GMC short fleet
Ron Hamilton replied to dieseldawg142's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That looks so right!!!! -
Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Dwayne! You hit that one on the head. All you need are some steelies and dog dish caps, and we will be watching a TV show of the 70's, I need to get back to work on my '74 Spirit of America Impala. I have to figure out the grille and headlamps, and I am there. I love this one.
-
I built my 2nd one as a Caprice Hardtop in Marina Blue, with a Black Vinyl Roof and Strato Bench seat, and the 1st one was built from an AMT kit as a Convertible in Aztec Bronze. I love these cars.
-
That build looks great so far, I painted my coupe Testors bright Yellow, which is very close to Fly Yellow! I may take it down and restore it with a better paint job.
-
I believe that the Transkit is still available from HRM. I have one, and it is fantastic. I am leaning towards either Acapulco Blue or Candy Apple Red, with a black interior, and white stripes. Your builds is a beauty.

I love that. I may do one of mine like it.

66 Country Squire
Ron Hamilton replied to Paul Hettick's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I remember seeing a 63 Country Squire with buckets and A console here locally in Md. One of my neighbors had a Black 66 Country Squire, and another had a beige one. I think it would be quite handsome in Emberglow. I have a '66 convertible built in that color. I will be a customer for one. -
1965 F/Stock Barracuda Golden Commandos
Ron Hamilton replied to jjsipes's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
I did a similar conversion with a 1964 Valiant for an imaginary 273 power pack car. I may do the same with my 65 Barracuda. Which is not mint anyway. I love this build so far. -
I am quite sure that you will knock that one out of the park.
-
That is my absolute favorite car. I built the coupe a long time ago. I am looking forward to seeing this one.
-
The absolute best up top for this application would be the one from the Revell 1965 Chevy Impala Convertible. I used it on my 1965 Olds Dynamic 88 convertible several years ago.
-
I have had the interior for years, but sorry, I cannot post any pictures as I am in Photobucket Jail for now. Trust me, the interior is a very good fit for the Revell kit.

1/25 AMT '62 Pontiac Catalina Polyglas Gasser II
Ron Hamilton replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Funny thing, the last '62 I built was a derelict '62 Bonneville Convertible, to which I added a roof from a MCW '62 Catalina to make a hardtop. I bought them before AMT marketed its current ;62 kit, which I have several, and one under construction as a convertible. A new tool of the '62 Bonneville would have been great. Another Catalina/Ventura does nothing for me. -
Absolutely, but unless you are a detail freak like me, the Johan kit will suffice, and even though it is lacking in detail, and has wire axles, the fit is great. I bought a '70 Road Runner body that was based on the unobtainium Jo Han annual, and I robbed a broken '70 Superbird I built and scrapped for the interior and chassis to do a simple project. When they were cheap, I bought up a bunch of AMT Road Runners and GTX for the chassis and powertrains. I did a '69 Coronet R/T that way, and I have an R& R '68 Charger R/T and '68 Coronet R/T resin transits, which I have fitted the updated chassis under, which fit nicely. I plan to use the Dog Dish Caps and Steelies from the Revell '68 Charger for the Coronet R/T. With the Revell '68 through '70 Charger kits, and the AMT '70 Super Bee, I am going to have quite a fleet of turn of the Decade Mopar muscle. Raoul's build puts my AMT '69 GTX to shame, and I won a best Mopar trophy at a contest with it. By the way, I have an AMT '69 GTX Convertible, that I am considering combining it with a derelict JoHan '69 Road Runner to do a '69 Road Runner Convertible, incorporating the superior Johan Grille and Tail lamps into the AMT body, and making the appropriate changes to the body and interior.

Very nice!!!!
-
Everything flows on that one.
-
It is based on the Revell kit, which it will fit. I am not sure about the AMT, which I plan to build mine stock. I wish someone did the '63 Dog Dish caps. A sleeper Impala Z11 street car would be quite interesting. In doing the '63 Old Reliable Z11, I believe either the AMT '63 or '64 Corvette Roadster annual kit has the Hands Mag Wheels that were used for a time on the '63 Car.

Beautiful! I love those 70 through 72 Monte Carlos.
-
Very nice.

That is sharp.
