Thanks guys!

Thanks Bob, I tried search but came up with nothing. No Ivo builds at all.

I just opened my new 1/25 AMT TV Tommy Ivo FED and was looking through the instructions and noticed no color references for anything. Where can I get some information on colors,engine,interior,frame, body,seat,tranny. All I have to go on is the box top art.---John

Engine almost done except for exhaust crossover pipe. Did some painting on dash and interior.

Gotta love that carpet! Most excellent!

Got some detail painting on engine. I still have a long way to go.Gotta love those FRAM filters!

I got my Dukes Road Runner kit today and am going to model my long departed gold '73 Road Runner from this. The kit looks pretty close to what I had, buckets, slap stick auto, Rally wheels, dual exhaust.I just have to figure if it was Honey Gold or Golden Haze Poly, think it was Poly. Interior was also some sort of gold color. I did a model of it 3 or 4 years ago using the AMT '74 GTX kit with aftermarket decals, very brittle from what I remember. My car was a Canadian build with a 360, gold with white stripes. Heres a picture of the kit, mostly the old GTX kit with a new dual exhaust chassis.Excuse the poor quality of the old GTX pics.---John

Hello---This one has been a favorite for years. As a kid back in the early to mid sixties there was a gravel yard not far from my house. I used to see these as 10 wheeled dumps and concrete mixers. They had the same angled, not curved fenders with the single headlight in front of them. Who makes it and what scale?---Thanks, NICE build---John

Is there any web sites that give interior colors and or pictures?

I dug this out, my wife is a Petty fan and a few years back she started this did most of the painting except for the dayglo orange. She got tired of the "paint smell" so I have decided to finish it. I finished the chassis and started painting the dayglo orange. I was going to use the kit decals but they are cracked so I purchased a set of Slicks to replace them. Now I have to paint the hood, trunk, and roof dayglo orange as Slicks doesn't have the orange decal stripe as the Revell kit did.Here it is so far, still a lot of touch up work left. Blue is MM rattle can Grabber Blue.---John

Gary---thanks, that looks like my '53 F-100 engine posted above.---John

Randy---Would the tranny be gloss black or be better as a metalic gray to simulate cast? Eric, the area below the head looks like a "shelf" but maybe AMT meant it to simulate a "log manifold"? If so I still need a crossover pipe and a pipe exiting to the exhaust system on the right side. Thank you for your comments and help.---John

Got bored waiting for '74 Daisy Dukes Road Runner to arrive in mail so I started Mom's old brown Ford. Decided to do engine dark green and scratch build headers using my 1/25 AMT '53 F-100 flat head eight as a pattern to go by. Not much to see so far---John
