My version of the AMT 1929 Ford Model A Mod Rod Kit. I did both the stock and custom versions using the parts available in the kit. The only variation was that I used the engine from the AMT 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery kit as it looked less toy-like. The stock version is airbrushed in Apple Barrel Laguna Blue, and the fenders and running boards in Anita's Glossy Black. I used Decoart Duraclear Gloss Varnish for the clear, but the new bottle didn't mix well and I had to save it with a few coats of Createx UVLS 4050 on top of that. I used Apple Barrel Khaki, Honey Brown, and Nutmeg Brown for the interior, and Sunny Day for the wheels. This one was done box stock, and while some of the parts were a bit fiddly it generally went together ok. The custom version is airbrushed in Createx Pearl Plum with Apple Barrel Granite Gray and Elephant Gray for the interior. It's cleared with Createx UVLS 4050 Clear and wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. I did add spark plug wires along with the '40 Ford's spare engine to this one, but everything else is from the box. There is an extra hood and truck bed, and just needs the nose piece to build the Ala Kart. This one was a little trickier for me, and pretty much fought me every step of the way except for the painting process. This kit really shows it's age, but in the end builds a couple of pretty decent cars, and gives you options to build lots of variations of the car. Thanks for looking!!

Thanks Carl, it is testing my patience though, lol. Those are the kit taillights. Thankfully they look kinda cool as I don't really have much to choose from in the spare parts box.

More done on the Mod Rod Hot Rod. The instructions showed to mount the taillights onto the top of the rear fender for this version. I didn't a\want to do that, so I drilled a hole into the bottom of the taillights and inserted a copper wire to use as a pin. I drilled holes into the sides of the fenders then pinned the taillight into the hole. It's not glued yet, but I think it looks pretty cool. I did the same to the headlights, and finished the interior. The shifter is a sewing needle that I heated and bent to shape.

Paint looks great, nicely done!

Nicely done, great color choice!

It turned out great, nicely done!

Thanks everyone!

I got the decals applied on the Mod Rod today. I also got the headlights, taillights, and front and rear nerf bars ready to be installed, and the frame glued to the fender assembly.

I figure it's about time to get back to work on the Mod Rod Hot Rod. I got the body parts wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. I taped off and painted the running boards, and painted the 'straps" on the fuel tank in Molotow Chrome.

Thanks guys!

Thank you Mario. Thanks Roger.

Probably hanging out on a container ship just off the coast of California for a couple of months.

Thanks a lot guys!

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated!

Very good looking old Ford!

My version of AMT's 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-350, I'm calling "The Great Pumpkin". Paint is Createx Pearl Tangerine sprayed over Anita's Galvanized Tin basecoat. The stripes are Decoart Extreme Sheen Obsidian with some Delta Black mixed in. It's cleared with Createx UVLS 4050 Gloss clear, wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. The interior is black craft paint, the chassis is a mixture of craft paints, as is the engine. I used Pegasus 19 and 23 inch Hella's for the wheels, and sprayed Tamiya Clear Orange on the Off The Sprue machined aluminum air cleaner. I added plug wires and door locks for extra detail, and Bare Metal Foil was used for the trim. It's a pretty nice kit overall, as it's mostly the same as the AMT 1967 Ford Mustang GT Fastback except for the front and rear ends.

Very nice!

Nice work!

Very nicely done! Cool color!

Very nice! Excellent job!
