Nice job on the multi-color paint..good clean build.

Thats really nice, I like that era of stockers.

It takes a little work and extra parts to get a box art result. The only kit help will be the decals which are pretty good quality. I didnt want to flatten the entire paint so I opted on light weathering from a weathering kit using the dirt and ash on the inside and outside. Tires are resin copies from the Pinto modified ,wheels are kit. Engine and chassis are straight kit except exhaust pipes. Interior is a simple scratch build and body was modified and dropped down. Paint was Tamiya Maroon and Deck Tan. Crash bars made from Evergreen plastic and scraps. Sculpting screen was used for the window mesh. Passenger window area opened wide,hood opened up and sides removed, door handles shaved off and replaced with cable, roof and cowl vent opened up.

The paint came out close to what I wanted to do. Im not sure which decal numbers to use, leaning towards the white #22 kit decals. The flathead is a snug fit with all cutting of frame and body.

I bought them both when they first came out before any reviews were out. The 32 Vic comes with 3 sets of decals for the race version. The coupe came with one sheet. I found it odd AMT called them 4 in 1 kits..

The wheels and flathead are in the box,but the pipes are scrap plastic rod and I did a mold from the Pinto modified tires and did a bunch in resin.

Started this one awhile ago to go along with my 32 vicky. Like the Vicky your on your own to make any thing close to the box art. I lowered the body, made a new interior. The only thing from the kit is the body,chassis,wheels and engine. Tires are resin copies I did. Colors Im thinking about a 2 tone Maroon and Tan.

Its from 1974 , never started. Crazy thing tho', instructions main picture shows windshield frame but no where else ,instructions build or box does not show one. Will trade for any unbuilt AWB kit..

Nice Showrod buggy?

Nice...the color works well with those decals..good job.

I have the early 60-61 Corvair,Falcon and Comet..you would be right in thinking they would have them like I did but no 4 lug. This is the actual 4 lug Im searching for but ot may be a pipe dream, Im thinking they were all generic 5 lug except for light trucks with 6. I have the original 62 Chevy HT and your correct , no detail. 4 small drops of epoxy will work then cast a few..thanks much for that info Mark..

Has anybody ever seen a 4 lug stock steel wheel in a kit? I've gone through 100's of parts box wheels and looked in kits like Corvairs, Comets , Pintos, Mustang II,Monza., Valiant..etc. If I have to fab one thats fine , I never really paid attention before, but is everything 5 lug?

This started out as the original AMT 3 in 1 1957 Thunderbird kit that someone started and was given to me by a member on this board Joe Phillips. The original builder had sanded all lines (doors,trunk and hood) and filled in with putty. Front and rear treatments were glued on and puttied also. The chassis was painted and hood was glued shut so I left it as a curbside The body and interior were never painted but body had some pretty deep scratches that needed a putty skim coat. After the body was sanded as smooth as it was going to be and primered , it got a few coats of Inca Gold metallic with a few coats of clear. I found the actual kit skirts and bubble headlights and grille. A scrap Sillouette kit donated the bubble top. Steering wheel,shifter,tires,hubcaps, scoops,spots,decals and taillights are parts box. Builders that did these styline customs in the 60's came up with some pretty wild builds. I was glad to save this one.

Thanks much butI have that part covered. All the other replies were helpful, I know the model companies used past kit parts on future kits, such as the Revell 22 double drag kit had the complete chassis assy for the Dodge Revellion . I was hoping to get lucky again.. Thanks all , Ken

These 2 questions are on the AMC 3 in 1 AMX kit. Question #1: Does the AMT and Johan kit share the funnycar kit parts? Question #2: what other AMT or Johan kit share that funnycar chassis?

Thank you.. I made resin copies from the Pinto modified kit.

Super nice build, I did a double take on the 1st picture.

Im not sure, but I am pretty sure they would have something close. I wouldnt look in the model area, this stuff is more for sculpting I believe.

Pm sent

Same here Phil, always a pleasure.

Thanks Charles, and yes that exhaust pipe does come in the '29 kit anlong with many other parts from the original issue Ala Kart, but not the intake. The stock intake / exhaust are 1 pc. Im sure you could modify something to work. These are other 29's that come with that pipe. 1st pic is original Ala Kart box.

Your usual eye for detail and craftsmanship , good job Izzy.

Wasnt that one of the model magazines cover car? That does sound familiar from awhile ago.

I started out making a drag version with double wammy engine and a chop top, but the more I looked at the chop-top glass I went the custom direction. The idea was to trim and file the roof so it would fit inside the glass. I can use clear or blue , still working on other thoughts.

Excelent work..
