Fantastic job! Love the color!

Absolutely sick build man! Outstanding!

Any updates on this? Are these items still available?

I'm interested as well... In fact, does anyone know where there are any aftermarket resin/photoetch parts for the AMT 69GTX/68RR?

Gorgeous work!

That looks fantastic! Care to share any additional details? What brand and color of paint did you use, and are the stripes painted or decals? Would like to get a set of white stripes myself...

Welcome Curtis! Good to have you here!

Are these folks no longer in business?

Welcome to the forum Scott! Nice work on those! I'm especially intrigued by the Ford pickup! What kit is that and what all did you do to it?

Right now...it's this. If I could just get my hands on a Cobra Daytona Coupe....or two.

Wow.. Thats...Not. Cool.

Welcome! And gorgeous paint work!

Thanks so much! I'm stalled on it at the moment for a couple of reasons.. One being a suitable powerplant. I definitely like the look of the Shotgun Intake, but I want something along the lines of a modern EFI 429 or bigger, but totally doable in 1:1. I'll have to re-measure, but if I recall correctly, the AMT Edsel's engine bay (as it is molded) is actually quite 'cramped' for anything bigger than say a scaled 302/351. But I really want to retain the 'stock' engine bay appearance. My modified 'Cowl Induction' Edsel hood got damaged during a house move. Probably fixable, but would be much easier just to start over with a new hood. Need a source for the hood without having to buy an all new kit. Not sure how I'm going to tackle the interior aft of the doors. Thought about hinging the doors, but that would be a tremendous amount of challenging work from my perspective. As far as the 'bed' area... Adding additional seating? I also thought about possibly a nice wood floor from the trailing edge of the door sills back, mimicking the the panels on the exterior. But, at that point, I'm venturing into uncharted territory, hence my hesitation. The chassis pan has already been modified. I made cut outs for the NASCAR style large oval shaped,single-tube exhausts that will exit through the side of the car in front of the rear wheels. Prob going to be using either brass or aluminum tubing. Most of you will probably recognize the bright green parts I used from the 67 Chevelle "Max Rat" Pro-street, rear end and 4-link. The plan is to have IFS with coil-overs and massive disk brakes all the way around as well.

Thank you for the warm welcome!

@Rattlecan Dan @Bainford Thanks so much for the warm welcome! Looking forward to making some friends here and (hopefully) inspire a person or two. 😁

I *believe* it was made by Hendrix Manufacturing. But from what I have gathered through searching, they are no longer in business.

Thank you all very much for the warm welcome!

Very nice! Now I have something else on my 'to do' list... Thanks for the inspiration!

Welcome Bill! As a former truck driver, I say this very loosely.. *may* want to build a somewhat modern semi-truck..but not anytime soon LOL. I will say though that building a detailed version of the BJ McKay KW COE would definitely be something I would be interested in if the kit was priced right.. https://www.tenfourmagazine.com/content/2024/03/truckapedia/the-most-iconic-kenworth/

Welcome to the forum Charles!

Welcome to the forum Chasten!!

Very nice!! I need to restock my collection of these I used to have. Dang me.

@JP Models Absolutely stunning work! I actually have this exact build in the queue once I get my workspace set up and have all the needed items to get started. Thank you very much for mentioning the issues you had and how best to rectify them. Did you happen to share a WIP thread on it?
