Oh yeah, that Revell '40 Ford is why I'm no longer welcome on that other board.

Amt "40 Ford has been around since the early sixties. It has a few different versions and a bunch of reissues. The Revell "40 on the other hand is relatively new. It certainly has fewer issues with fit and flash and a lot more detail. So which one do YOU prefer, and why ?

Now if they'ed only do a '60

Had a club member put an early 392 HEMI in a Challenger.

Yes, or an earlier 265 from a '55 or '56 Chevy. Realize all small block Chevy V8s look the same on the outside. All the way up till the late '70's. Not that the engine in these kits was much to look at, pretty crude.

Yes indeed

Lots of good stuff here. Too bad we lost some photos.

Funny, I don't remember ever having that kit ('39 sedan) but i do still have the engine. Maybe a testament to AMT's versatility the manifold / carbs may have been from the HEMI kit.

Bob, that was a Pontiac, I'm pretty sure the one I'm thinking of was an Olds and it had two Four barrels, the Pontiac had three twos or six two barrels.

The first several AMT model car kits were 3 in 1 with a hot rod engine option along with the stock engine appropriate for the car. Here's a list from memory . just the optional engines in each kit : '32 Coupe - poor rendition of a Chevy small block '32 Roadster - Early HEMI '32 Vicky - 427 Ford FE '32 Phaeton - 427 Ford FE '36 Coupe - Pontiac V8 '39 / '40 two door sedan- ??? '40 Coupe - Buick Nailhead '40 Sedan Delivery - Buick Nailhead '32 Two Door sedan / XR6 - Custom Buick Nailhead Now, I do remember an Olds with two Four barrels, in something. Any ideas ?

Welcome to the modern Old age. Get some new knees next, mine are great.

Have you seen my stash ?

What NON stock parts come in these ? Wheels and tires? Speed parts ? Other goodies ?

Is there anything that would make the old AMT '40 Ford chassis a little better ? Getting away from the steel wheel wires, molded in single exhaust, etc. ?

What kits are there from Revell / Monogram for the 1940 Ford coupe / Convertible ?

Three "Nuts" ? Got a " dizzy" too.

Which song is the ONE song that most represents Hot Rodding ?

How about something for the ubiquitous AMT '65- '66 Mustang Coupe / Notchback with the terrible Promo chassis ?

No Kidding

Haven't tried it yet, AMT Alison
