AMT Pacemakers

Thanks, I've been doing alot of near box stock of late, and I'm getting quite a few done..... Robert

Just finished this one, box stock except wheels/tires, decal. Testors blue. Robert

Heres my daily driver, had it for 17 years now and this is its final "suit".

I've been using Valspar spraycans and really like them for their smooth finish. http://www.valsparpaint.com/en/find-the-right-product/interior/paint/premium-spray-paint.html Robert

Sorry, its in a magazine and I have no way of scanning.. Robert

Thanks everyone, I found some color pics of a 32 coupe with a hemi that had red wires, from 1957, and they were not the cloth type. which works for what I' building. Thanks Robert

Just wondering when the first yellow plug wires came out.. the first i remember were back in 1976, but I'm sure it was before that. Are any other colors... Robert

Shane, looking good. Hey do you ever attend the cruise ins there in Cleveland? They have a model contest at them. Never been myself, but hope to attend the next one if my ole Ford will make the trip. Robert

Man this thing is KOOL, but it needs something on the firewall, maybe a couple of gauges set into it??? Robert

Yea I know, there all over the place, I built this one back in 1998, first time its been out. Ignore the paint chips, thats what happens when you drive em!!!

NICE ride, Nice pics Robert

I've been working on my photographic skills lately since all my post before have gotten the once over for bad pics, so lets see how this goes. AMT 56 Ford, straight out of the parts box, Let the show begin Robert

I agree with you on the plug wires, but everyting else is KOOL.... Robert

There must be ZERO humidity where your at!! Everytime I spray Tamiya straight from the can it looks super shiney for about an hour, then it starts loosing its gloss down to almost satin.... Nice job.. Robert

Theres always the "FREE" space.... how about meeting in a park? Most are free, and GOOD LUCK......

Well this one has been on the table for a year now, guess I'll try and finish it, some of the stats are; Revell kit, 53 Studeabaker engine, front axle from parts box, rearend from AMT, not sure where ... Wheels AMT, tires parts box.. going to be a parts box stock build, nothing fancey no engine detailing etc.. Paint is Fathom Green, Tamiya I really need to get my workbench OUTSIDE... Robert

Hey neighbor,,, nice Ford.. Robert

I really don't have anything to say about rats.. you either like em or you don't. This is a pic of my 63 F-100 I'm rebuilding for the sixth time since 95, its had everything from a perfect red paint job to what it is now, baremetal..and I guess this will be its last new suit by me. Everyone who sees it ask "what color are you going to paint it?" my answer is "its done" and thats when the fan really gets full.

Yep, I like that. those welds look cool, {maybe it was welded with a stick welder!!} CCSS

Pic 2.

This build was inspired by a photo in Rodz magazine sometime back, I've been building it in my head for a long time and decided to just do it. I only hope to finish it !!! So far the top is chopped and leaned forward, and a new rear window installed, the rear window frame is from AMT 34 Ford 5w. Be back when I've got more done..

Please forgive me, but how in the ----------- can you tell a modelcar wheel is for a certain brand car? Robert

Nice!! Robert

Wow!!! Thanks for the 'big head"..For those who asked, it just artists oils and good ole chalk, with some Vaspar flat clear. Robert

Sorry I'm no photo pro, just getting by!! Suggestions? I noticed in the first pic that the top of the door has a glare, in real time the model has no shine on it at all.. Robert
