Sadly, I don't, but you can see the instructions below. Oddly, the necessary custom front end pan is not specifically shown or called out in the instruction sheet, but you can see it on the box side illo. It comes up around the grille on the ends, i.e., the grille is narrower than the body. Thanks for looking! https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1961-1970/amt-1966-chevrolet-/

Original annual AMT '66 Vette roadster hood and hard top. Pretty hard to find these days. Original annual AMT '66 T-Bird convertible, with the custom "sports roadster" tonneau. The basic kit has been reissued many times but the tonneau has been missing from all of them, at least since the '80s "Prestige" issue. I want to build a full-custom sports roadster just like the one I built in 1966--but better, of course! (It even has the custom wheels I used in 1966 which also haven't been seen in decades, boo-yah!) The seller even threw in a "bonus surprise gift"--pretty cool! Original annual AMT '66 Impala body. That's not primer, it's some kind of glossy gray that should wash off with a swim in Lake Purple. Last year I bought one of the modified dirt tracker Impalas with the plan to get it back as close to stock as possible and make a cruiser or street freak of it, but with this body (very reasonably priced), not worth the effort. Turns out I also have an original '66 custom grille, which opens the possibility of building the dirt-track body into a full custom. I don't have ANY of the other '66 custom parts--I guess it's time to start watching eBay for them.

The PM system won't work for me here for some reason. Email me at: SnakeACP45 at aol dot com Thanks!

I almost never watch any TV live anymore. I record anything I want to see, and fast-forward through the commercials completely later. The one bugging me is on the radio. And it's on apparently every station. By the time I get up and get to the radio, the annoying commercial has played. I wouldn't mind hearing it a couple times a day, but four or five times EVERY HOUR? Wretched excess.

Xingu, why not just lock it instead of deleting it? Scott hasn't offered any trades, others are soliciting HIM. There are many great pics here that a lot of us are enjoying. Thanks!

Yes, it's hilarious the first time. The second time, not so much. By the fifth or sixth viewing it starts to get on the nerves. I still like the clogging one, though.

Me too. I once drove a couple hours to a car show where they were also having a model car contest, with "popular vote" judging. The judging/voting was supposed to begin at noon, I was told, and entries would be accepted until then. I arrived about 11:30 to find dozens of show-goers in the model area, voting already. I didn't even bother to get my stuff out of the car.

No jury would have convicted you!

The fact of the matter is, back in the '70s, both AMT and Monogram gave us kits of stuff that was even weirder, stranger, uglier, and more bizarre! And SOME of us actually BOUGHT them! You know who you are!

Looks like someone sprayed it with a double treatment of Car Enthusiast Repellent.

No, that's a TV commercial. That one's kinda cute. I'm talking about the radio version of a different TV commercial.

To paraphrase Chevy Chase in Deal of the Century, "I wouldn't drive that to a pig's bris."

Having heard it about 800 times in the last two weeks, I'm Officially Sick Of GEICO's "Savage dance moves" radio commercial.

According to the SDS, it's isopropyl alcohol (70-80%) with propane and N-butane. I'd imagine you could prep your plastic just as well with regular iso alcohol at 1/10 the price (and I often do). But hey that's just me, I'm cheap. http://www.hrpdealer.com/sds/szx90059.pdf

You could be right. I was looking mainly at the triple taillights. Now I see it might not be big enough to be an Impala.

The empty boxes alone could bring close to $500 on eBay! (Sold one at a time, not as a lot.) (Well, maybe.)

First pic, lower right corner, the blue one.

Boy, I'd love to be the friend in that scenario!

Oh yeah, I see the Chevelle wagon now. In looking for it I also spotted a pre-'66 Valiant, too. And that Buick hardtop would be interesting if it's a '65.

You DID see where I said it was a phantom and a tribute, didn't you? None of the Yenkos had anything other than black interiors, either, AFAIK.

WOW! Hard to make them all out. I spotted quite a few "common" ones not worth much, but do see a '65-66 Barracuda, a '65 Impala convertible, a '65 Olds, '64-'65 T-Bird, '65-'66 Mustang convertible, and probably an AMT '65-'66 Mustang fastback. I'm sure there are some other gems hiding in there, too. Good luck!

There's three minutes of my life I'll never get back.

IF Yenko had built a '69 S/C 427 Camaro with the RS package and white houndstooth interior, it would have looked like this. VERY well done "phantom" tribute.

I believe I've read that she answered phone, instead of "Hello," with "What fresh Hell is this?" I've been tempted many times to do the same thing. Or at least just pick it up and yell "WHAT??!"
