Looks to be hardtop, add some convt. doglegs and narrow the rear seat to fit between them and you'd be in business. I didn't see the interior kit in his 2010 catalog, but I only skimmed over it quickly and could have missed it. And thanks Lyle, for posting those here for others to see.

Couldn't agree more. I find myself smilin' and grinnin' a lot when I build monster kits, some showrods cause this too. ...you've got me ear to ear with the changes you've made. Too cool

I like the way those Matadors are going

Galaxie is most definitely releasing the 46-48 coupe in the near future. Gary Schmidt brought a built up to Milwaukee NNL last April, looks good too. He said it was the 3rd test shot he had received and they want to make sure everything is right. They are also making some other minor changes to the molds to make them more builder friendly.

No matter how you spent it, after hours of fun and sun, a stop for ice cream is the perfect way to cap your day. http://s202.photobuc...ream/?start=all

I'm digging those Argentina Ramblers. Yep Casey, those are 66 Galaxie parts, newest reissue I believe. Very cool wheels and look good on everything I have tried them on. Here's the closest shot I have of them.

Here's a few of the AMC projects I have going. The first is my longest running project, started around 1990. Only thing from plastic Kenosha is the body, the rest is Callaway Corvette Speedster with a twin turbo ZR-1 engine and wheels/tires from a 66 Chevelle wagon. Stalled out when I decided it should be AMC powered with twin turbo's...that's as far as I got with that idea and there she sits. My 66 Rambler Cross Country wagon. In the sprit of the community build I'll enter this one cuz it just needs some final details to call it finished. The boat was borrowed from another build and I plan to scratchbuild a pop-up camper for behind this one someday. Sorry bout the crappy pic. 70 AMX- pieced together from a ebay built-up, interior tub from a 69 AMX kit, and a Modelhaus 70 conversion kit to replace the missing hood and front bumper. I need to get the bumpers rechromed, then this one will hit the bench. The 1/43rd '69 in the background will get a scratchbuilt hoodscoop, Mags /slicks, and a R/W/B paint job to make a Hurst SS AMX. also on deck is this Marlin. It's a nice mint kit and will get some degree of wiring and plumbing when I finally get around to it. Not sure I'll go with those wheels and tires, but I think they look good on there. 71 AMX will get built curbside with Twin Canopy vinyl top, T-stripe and Machine wheels. Luckily the chunk of missing hood was in the box when it arrived at my door. Thanks for looking. Hope I didn't take too much space

I built Mr Gasser a couple of years ago straight outta the box.. Monster kits are great and I can't wait to see yours finished.

I'm building this alongside my 67 convertible Camaro and using up another Revell 69 Camaro kit in the process.This one has a Dana hood I got from Time Machine Resin 5 or 6 years ago, I figured it's about time I build a Dana/Nickey around it. It will get some speed parts and 70's custom paint along the way. Here goes Got a good stance with the 69 Camaro chassis, Revell big n little Blue Streaks and some Modelhaus Daisy wheels. Interior consist's of a 69 Z-28 tub and console, 69 pace car door panels and the AMT 68 seats and dash. It should make for a accurate 68 custom/deluxe interior with a few mods to make it come together. Ignore the primed rear seat it's for my 67 convt. and the 68 kit tub is in the background waiting to have it's rear seat cut loose. The firewall is 69 kit unmodified, and the fenderwells/firewall were cut from the 68 body to make room for the 69 parts. The fit of the 69 chassis still floors me. A little trim on the front corners to fit the splash pan, and even less work to get the rear valence panel to fit. Otherwise it locks into the body real nice. That's all for now, thanks for looking.

I got a dusting of primer on the A-pillars and windshield frame. I'm pretty happy how it's going, but it will need some final finessing before I can move on and chop off the roof. I'm trying a different direction with the seats. The 67 kit seat pattern is almost right, but the seatbacks are grossly misshapen. When raiding a revell 69 z28 for the chassis and drivetrain on my 68 Nickey project (to be posted later), I noticed the seat pattern might be good start for the 67 seats and the general shape is WAY better. Here the area are marked for mods. Mud Kit 67 seats in rear, modified 69 in the front....notice the strip around the pleated area that is missing on the 67 seats, this will be a white stripe when painted....... way better......now to remove the headrest Headrest's are gone. Some final details to fix up on the fronts and make the rear seat fit. Then it's on to the dash and doorpanels.

