that's quite the kind compliment. I have quite the gift of mucking up a "shinny" paint job, so logically I should do OK with a weathered one

sure did-been look'n for an excuse to use them lol

Thanks everyone. I have a few of these kits in my collection that I've been using as donor kits for other projects. I told myself that I would build at least one of them as close to box stock as possible. Didn't succeed, but that explains the engine & wheel choice. Wanted to keep the factory ride height, but had to modify it slightly-it was making the 4x4 guys jealous. The wheels in this kit are terrible-couldn't find a way to make them look better. Ironically, the kit rear tires are awesome for hot rods. Which is why I ran short on this one. For the body, I applied black BMF in key areas before paint, dry brushes rust tones in other. Next was gloss black, decals, flat clear, then sanded until the desired affect-in that order. I used the Tamiya weather kit to bring it all together. The peeling paint on the visor was a "happy" accident as result of being too aggressive with the sanding. I did a small write up in the Rat Rod community build thread. SC

Good look'n 'Vette-any more pics?

A few more...

My latest completed build. Call it a Jalopy/Rat Rod/Hot Rod/Retro, whatever - I'm calling it DONE! The chassis and drive train are kit stock Revell, the body is Jimmy Flintstone chopped '30 Ford Tudor. My parts box donated the rear tires and misc. detail items for the engine bay. Not accurate, but gives the illusion that I was hoping for.

FINALLY finished the Rat! Thought this one was going to be a quick build lol. Decided to go with the kit stock grill, painted semi-gloss black at the last moment. Hope you like it.

I bought 3 of these, all different issues. Seems like the newer the issue, the worse the flash. Reminds me why I tend to stay away from AMT products, but I can't get enough of the '53 P/U

Sweet '57-want to see more!

Sweet build-love the color combo

Great look'n rod-checks all the right boxes for me!

Nice work-the paint looks awesome

Nice T - love the big meats on the back

I like where this is going!

This kit is a good base for lots of possibilities. Despite the exesive flash on mine, it's becoming one of my favourite kits. Can't wait to see what you do with this one

I'm partial to the copper type color on the right, but all are excellent choices. Can't wait to see more-keep up the good work

Looks great-another great build

Nice-I like having scaled versions of my 1:1 vehicles

Love the '32's! Nice work

Wow-that looks great! Especially since it's a snap kit

The paint is wild! very creative

Nice work! Got a couple of these kits of my own to build-thanks for the inspiration!

Looks great so far. What are you using as the donor kit-Revell Sox & Martin 'Cuda?

Great work - looks just "right"!

Excellent work! Got to be one of the best builds I've seen from that kit.
