Super clean, this must be the finest AMT 39-40 Ford ever, sharp.

There is a build somewhere online featuring a 1937 Chevrolet coupe with a chopped roof from AMT's 3 window 1936 Ford. I seem to recall that it was jet-powered, but regardless of the propulsion, the Ford roof was a perfect fit.

My tip is to hold a piece of paper inside the body and draw the outline of the opening, cut it out, and place it on the iPhone screen. You should get an idea of whether the proportions are correct. Pictures are difficult; few are accurate representations, and many product images are manipulated.

Nice build. It's cool to build something based on a nearly 60-year-old magazine; it shows the significance of the hobby.

Hello Tim Yes, that's exactly what I meant, but you put it better. Do you know if there is a list, newspaper article, etc. about these kits as you wrote ”mid-to-late 1990s AMT-Ertl kits designed and engineered by John Mueller, Dave Carlock, and the team there” ? AMT has had its ups and downs, but during this period they seem to have made an extra effort.

Very nicely built, you have taken advantage of this kit's fantastic design and overcome some well-known difficulties (?). This kit and a few contemporaries are truly top-notch, which is easy to overlook.

Undoubtedly one of the absolute nicest cars made. A bit of a bummer to leave the party before the fun started, the Boxster and Cayman have gone out of production and are to be replaced by two electric models, the manual Boxster and Cayman are rising in price after decades of the epithet as ladies hairdresser cars. All Boxster and Cayman were assembled in Finland(even US sold ??) and the quality of all their cars is impeccable.

It turned out great, very inspiring.

See my q a few days ago regarding AMT 77 + MPC 79 Chevrolet Nova kitbash. I think think think another Nova like Revell's 69 and sub frame and front end from a Camaro is a way to build a detailed Nova out of MPC's 79 Nova.

Thanks Mark and 1972coronet. //U

Yes, but that project stopped for several reasons that could be summarized in the phrase, I'll continue on this one when the risk of making a mistake is significantly reduced (read stressful time). I'm almost there so I can start building on the 34 again. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/187992-ford-34-a-street-hot-rod-who-did-not-reach-the-finish-line/

My helper, he will be replaced by a brother filed out of aluminum sheet and more precise joints. It's really optional but if it's a project that I spend many many hours on, it makes sense.

QUESTION: HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU GLUED THE ENGINE IN PLACE AND THEN FOUND THE DRIVE SHAFT SITTING ON THE BENCH WITH A BIG SMILE ON IT'S FACE? Many times, you are not alone. My consolation is that it is a curbside.

Round2 will soon release AMT's 1976 Chevrolet Nova, Much has been written about that body while MPC's 1979 Chevrolet Nova has its drawbacks. In short, is there anyone who combined these kits ? The MPC body with AMT chassis, interior and grill with headlights.

Build of the year! I really like the raw expression that the slightly matte body gives, race cars were really raw in the past. I accidentally posted my praise in the build thread so I corrected it by posting here.

Revell 54 Chevrolet, MPC's CJ5 Jeep has axe and shovel, the shovel is very nice but the axe is gigantic.

Impressive wood painting. I really like the stance of the car, I’m in a non dropped period.

Have you tried dipping it in water, putting it in a plastic bag and then into the freezer ? Over and over again, if you're lucky, water will get into the joints and the tube glue will crack. I have managed to get the windshield off and get the parts of an engine out of an old kit.

Nice build that I follow as I have one started on the shelf. Incredibly nice cats, we are aiming for one or two Ragdolls in the future.

Incredibly nice, I had to look longer before I believed you that it is AMT's classic kit.

Very balanced, very good.

Nice build, I really like the combination of molded custom and blower.

Screenshot from this thread, ironic that this particular ad pops up. Regardless of the question of value, to build or not, a reasonable stash has value in itself because you never know what will happen and a reasonable stash with some spread stimulates creativity. In short, good buy and disregard the contemporary fixation on value and build or kit bash if you want and need to.
