Ron Hamilton Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 When the AMT '60 Ford Starliner coupe came out, I had planned to build it as a convertible, as a replica of my uncle's car. I was planning to scratchbuild the interior panels, but in a conversation with Norm Veber of Replicas and Miniatures Co. of MD, he advised me that he was developing a transkit of the Sunliner. In the mean time, Model Car garage had also developed a photoetch set for the 60 Ford. Armed with these items, I started my project. My uncle's car had a set of full wheelcovers and a set of skirts, neither was available in the AMT kit. So I scratchbuilt the skirts, and found an accurate '60 Ford wheelcover from the Hubley '60 Ford Sedan. Both of which are now in Replicas and Miniature's line. I painted it with Model Master Black Lacquer, with a Black and White interior, just like my uncle's car. All in all, I am pleased with this build.
