Yeah, might be expensive, but I have a guy. Never would I ever trust some place like west music, they charge out the nose.

Love to see your back on this one! I like the trim.

Had a little oopsie during marching band practice, slipped down a wet hill. Not proud of it, the thing was $100 and had a lot of tarnish, but at least it was straight.

Whelp, I did something. I was looking at Steven Guthmiller's tips and technique for weathering chassis. I think it turned out really good, the grime on the transmission really pleased be because they usualy always have a layer of grime. This is exactly what I was going for, some guys weekend car, he cleans the body, engine bay, and interior but not the chassis. Thanks Elliot

Thats a pretty good looking color, I like your compromize.

Mine is from the same exact batch, how funny.

This is looking good! IMHO lowering the grille would be cooler because the partial channel is killer.

Ive never resin cast but I have heard that imbeding pice of hard wire through them when you cast them will make it stronger. Also glad that you decided to get back in this one.

Or you could do a 2 tone, the lower half with ground effect one color (also fix your bad bumper paint). And the rest factory color. Like this.

Thanks, I used some solid core 12 guage wire.

Wow, that paint polished out nice!

Nice work on this. I accidentally came across this build on the Traditional Rod and Kustom in Scale forum, bit of a spoiler but oh well.

I got some more work done to the galaxie theses past couple of weeks. The front suspension on this car as a result of the metal axle was not fully represented and cut off. So I took the dremmel to them and chopped them off. I stole the lower a arm from the revell 57 ford wagon, they are pretty much the same on the real cars. Holes were also drilled for the new sway bar. Being as this car is supposed t be "hot rodded" I couldn't leave the stock exost, especially with the 4 into 1 headers. First thing I did was to chop off the original muflers, then filled the space with some evergreen flat stock. I also carved slots in the stock exost for some custom mufflers from the parts box. Then to get from the rear axle to the bumper I just used some copper wire that was laying around in the shop. Something cool I noticed about this car are the mold ingravings on the chassis and underside of the body. On the resess for the fuel tank you can see that Ertl went in and machined the tooling flat and added their own logo. And on the underside of the body just behind the rear window you can see the original amt engraving. Then I got it all painted in semi gloss black and picked details out with different metal paints from testors. The body was also shot with primer and I was pleased to find out that my new tamiya paint stand fit perfectly in my dehydrator . Now it was time to move on to the interior. One thing i thought would be cool would be to make a custom hurst t handel shifter. Decided to go with a black interior, red would have been cool but it probably wouldnt go well with dark metalic blue. There was a lot of chrome to do in this kit but with some help of the new fusionfirm chrome on the dash it made it less intimidating. Also couldn't resist a moch up. Thanks for looking everyone! Elliot

I think im liking it!

Little bit of an update. I couldn't resist doing some moch-up's. The body is in primer awaiting the paint to show up. Also got the tires painted with some tamiya rubber black, now the wheels are glued in their permanent location. The grille and rear bumper were painted in fusionfirm chrome and the front bumer metalic silver. Thanks for looking! Elliot

I will have to agree.

Man that looks good! With the movie back on Netflix I may have to watch it for the 100th time🤣.

Looks absolutely amazing, spot on!

That color looks smoooooth!

Nice work on this! I recently bought an amt 63 tbird annual and hope to do this chassis swap on it. I would also help because the windshield frame is gone.

Do it, I think it would look good

Could use mudflaps

Neeto! Steering rack looks great.
