Test this, and report back to us. I'm taking bets, total fail.

Forty-Mine: 49 Ford & Probe greenhouse mash-up
89AKurt replied to Claude Thibodeau's topic in Model Cars
Very well done! -
LOL it certainly was. I started looking at resuming my Paris-Dakar 959, which become a cluster-you-know-what, one reason because it's a real car, needs to be representative and not made up. I should be able to finish it, you know?

Thank you!

Please don't taunt me to engage in this discussion! So much to say, so little time. Wonder when our plastic models will be banned? White metal casting is already an issue if you wish to be legit.

Was it the later kit, with an engine? I have most of my models, some in the junkyard. This needed an alternator. I've had one in the parts box for decades, started with cutting off the pulley side, then adding a scrounged electronic device gear for the fan portion, and another scrounged thing that looks too cool to not use. I punched out the aluminum pulley faces, a photo-etch screw head added. Made the mount out of aluminum printing plate, I know it could have bolt heads, and adjustable mount for the alternator, but it wouldn't really been visible. Made it more of a challenge gluing in place *after* everything else has been installed, like a ship in a bottle.

Thank you for this review, and close-up pictures. If this was something I *really* wanted, would add to my collection. He has another subject I will get when he gets around to it. I'm on the same page regarding priorities, been thinking about dredging up a WIP. Again, thanks. -
AWESOME! Thank you. I should be able to trade what I don't want for something......

Thank you! Good, that's what this forum is about, get models built! The 904 took only 55 years for coming to life.

Sweet! I saw that on his Fakebook page, can you do a review?

It was approaching limo proportions. That's why I added the Indy nose and tacked on the license plate that way. Maybe I should have painted yellow.

Looks like perfect workmanship to me! I like the back tires, that's what they used in the day; what are they?

What the pen is pointed to, the resin emblems. So I can do a '69 like my previous truck, and now my current '68. Wonder if there are photo-etch CHEVROLET letters for the hood?

Calling this 99% DONE! The last detail will be the lug nuts. I will post a new topic in the Under Glass section. I'm also not happy with these photos, need to learn how to use the Nikon camera. I'm about 90% satisfied, now that it's together I see the paint job is inconsistent. Today was my birthday, so completing a model was more satisfying than getting a new kit, have about 300 years worth as it is.

I've been using colored craft paper from Hobby Lobby or Micheals. It's more for me, than winning at contests where the more work you do, the better chance you have. Seems silly to spend so much money and time putting on photo-etch and machined aluminum parts on engines, while ignoring other parts of the car.

I never got a response back from Silver State Classic race about door number PDF. Checked out the Big Bend Open Road Race, they don't seem to have an official plaque, just a simple white rectangle with numbers, no sponsor logo to deal with, so I might just do that!

One of my favorite subjects, so glad AMT did a good job making that kit. Tastefully done, patina not overdone, love the color!
