I built this when the kit wuz first issued, as I recall l used Testors light blue enamel decanted and airbrushed on, it wuz a fairly close match to the real car.

The Uncertain T...one of my favorite models from my youth, mint kit.

From an original AMT Double Dragster kit circa early 60's. All metal finishes are Alclad.

STP Turbine Car...I Bought the kit sealed a few years ago, I recently opened it fer giggles, kit is mint. I bagged the parts and tires.

I don't usually do WIP postings but I had a moment so I snapped some pics. Chassis is done, gettin ready to finish the body.

The Car Craft Dream Rod...box is kinda rough but the kit is minty fresh.

The Cosma Ray...mint kit, sealed inside.

ZZR....collected a few of these over the years. All mint kits, boxes in are in various conditions. Gonna build one of em soon.

Not exactly, as far as I know Atlantis is not reissuing the Buick engine parts pack but you can use the Tommy Ivo Showboat 4 engine dragster engines as they are essentially the same and Norm Veber (Replicas and Miniatures Of Maryland) has the resin parts to build the Tommy Ivo engines as parts pack engines. As I recall, I got the Chrome Mylar from Michael's but that wuz a few years ago, it's not to thick, kinda like contact paper.

Built from vintage Revell Parts Packs and goodies from the parts box. Door has been "pinned" with fine metal wire to operate smoothly. Period Roth art on the bed cover. All metal finishes are Alclad, the firewall is cut from chrome Mylar

I like it.

As I recall the Nickel Grille shells on the "open" cars were optional.

It is also my understanding that Atlantis does not have the Bantam body tool.

Built outta the box from a mint, original kit. Finished with Testors paints and vintage Revell parts pack decals. Norm Veber cast up the tires for me to replace the kits plastic hating tires.

Back in 2009/2010 I volunteered at the Henry Ford Greenfield Village Antique Vehicles Garage in Dearborn Michigan. I worked on many antique cars, from routine maintenance to ground up restorations. One of the total restorations I did wuz a '27 T Phaeton, we had some difficulty deciding on a color(s) to paint the car so I built this model to illustrate my color choice for the car. After looking at my model it wuz agreed to paint the car to match the model. I don't recall the name of the maroon but I do remember that the color fer the wheels wuz called Wheat. AMT kit built outta the box.

Revell kit pretty much outta the box. All metal finishes are Alclad or Green Stuff world. Chassis is modified to improve stance.

Thank you fer yer comment. I mixed up some ModelMaster enamel to approximate the factory color.

I like it!

Built this fer my Father in 1978, replica of his first car. He told me the car wuz a low mileage "creampuff" when he got it.

Thank you fer yer comments. I built this some time ago but as I recall I used Fred Cady Ala Kart decals to create the black pleated areas, these decals have clear areas between each black "pleat". I first applied Bare metal Foil to the "molded in" pleats on the roof, running boards, and bed cover then applied the decals over the Bare Metal Foil. This gives the effect of having chrome piping on the "upholstered" areas of the body.

Monogram kit built when it wuz first issued in the 80's. Trunk interior wuz so nicely detailed it wuz a shame to cover it up...so I hinged the trunk lid. The model wuz displayed at the Old Guard Hobby Shop in Garden City Michigan for some time and unfortunately the lights in the display case washed out the color in the red graphics.

Built from a mint, sealed (with white tape) original kit with first issue decals. Built lotsa years ago using Testors paints with a pearl mixed clear coat. This model wuz pictured in Tim Boyd's book "Collecting Model Car and Truck Kits". Old decals were lotsa fun to get to lay down.

Had the kit's wheels plated.

Base coat/clear coat...then waxed.

AMT kit pretty much outta the box.
