Got the AMT 1962 Buick Electra 225 for christmas. Have looked at this kit before but never got it. Was wondering if anybody has dealt with replacing the chassis with a more detailed one from another kit? Was thinking about the AMT 1962 Bel Air since I have a few of them in my pile? Haven't had time to dig one out to check it. Any help anyone?

I got this completed just before we had to leave to go see my wife's family on Christmad Day. This was for her grandfather. He keeps talking about the 51 that he had but, since nobody makes a 51 I built him a 53. He was so surprised that I would do this for him. He was all smiles. He loved it. Said he knows it is alot of work and he will cherish it forever. Couldn;t thank me enough. He kept showing it to everybody there. I didn't have much chance to get many pictures of it but I did get a couple.

Got this model finished in time for a christmas gift for my wife's grandfather. Gave it to him on Christmas day, he didn't expect it but he loves it and will cherish it for the rest of his life. Will have pics in the Under Glass pages soon.

I remeber that car. Looks great. NIce job on it

Thanks for the comments. Here is a picture of the body polished and bmf. Not the best pic but a pic anyway.

Here is a progress pic of the interior. Used Testors Model Master Leather and Radome Tan for colors. Used brown flocking for carpet. I did this prior to purchasing embossing powder in brown, wanted to use what I had on hand to use it up.

Looking great. Looks like alot of decals there.

Progress on the 53 Ford has been about like Congress, slow. But I do have a little update today. I have the chassis close to being completed. Just some touch up and a few small parts. I primered with Dulpicolor Gray Primer then missed some body color on the edges. Brushed painted Testors Semi-Gloss Black on the frame. Hope to have more soon. Have been working on the interior and engine some as well. Got the body polished and waxed, baremetal too. Will get pic tomorrow of body.

Heres a link to one of my favorites. The High and Mighty 49 Plymouth by the famous Ramchargers. http://www.allpar.co...igh-mighty.html

Yeah a nice kit of the Auburn Speedster would be awesome as well. Or even a late 30's Lincoln Zephyr

My question is, "why is the little boy playing with his sisters dolls when he has a cool truck to play with?"

This is my kind of build. Nice factory looking build. No rust, no low rider bs. Just a beautiful model. I have one but I will be using the 69 chassis, engine for mine. It will also be a super stock drag car. Any great job. Looks awesome. Thank you for sharing.

Yeah a Tucker would be awesome!!!! I got the resin Tucker from Modelhaus but have never done anything with it yet.

I love it. Looks amazing. Bring 'em on. I want aleast a case of them. Honey, can I buy a couple of models? Need to check with wife first. Can't wait. Thank you Moebius. What's next in line, more 50's era Mopars?

All that comes to mind is .... WOW. Beautiful paint

Love the 50 Chevy Truck and the Call my Bluff 55. They all look awesome.

Remember that quite well. Awesome model of a great driver. Thnks for sharing.

I like them all but that Skoal Oldsmobile stands out among them. Is that Terry Labonte's or Rick Mast? I remember them both driving the Skoal Olds in black and white while Harry Gant had the green Skoal cars.

Does anybody know where you can order Tamiya Paints in the US and have them shipped? I'm tired of going the closet hobby store, which is 50 miles away, and coming home empty handed.

Tommy Boy. One of the clients that Tommy was trying to sign had some diecast cars on his desk and Tommy winds up crashing and burning it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-3Oehs6rzQ

Awesome can't wait. One that I have been looking for for a long long time. Thank you Moebius

Any updates?

What yeloow is that? I like bright colors and have been looking for a bright yeloow like that. Looks good by the way.

Lindberg 64 Plymouths and Dodges for early Johan 60's Dodges and Plymouths. Revell 68-69 Dart chassis/inner fenders for under hood of Amt/MPC 69 Barracuda. Revell ProStreet 67 Chevelle chassis for any 60's A body GM products. Revell 69 Camaro chassis for the old AMT 72 Nova prior to Revell's Novas. Revell Thunderbolt chassis, engine, interior floor for AMT 64 Comet

This sad news but my take on the article on NHRA.com is that he and his wife decided to travel and spend time together not the lack of sponsor dollars. See attached link for article. http://nhra.com/story/2011/11/15/kenny-bernstein-retires-from-nhra-drag-racing/ Either way sad news and hate to see any team close up.
