Really? Oh they must have been from the parts bin and I confused them with revell 55 chevy wheels?. Even if there from the amt 57 chevy there good wheels.

The revell 55 chevy (one with opening doors and trunk) has some nice ones.

Before even looking at your response i had the exactly same idea. Great mind think alike.

I actually just found this topic on Model King. Model Kings not a company he's a person named Dave Burkett. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/87773-model-king/

Good question. Looks like whatever it was did Revell and AMT. A double agent !

Wow that's a sharp? looking hot rod!

Cool project! Thats my favorite year of the stacked headlight galaxie. Speaking of young guys with 65 galaxies that was my grandfather's first car. And also the first car he wrecked (if it's ok with you I'll get some pictures later).

Amazing rockin' little roadster.

Do you have a WIP on this project?

Thanks for the advice. This was just an idea I had. I won't try this till I've had a little more practice.

Got some more work done last night. Glued the interior together and did some work on the dash. I printed out some gauge and cutthem out then put them in place with some future floor polish. The last thing to do is to installed the tach when I installed the interior. These are the reference photos i used courtesy of this topic https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/179770-grumpys-toy-ix-72-vega-reference-photos/ The gauges are courtesy Yeah Nah he posted some amazing pdf's of gauge's, here's a link to the topic. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/187007-round-instrument-panel-gauges-to-print/ Thanks for looking and comments are much appreciate.

Wow that looks amazing! I've wanted to this with the amt 64 galaxie now I just need a starliner kit.

Nice start and yes this is the right] place to post it. Reminds me of the roadkill impala.

Got some new superglue.

Yeah me to it's better proportioned than the badman. Also a hard top has less strength than a post car.

Hello everyone. As I'm working on finding bumpers for my sox and martin cuda I decided to start this project. I started it last week and got to work on cleaning up the body. I then worked on the engine and put a different. I decided to replace the tunnel ram intake the kit came with one that would be better suited for a hemi or a ford because of the equally spaced exhaust ports. I also cut out the inner fenders on the front because on the real car they were flat and not round. I then made the flat sheets to go on the inner fenders because they would be more accurate. I was deciding on whether or not I wanted to make the finder well headers that the car has, but I am now leaning towards just using the kit ones and just going for the flat inner fenders. i also sanded down the detail on the fire wall and filled in the gaps. I then started working on the roll cage and added a crossbar in the back because that is what the real car had. I just used some straightened out paper clip for this. Then I threw some black paint on it. I started to add some paint to the chassis. Painted it flat black and accented the rear differential and front suspension with glass black paint. Lastly i painted the interior, dash, and seats. I shaved all the detail off the dash and painted it silver because who needs a radio on a race car?. Then painted the intirior tub silver and added a shifter. And threw some semi-gloss black on the seats. Thanks for looking folks! Critiques and comments are welcome. FMC66

Amazing traditional style roadster! Nice job on the color combo to.

Now that will be a chore. Great idea with the fender flares.

Amazing work on that interior. ?

Nice looks like your Walmart carrys model kits!

Mabey so, but this is a Sox and Martin car.

Awesome gasser/ awb funny car. I like the green. And I believe it's the new release of the AMT 65 chevy 2 nova awb.

Oh you were saying you used 3 different kits to kit bash. I thought you ment you used 3 of the AMT caliente bodys, my bad ?. (Sorry for the miss understanding I read it wrong). Yep using those 3 kits is probably going to get you the bestreplica of that car.

Awesome job. Why 3 bodys?

Nice original interior. My dad's first car a 1966 falcon has it's original intirior. Besides the cracks in the drivers seat everything is practicly mint (before him getting it in high school it was a preachers car with a straight 6). Now it's got a 289.
