Thank you my friends for the nice feedback!! Much appreciated.

Here is my AMT '65 Galaxie. I built it all box stock, and only detailed it with foil and paint. The color was mixed in the factory tone of Prairie Bronze and is automotive Poliurethane paint followed by a couple of coats of automotive two part clear. The interior is the factory option of gold vinyl. Engine is the FE 427 with a Top Loader four speed.

Very cool!!! Love to a see a stock '57 Chevy. Too many have being ruined already.

Looks very nice. The color looks correct on the car as well.

I just love those. Looka at the box art they had. That could be called art.

I like it!!!!

My oppinion is the same as yours.

Thanks!! Trying to keep the "1959" in the model, and not only in the name

I have this kit, and always wondered if the guys at AMT forgot a floor pan for the cab. The '57 truck is the same thing. The model looks great, but they could had included a part to hide the interior tub from the underside, so it would look more realistic.

Looks great!!! I like the work done on the rear bumper, looks perfect.

Beautiful!!!

Being there done that... Hahaha.

You did a great job on this. The kit is all out of proportion, I saw one already. Looks like the folks who did it never saw an actual Cord other than some very very small and poor pictures. The Monogram kit is light years ahead. I can say I don't have your courage, I started building the Lindberg's '40 Ford and gave out. Too bad of a kit.

Nice builds!! Love those Zingers!! One thing tough, looks like the wing on the Vette has it's rear facing front.

Guys, thanks again!!!

I'll second that!!! Still trying to convert a AMT '66 Galaxie into a four door sedan. Not as easy at it may seams.

Very nice job you did converting the AMT '57 into a '58!!

Looks very good. I love the dual exhaust pipes.

That's a superb job done on a great kit. The color alone is just about perfect!!!

If you can't get it locally, try the Round 2 homepage: http://round2models.com/models/amt/49ford-coupe They re-released the kit back in 2008, and it's still in production. It's originaly a 1960's era kit, and it's great, super well engineered. I've built several, and will recomend it for sure.

My friends, it's always a pleasure to read your feedback!! You are most welcome!! I know there is kind of a controversy about the style of the traditional kits X today's kits. I only consider to be real and genuine the kits engineered at least in the same decade as the subject car, by engineers that were there when the cars were new. That being said, my favorite manufacturer is AMT, and I try to only build their kits engineered in the '50s '60s and '70s when possible. Of course, there are some exceptions, like the new tooling Edsel that I built, but that one had several flaws, like a too small engine, too big bumpers, sectioned body, bad tires, and it goes on. put it aside with a Dambury Mint Edsel Bermuda and it all becomes very noticeable. On my point of view that's way worse than a couple of screws and some chrome headlights, specially considering the so called "wonderfull modern technology" available when it was developed. What is their excuse? The guys at AMT back in '59 developed a kit based on a promo, that was a model designed to be easilly built at a factory to be distributed trough the car makers dealer network, and they succeded in that. And the model has perfect body proportions, you can campare it with a real '59 Ford and find out. That CAN'T be said about most of modern tooling kits, look at the Edsel and the '58 Plymouth with that bent side trim, or the Revell kits with that toy like separate chrome trim that leaves ugly gaps. In that spirit, I consider myself unworthy of modifying the basic engineering of any of those old AMT kits, that I consider the be the very best. I love curbside kits, they build without trouble, and display great. They don't have an engine, but even if they had, it's not like they were going somewhere :D

This is a special car for me. It's the very first Galaxie, still as a top of the line model of the Ford Fairlane 500, what would change for 1960 with the Galaxie being a separate car from the Fairlane. This model was built from a original 1959 AMT annual kit, a Trophy Junior series kit. I bought it built from eBay, and it had only being built with a couple of drops a glue and no paint, it was like working on a virgin kit. I also have the 3 in 1 Customizing kit for the '59 Galaxie, also from AMT, this one still intect in the box, and there are some very small differences between the Junior kit (that gives big brother results, granted!!) and the grown up brither kit. The junir came molded in yellow, has one piece taillights, and soft vinyl tires. The 3 in 1 came molded in white, has two pieces taillights with a red plastic insert, and has the rock hard vinyl tires. It also has the full array of customizing parts and decals. In this model I used Tamiya paints. I used TS-41 Coral Blue and TS-26 pure White. The Coral blue is a match for the original Ford color of Indian Turquoise, so I got lazy and kept the airbrush away. The interior is the factory option mediun blue metallic, dark blue metalic, and white. The model was built to represent a brand new, never used unrestored 1959 Ford Galaxie.
