That’s a lot of work on that body! I love it. Great job.

Those wheels look superb! Where did you get those masks?

True. There is exactly.03937 thou to a millimeter so rounding to .040 is more than accurate. I guess what I’m trying to say is if the wheel is measured by the very outer rim at 16.8, then minus 1.5, would equal 15.3, and yes it would be a 15 inch rim in scale, and I was just not reading where they measured the rim. I’m agreeing with you.

I see what you’re saying. It’s just when you get to being 25 times smaller on anything it starts getting lost in translation. I would never measure a wheel by the outer lip.

Actually there is .040 of an inch to a mm and .040 of an inch per inch in 1:25 scale. So it’s more like 17” rim.?

I second that. They look Pegasus.

Touché

Scale Mate knows all.

Let’s see this thing with paint on it. The bodywork is just cool and clever. Come on let’s go!

Can’t wait to see it under glass.

That is a really great paint job, and bright work. Really nice model.

I can’t believe you pulled that off that well. That thing looks awesome! It was meant to be.

That is just gorgeous!

I think this build is super clever altogether! Don’t lose momentum, and keep going.

Dumb question, why can’t I find this kit on scale mates?
