’61 Ford Starliner Mild Custom: Paint, Unmasked!
Ron Hamilton replied to John Goschke's topic in WIP: Model Cars
That's gonna be nice!!!!! -
A better start would be an AMT '67 Impala SS427. It will give the basic greenhouse floor interior and chassis. An AMT '69 Hurst Olds will yield a 455/Turbo 400.

From one lover of the '64 Galaxie to another, Beautiful!!!!

Love it!!!!!

There are a lot of kits that I like. One I have built a lot of, or used the parts out of is the AMT '67 Chevy Impala SS427 . Whether it was built out of the box... Had a resin body exchanged to it... The Chassis, Floorboard and driveline are in these two, which started out as pristine, unbuilt kits. This AMT '67 body has been modified into a '68. I have to finish it one of these days, once I decide on the color combination, and wheels.

AMT '58 Plymouth Belvedere CHRISTINE kit
Ron Hamilton replied to cooltoys1's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks to Alan Manley's photo, I can show what is in the Johan '63 Chrysler 300. This is the 2-4 Barrell manifold, carbs and air cleaners in the original JoHan 1963 Chrysler 300 kits, which I have built a couple of. The Johan parts are not chromed, but they are there, and can be adapted to the AMT engine. Now if they could just straighten out the body. -

I have quite a few Chevy Novas. Unfortunately, I had to sell an unbuilt '62 Hardtop, and a pristine '63 Modelhaus Resin kit earlier this year. Oh well, I still have the others. I have an Boss Nova Funny Car, an AMT '63 Wagon and '65 Hardtop that needs to be restored, a couple of unbuilt AMT '66 Kits, a Bandit Resins '66 2 Door Sedan Transkit, and all of the Revell '69 Nova variations, as well as a couple of the AMT '71's to be turned into a Pontiac Ventura II, which I may just chop up one of the Revell Novas for that conversion. Funny, I built an AMT '66 when that kit first came out (about 20 years ago), and it still looks great, except that it is a little dusty. I may pull it apart when I have the time, and clean it up, and reassemble it. I may remove the Traction Bars, Cragars, and Drag Slicks, and install a set of full wheel covers and whitewalls. One of these days, I'll take a picture of it.

I have a thing for Chevy Novas. I have the Trumpeter kit (hardtop) under construction, which in my opinion was the best model kit that company has done. This one will be a replica stock build, with the 6 Cylinder engine.The AMT convertible will be built as a "GM Executive" car, with "Experimental" drive train mods, as well as a reworked interior, and a different wheel/Tire Combination. The Cragar SS mags in the picture are not going to be used, as I have something else in mind, and the engine is going to be a surprise. The AMT '66 Nova is the source for the chassis under this one, and yes it fit with some modification. The interior is completely scratchbuilt in a style similar to the factory configuration, but would be leather in a one to one world. I Plan on this one to be Red, with a Red Leather interior. Whitewall tires will be mounted on the wheels I am using. At this point, I still have some cuting and fitting to do before paint.

A couple of years ago, I bought an empty 1963 Nova Wagon Box, to go with an F & F Resin '63 Nova Wagon I built several years back. As luck would have it, I was able to acquire a pretty clean built-up Nova Wagon to be re-done. It was missing a few pieces, but believe it or not, I had the parts to complete a nice replica stock build, in a set of resin tail lamps, and a set of resin full wheel covers. I also had a Replicas and Miniatures Chevy 6 cylinder engine for it. It's waiting its turn to be done this year. I have to decide on a color combination for it, and I may fabricate a roof rack for it. I have to find the photos of the F & F nova I did several years ago, as it came out pretty nice. It was built as a mild hot rod with a V8 engine/4-speed and a set of big and little Halibrands with a rake. I may do a "Before and After" with this one, with the before version getting a Dr. Cranky style weathering treatment.

Modifying a Promotional Model.
Ron Hamilton replied to Wheels's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I will alter a promo, only if it was "played with, and cannot be saved. This one was scuffed up, and had a busted "A" pillar. Besides I wanted a decent '66 Hardtop, and one was not available in kit form. I am going to modify this one too, as the windshield frame is busted. I have to scratchbuild a windshield frame, and repaint it. I like the green. I will probably add and detail the chrome trim, and detail the interior too. -
Nice build J.C.

Revell 1957 Ford Custom Tudor - Finished Pics
Ron Hamilton replied to RandyB.'s topic in WIP: Model Cars
That is so nice. I can only hope that mine comes out looking half as good. -
That thing is scary cool!!!!!

If you can find an AMT '62 Chevy Bel Air, I am willing to bet you that that seat will fit. For my '66 Chevy II Post sedan Project (using one of Bandit Resin's georgeous bodies), I scratchbuilt a bench seat, which is not all that difficult. Sorry, I have no pictures, and the kit is put away where I cannot get to it right away.
