    Wow, that's sweet! Can't wait to see it finished. Hmmm, That reminds me I have a shoe-box kicking around somewhere I did many years ago. Well,time to go digging again.

    I built this way back when the reissue came out. About the only things I added were the exhaust tips and spinners to the wheels.

    I don't recall the color name but I want to say it was a Tamiya paint. I could be wrong. All I know is that it kinda lost it's shine over the past couple of years. So I used Future applied with a good brush and was very happy with the results. It's not a shinny as some of the cars I've seen here but I'm happy with the old school look. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking and I will see some of you at NNL East.

    Happy Modeling.

    Bernie :rolleyes:

    i'ld love to build a model of my 78 ltd ll. it woul be simple to set up as a retro kit since the chassis use for the starsky torino is the exact same chassis under the ltd ll, cougar, t-bird. all we really need is the external stuff...body ,glass, chrome.

    I like your LTD. My Cougar looks a lot like that. I wish I had the time and money to do it over again. I did pick up a resin cast of a 76 T-Bird NASCAR body at NNL East a couple of years ago but it would take a lot of casting and scratch building to change to a 77 Cougar.

    Thanks for the info guy's. About the closest I had came to this was a early T-Bird kit in about 1/20th scale. I don't recall who put it out though. Oh and by the way if anybody know of someone interested in a 77 XR-7 please let me know. I had restored it about 20 years ago and then about 6 years ago I had lost my storage so the car is outside and you know what happens to them then. Anyway, it would need a bit of TLC but when finished it could be a sharp cruiser again.

    Bernie :P

    This started out as the AMT 57 Corvette Street Machine but I had wanted to do something different with it. So, after digging through part box after part box I had enough to go with. It's not super detailed or maybe not even finished in the eyes of some but I had a blast building it just the same. I added a single loop roll bar to protect the think box along with tires and wheels from AMT's 56 Ford up front with steelies bringing up the rear. I also added a Moon tank up front, lap belts, some tire residue on the rear quarters from doing massive burn outs and a little BMF to the cove molding's. And there you have it. A simple but fun build. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking and happy modeling.

    These are some pictures of the AMT 57 Chevy I built last year. I used just about everything from the kit with the exception of the lancer caps. When I first started it I was really gun-ho but that soon died down. I wasn't to please with the way it was coming out but, a good friend of mine twisted my arm to continue with the build. I must say, I happy he did. It's not the best thing I've built but it has a old look to it which I rather like. Anyway enough with the chat and on with the pictures.

    Thanks for looking and happy modeling.

    Heavy Chevy

    Hey everybody. Today I'm posting a few pictures of a 55 Chevy I had built awhile back. It's pretty much out of the box. I've only added the hanging license plate, air dam, moon tank, aluminum exhaust tips and a tonneau cover over the rear seating area.

    Thanks for looking and happy modeling

    And this is the AMT 61 Ford Galaxy. This is also a reissue from not to long ago. This is pretty much out of the box with only minor changes. The wheels and tires are from a die cast kit (Don't recall which on though) and metal exhaust tips. Oh and I modified the taillight bezels using the custom ones from the kit but cutting away the stock bezels and gluing the custom ones in their place. And that's pretty much it.

    Once again thanks for looking.

    Well as asked I did find enough time to take a few more pictures tonight. Sorry about the quality of them. I was going to take them outside but it was way to windy. This is the AMT 60 Ford I had built back when the kit was first reissued. I always wanted a car like this but, for now this will have to do. About the only things I have done with this car is add the fat whites and spinner caps, dice on the mirror, blue dot taillights and, aluminum exhaust. Hope you like it. I'll send along some pictures of the 61 next.

    Thanks and happy modeling.