I had to leave early the day we did the water, I don't recall how they did it. I believe a couple of the guys in the club took it up there, I was probably working that weekend. Nothing screams summer like a cool dessert.......anyone like ice cream??? I'll try to serve some up tomorrow

I truly don't know...., magic???

Thanks guys. There's a few more pics here http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa33/burninrob6/WAM%2005%20Surfboard/?start=all

I lowered my Astro by moving the hinges up. First I lengthened the grooves in the grill, then I found some rectangular tubing that the hinge would tightly fit into, and glued it into the slots in the grille. I didn't glue the hinge into the tubing so the cab would be removable and wouldn't fall off when tilted. I didn't make any measurements just eyeballed. Here's a pic if it helps.

Here's the club diorama we built between January and April 2005. I think it fits this thread well. Some outside shots

Nice work on your GT Casey. I have been planning a build of that for a few years now. Collecting pics, parts, and whatnot. My plan was to use the Gremlin modified body(which I have 2 of....just in case ) It seems very close the GT's rear shape. I haven't found any interior pics yet either, which has stalled my starting on this project. If you find any please post them. Do you go to Milwaukee NNL??? If so please bring your build next year(finished or not), I would really like to see that one in person. Note top color here. IIRC I read that the top was painted black at some point. Anyway, I have several AMC builds..... most unstarted, a few in progress, and a couple finished. I'll post my in progress stuff in a couple of days in hopes I get some motivation to continue on at least one of them. GREAT thread BTW

Nice work. I didn't mind this kit when I built it. Chassis went together nicely, a few issues in there somewhere, and I did some mods to make the 1973 Marcis car. I think the vented 1/4 windows designate the SE option, which IIRC were more aerodynamic for the speedways.

Thanks guys....I'm hoping to make some more progress this weekend. Maybe even place an order with MCW for the straight 6, but we'll see.

Nice work on that. I have an Indy Pace Turbo and 6.6 Trans Am on my bench right now so I understand the amount of work you have done to make yours look that good. It should make the birthday boy smile for days.

Here's a mockup. Tires from a 66 Charger kit and 65 Chevelle wheelcovers. This will get a straight 6 if I can find a donor, otherwise a 327 from the 66 Chevy II should fit the bill. A sneak peak at the 68 Nickey/Dana I am combining with a 69 Z-28. After I get the mods done on the 67, I'll get crankin in this. It will probably get built as a mid 70's street racer.

My wife has been bugging me to build a 67/68 Convertible for a while now, since I have to make her happy from time to time....here goes . I have this started 69 build someone gave me , and a fresh 67 kit to work with so I have been trying to combine the two for a few weeks now, most of that time spent on the interior. Both interiors Here the 67 door panels and rear seat are free from the 67 tub Now fit into the 69 tub. The rear seat was narrowed in the center. Once the glue cured the bottom cushion was cut into 3 pieces from side to side and shortened then I added the seat top to the modified seat.. The next step is to to re-contour the grossly misshapen front seatbacks to look like the real thing, the door panels are getting a major overhaul, and I started adding details to the dash last weekend. Chassis was almost made for this body, just had to clip a little ahead of the front wheels to fit the splash pan, and the firewall fits with no mods . 67's had vent windows that are represented on the clear tree and not very detailed, so I had to add those as well. Finished...I need to prime to check my progress and do some finessing but I'm pretty happy with the results the 69 windshield fits like a glove too.

Yes, I do the mouse over thing so it shows copied, then I right click in the post box, hit paste in the pop up window and done, no looking at or touching of the keyboard. Seems easier to me and I've always done it that way. I did add some pics to a PM this morning ( the mouse way ) and it was a bit glitchy but worked in the end. I'm going to attempt to post again in the morning after work, trying the control V way , I'll let you know if it makes a difference. Thanks again

I have a PC...no MAC. I tried both editors with same results, haven't given up yet, just short on time and looking for the easy answer(button?) . Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll give them a try tomorrow if I have time to get on here.

Help me Help me!!!!........I haven't been able to post from my Photobucket for several months now. Used to work fine, but not anymore. I hit the URL, it say's "copied", but when I right click to paste it there is no paste option in the box...still works on spotlight, haven't been to SA forums in a few years and not going back to see if it works there. Is there a new secret button I need to hit to allow this? Please help as I am jonesin' to post some recent finished builds and my on the bench stuff. Thanks for any help you may provide.
