['70 Chevrolet Impala]

Nice build anyways! 

Where does everyone get the master cylinders and such ??.

From an old man, you can't rebuild or improve memories. Consider gentle repairs before "fixing".

Man,that is soooo realistic.

Nice work so far. Is the plough scratch built or part of the kit?

Part of kit. I made chain and hoses .

[Final 2 builds,64 malibu,69r/t]

Thanks everyone.  I have been having extreme troubles with paint lately. I airbrushed the wagon 5 times. R/t gave up on craft paint, shot it with rustolium, it cam out like a firehose. Interior the paint either gummed or wouldn't cover. Craft or enamel, brushed or air...... that's why I say final. Unless they come out with level 4/5 70 chevelle, 69 gto or a scout 800 anyway.

A couple of nice builds. That 65 Malibu looks like a real grocery-getter from the suburbs. Pretty decent Mopar also, interior is really nice.

Thanks. I like to build them as oem or like we drove them.

[Vintage AMT's WIP thread.....]

What is the kit ?

[Truck bed underside paint suggestions]

I've used diluted iron oxide craft paint, steel wool soaked in vinegar or black wash. Always over flat black paint. My under glass posts show undersides.

[Airbrushing, paint screen, dilution]

While I do enjoy seeing everyone's builds that show me how inept I still am,I'm really here for HELP.

I've used air but with ink rarely with paints.

Use craft paints diluted 1:1 water. 20 lbs air. Plugs,spits or floods. Swirl in jar,in coats then fades to translucent to clean fairly quickly.

Bought a nylon coffee strainer,paint barely drains through it. Should it pour right through it ?

Had drill on high to mix, created massive bubbles. Assuming THAT caused issues with spray. Back on low ,just mix NOT blend.....

I tried alcohol once but the paint turned to gum ,so afraid of that unless I test with small amounts I guess. Any answers or opinions ??

Nice job !

Can it be built without the spoiler?  I had a 69 silver gto convertable I would love to build.

Is this thread in the wrong sub category? this is the truck category.

Sorry, I started it here because I was looking for the scout 800. 

[69 plymouth gtx]

Finished it, happy with my building but paint is still killing me. I like craft paint in airbrush but still learning the hard way. I ended up with this,rustoleum all surface spray. It came out like a fire hose,I had overspray 6 feet around me.

I think that's a great looking build, especially the weathering!

Thanks jeff

I am so glad I follow your thread. EXCELLENCE!!

I wanted to build this particular rig in the worst way. I almost picked it up last month.

Reading through your build diary, I realize I am no where near ready or capable of doing the big rigs yet.

Thanks for posting your progress,tips and information, it is all very informative!

I don't know!

Thanks,I just thought because you built one ,maybe you would know. I guess they are arm rests that AREN'T needed.

I think those may be the optional side window b-pillars for the '68 Road Runner kit..part 49 looks like an armrest for an interior door panel? 

Not armrests, front and rear have them molded in. The backs do have pins.

[What are these,amt 69 gtx]

2 fill pieces (think 21 on sprue. 50,51 look like left,right shaped. No mention in instructions and I don't see any place they could go. 

Any ideas
