Actually, the bench seat from the AMT 1960 Chevrolet Fleetside pickup doesn't fit too badly. The bottom will need to be shaved down some, though. Now I just need to find a spare as the one in the photo is destined for the 1960 Chevrolet Fleetside.

That sounds like the way to go. The bench in the actual C-Series is probably the same that's in the actual F-Series. Can't see Ford making too many truck seats that aren't interchangeable between models.

Thanks for the pics. Yes, it's a little wide, but a decent hammer should take care of that. ?

It's been a LONG time, but you can try Crown Hobbies on Coral Way in Miami. The used to have a pretty good selection. The best hobby store in Miami by far was Orange Blossom Hobbies, but sadly they closed in 2001.

You probably already know this, but you'll need to update the rear suspension, front suspension, engine & transmission as they are all 1970s vintage. There are some articles here that might help: https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/

Fantastic looking chassis!

Great paint work, and I like the color.

Thanks, Carl.

Those might work. I don't have either of those kits to try it out, though. I mean, couldn't hurt, right?

Thanks for the pic, Scott. I was hoping for a simpler solution, like taking it from a 1970s car model, as I don't have enough of those seats to go around. Nor do I have the talent to actually do something like that. It is an option, though. Do you have any progress pics?

I am planning to start the AMT Ford C600 Delivery Van kit, and we all know that these are kits with an identity crisis. The box can say either C600 or C900, but the cab says C800. Oh, well. Anyway, I was doing a little digging last night into photos & brochures of the Ford C-Series, and I discovered that the individual seats that come in the kit are actually only available (from the factory in the 1970s) in the diesel versions of the truck. All gasoline versions of the C-Series had bench seats. I pulled a spare bench seat out of my Revell 1957 Ford Gasser hit to see if it would work, but is was too narrow. Does anyone know where I might find a more appropriate bench seat for my C-Series? Thanks.

Thanks, Keith. Yes, it was pleasurable to build.

Thanks, Jim.

Sweet looking Ducati!

Thanks.

Very nice Impala. I like the white with the red interior.

Thanks, Jerry.

Nice looking Ferraris.

Thanks, Larry.

Great looking Cuda. Well done.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the comments. Lee, the upper radiator hose is there. It's attached to the top of the engine in front of the air cleaner, then runs to the lower right corner of the photo & attaches to the top of the radiator by the white bottle.

Use a lot of yellow paint on that one!

Thanks, Craig.

I don't even know where I'd put that thing when I'd completed it!

Thanks, Paul. They are a cool car. Bet they fetch a pretty penny now!
