gtx6970 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Does anyone know if the original AMT 1960 Ford Sunliner came with an up top like the 61 did ? My next project is a replica of a local car near me and I like it with the uptop as shown . Ive test fitted a top from my 61 kit and it might work with minimal work around the vent wing area . If thats my only source I'll proceed as planned
Jon Haigwood Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I did not see that option in the instructions http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1951-1960/amt-1960-ford-sunliner/
gtx6970 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks, I have 2 original convertibles neither one had an up top with them or instructions. So I wasn't sure, but doubted it . I just bought an original 61 Up top and will modify it to work on the 60
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 No, the '60 didn't have an up top.I always found it strange that some kits were offered with one, & others weren't.I don't believe AMT started putting them into some of their kits until 1961. Steve
gtx6970 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Posted March 18, 2017 I don't believe AMT started putting them into some of their kits until 1961.I didn't think it did. Neither of the 2 builtups I have ...have either a top or boot. So wanted to be sure. But with a little work I can make one from a 61 ford sunliner kit work well enough.
