I love messin’ with these AMT ‘36 Fords!😈

Babe could also refer to a famous baseball player or a famous talking piglet.

So how’s it working out? Would it really go up to 150 psi?

bebebebebebebebebebebebebebebe went the smoke alarm.

Reason is the first line of defence for those who do not wish to be emotionally manipulated.

I was unaware of this engine. Here’s some interesting information on it. https://rodandstyle.com/blogs/rod-and-style-tech/ford-v8-60?

It’s a model…you can do anything you like to it.🙂

Just a few pics from two nearby Sunday car shows.

Is the “Tamiya” lacquer thinner weak enough that it won’t melt the styrene like generic LT will?

It is looking great Urs!👍 I would not have the patience for all that decal work.😬

I think they’ve been running amok all over this forum!😬

My wife thinks I have more models than I will ever build, and she might be right? That said, she has never complained about me buying more…she just rolls her eyes and shakes her head. She has three guitars and two amps and….so we each have our hobbies. We have no kids to bequeath anything to, so our motto is: we can’t take it with us and the cheque to the undertaker should bounce.😜 I only have around a hundred kits and plan to build them all except for the ones I bought as possible parts donors, so I better get busy.😳

You’re only a short drive from Winnipeg….I’ll come and pick ‘em up.🤪

Nice! That maroon looks great on anything.👍

I love these kits. They aren’t great so I don’t mind trying heavy modifications!🤪 If you go with the V12, I am for sure following!😈

Vallejo 71.317 light blue is pretty darn close to your buddys color in case you need another option.

Heres a link to a YouTube build of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiz0BJnEqDw

Nice start David. Engine looks fabulous!😎

Do you have a dremel or similar rotary tool? Files will work, but a good quality set of burrs will make short work of that flash.

Welcome to the forums Andria. You will find everyone here helpful and courteous.

You’re welcome. Apparently the box art was corrected at some point. I don’t know if it ever contained F250 parts? My kit has the proper 1/2 ton front suspension. As in coil springs instead of leafs.

Cool project!👍 Are you planning on shortening it up any?😈 Chevy did build 2 door Chevelle wagons. https://www.curbsideclassic.com/curbside-classics-american/1964-chevelle-300-2-door-station-wagon-it-should-have-been-called-nomad-why-did-they-build-these-anyway/

The kit I have has 5 lug rims and the box art shows five lugs also. Kit #1230. Edit: It also has the upper and lower trim molded in, if that is what you’re looking for. It should be relatively easy to shorten the box and frame.

I’ve wasted more masking tape and Bare Metal Foil by trying to be frugal than if I had just cut an obviously oversized piece in the first place.
