  1. I was wondering that myself.
  2. Let me know when you get them cast Chris, I could use a pair for a resin wagon I have.
  3. Yes, that is the same as the AMT version . It was first released as a trophy serise kit in the mid '60s and has been re-released at least 4 times since. Very nice, detailed kit.
  4. Hood and other parts should fit. Back bumper and tail lights are completely different between the 2 door and 4 door though.
  5. AMT "Ala Cart" Could be the '60s one from the double kit with the '30 Ford Roadster or the new tooled kit. Also has been in most, if not all reissues of the AMT '29 Ford roadster.
  6. I was kinda skeptical when you said the color you were painting it but now that I see it, it looks really good on that car. Can't wait to see it finished.
  7. Thanks Chuck. I kinda like the look of the grille. Can't say the same fro the bumper though. And, yea, I wonder why MPC did those fenders like that. I has assumed it was to clear the sleeper unit on the RT truck but apparently it was like that before that truck was issued , so??
  8. Chuck, could you post up a couple pics of those parts? It would be interesting to see them, I never had that kit.
  9. Beautiful car Donn. Love the color, looks exactly like the darker aqua GM had that year.
  10. Love it !!
  11. Man ! Did that ever turn out great ! ?
  12. Thanks Phillippe.
  13. Beautiful car. Man, I gotta track one of those down !
  14. Thanks Dann
  15. Thanks, It's '67 Pontiac "Gulf turquoise" from Scale Finishes.
  16. That's a Zowee "Covered Draggin" They were smaller than regular Hot Wheels ,, about 1/2 the size and very simple construction, usually just a metal main chassis with wheels and a plastic detail part or two. Here's a link to some info. https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/subjects/zowees-series
  17. I can think of one thing that might have inspired it.
  18. looks good Mike.
  19. Cool. I have a spot for those cars. BTW, IF you haven't painted the hood yet you might want to correct it. It should have a crease up the center . Also the vents are all off slightly , like the hood's twisted. When I did the "mini me" of my car, I had to sand some and add some material to to both sides of the hood to center it properly.
  20. It's a cowl scoop, air comes in from the high pressure area at the base of the windshield. Opening the front makes no difference on the real thing and may in fact defeat the effect. But thanks for the comments.
  21. That's pretty cool Curtis. Looks nice and clean, an easy resto. That passenger side headlight looks like it came from a '64/'65 Thunderbird. IIRC, they both should be like the driver's side one.
  22. That sure looks great ! ?
  23. Ouch !
