Wow...man this thing's looking killer! AWESOME detailing,my friend,and a gogeously unique path compared to the "me too's" builds seen (my own included,LOL),I LOVE it!
You'll just have to wait and see,wontcha? (I'll give a hint though...it isn't modern,and it's kinda getting back to my root-love-genre' of builds....see my username ,that's alls I'm sayin' )
"I ride bikes just a little bit..."
From 2010 or so...
From 2011 or so...
From this year...
And yes........riding is the main culprit that keeps me away from the model bench for long stretches (including this current one),LOL!
I'll ride any type of bike new or old,anywhere road or trail,but below is my prefered style of riding...
I'd leave it as is,and find another AMT '40,build one up like it new,display em together Nice score,nice survivor ( I have a couple of those boxes too,gorgeous)
Man...my bench hasn't been used for anything but junk collecting for weeks....and that's after it had been used for nothing but dust collecting for months before that...sigh
It looks to be a great kit from what I seen looking through it. I haven't gotten started yet-life jumped up and stomped those 96 hour build plans,and then I just sorta haven't had desire to sit at the bench of late...I'll get on it though,this thread's inspiring me!
