    I got a Revell 68 SS396 today. Very nice kit.

    While I would love to have these Chevy II cars from Mobieus, I have a Trumpeter 63 Hardtop, an AMT 62 and 63 Convertible, and an AMT 65 Hard Top to do. The proposed 64 hardtop and 65 Sedan would be definitely wanted, but I am not holding my breath for them.

    I found a good photo of the standard XL interior trim, and Steve has hit the nail on the head. There was a rarely ordered luxury interior package as shown in the brochure which gives the seats and door panels an LTD vibe. I love this project!

    I am in complete agreement with you.

    I love it! I plan to do something similar with a 71 promo I have.

    Fantastic! A co- worker of mine had a 63 Galaxie 500XL Box Top. I have one of the promos cleaned up ready for paint. After seeing your masterpiece, I may have to rethink my build.

    I got the hood remnants out of the 66 Ford Falcon promo, and the replacement good fits pretty good. I have to do a little file and putty worth to get the edges absolutely clean before primer and paint.. I am leaning towards turquoise with a beige interior. A friend of mine's father had a 66 Fairlane in that color combination. I also cut the dashboard from the interior tub, and the engine plate popped out of the chassis. Now I have to source a 289 V8 for my 66, 67, and 69 Falcons I am restoring I don't know what that thing AMT put in the 66 through 69 Falcon kits as an engine. I have to have the chrome for all three cleaned up and related.

    I had to break my hood off, as the glue used to secure the hood melted the plastic underneath. Fortunately, I have both a styrene hood and a Modelhaus resin hood available to me. After I finish this note, I am going to clean up the remnants of the glue and hood from the Falcon body.

    I got my goodies from Shapeways today after taking advantage of the cyber Monday sale. I am happy.

    Very nice rescue.

    Steve, You're killing me with this beauty. I have a suggestion for the wheels. The Mag Stars from the AMT 67 Shelby Gt350 would look great on this car, and would be period correct. I believe that the 67 Ford kit had those wheels too. My uncle had a 67 LTD 4 door Hardtop with the Brougham trim package. The car was Yellow with a black vinyl roof and interior. It was loaded. When I do my 67, I believe that I am going with that combination, with the sport wheel covers from the 66 7 liter, which is also correct for the 67. Also the 67 Shelby has the "flower pot" steering wheel horn button as an extra part.

    My sister had a Dark Brown 78 Town Landau. Beautiful car. I hope that you can see fit to do the finned aluminum wheels that were a popular option on the 77 through 79 Thunderbird.

    The hood is a separate piece, but is is glued down tight on mine. I bought a hood just in car I have to break it to remove it. I hope to get the hood out without breaking it, as it is a nice piece.
  18. Ron Hamilton
    I have one of those myself for a future build. I would love to see how you get the hood out of it.

    Excellent work Dominik.

    We never thought about the GTX scripts for the quarter panels on the 68. The 69 Sport Satellite script for the front fender could be done as a chrome adhesive backed transfer, along with the key lock bezels, the side marker lamps on the 68, and the pentastar for the right front fender. A good idea would be to add one extra of each as a lot of us are half blind and ham handed.

    I placed my order for those parts today. I cannot wait for the 68 gtx rear treatment. While you're at it Rico, how about a proper flat hood for the AMT 68 Road Runner/69 GTX for a Sport Satellite Variant, as well as scripts for the Sport Satellite.
  22. Ron Hamilton
    Nice work. Those are pretty good kits.
  23. Ron Hamilton
    I saw the shows where this car was used. Interesting.

    I got you beat bill. Can you believe that I have been at it for 55 yrs.? Never stopped either. I'm in a drought this year, as I didn't finish anything.

    We loved these cars when they were new. I recently picked up a decent MPC 69 coupe to restore. I also have several Revell 69s also, but I like the MPC 69 due to the suspension.. I'll be following this one, as I have several unbuilt Revell, MPC and AMT sharks I can work with. I want to do a Phase lll GT in the future too. I'll use a Revell 69 for the base kit on that one.
