Me too. I also get Runaway by Del Shannon going. https://youtu.be/0S13mP_pfEc?si=RXJcxCyTmTxvW7zQ

I know that it would never have been a good business move on amts part to keep the stock molds. In all honesty im glad they did something to them to keep them around, otherwise they would have just been lost to history.

Thanks man, I definitely know what you mean. A lot of the AMT annuals had this done to them when the tools were butchered, yes butchered not modified.

This is the amt 65 falcon from the cal drag combo kit. I have a love for falcons but do not appreciate what amt did to this kit. The frame is severely undersized, the interior is lacking detail, the front axle is not moved forward, and there is no firewall. I hope to improve most of these issues. The first thing I started with was making the frame bigger, using some plastic sheet on the side for this. I still need to add some on the back. I was also confused why amt thought that the interior tub was acceptable for the fire wall. So I decided to construct one out of evergreen sheet styrene. The front axle was also moved forward and the wheel well enlarged. I think this looks way better and more reasonably proportioned. Here's a scratch built oil pan as well. Thanks Elliot

25 miles of hiking later... Effigy mounds national monunment 75th anniversary patch set. Worth every mile.

This is the amt 65 falcon funny car from the cal drag combo. Something I always hated about this kit is how the front axle is in the stock position (maybe a little back as well). So I fixed that as well as lower it. The original chassis plate was severely undersized so I made it actually reached the edges of the body.

Nice work, the things you do with 3d printing is amazing!

But can't find

BTW the carbs were 4 double barrels on the real car, you have 4, 4 barrel carbs.

A steady hand and a sharp exacto you can get a good result with foil. Just make sure to burnish it so it sticks and doesn't move around on you. (Door handels, gas cap, and trim was done with BMF)

I built the current round 2 re-issued version of the mpc. I would not count on parts swaping easily, the mpc kit is designed rather interestingly. It probably could be done and I'm not doubting your skills.

A neighbor set of a m80 in a watermelon 8 ft away from 15 little kids. They all got splattered and chunks flew for 20 yards. It's a miracle nobody got hurt. I left just before he started setting off the BIG STUFF, don't want to be involved with stuff goes south.

Wow, nice suspension! That rad might be from the og release of the revell 67 chevelle pro street, it was molded in that color.

Thank you, that's basically what the whole cars feel was built upon.

That's why I said the cobra, I see it more of a sports car, especially the 289 version.
