WoodyRDC Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Can I use a 68 Amt RR grille in a AMT 69 GTX. Going to make GTX look like RR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) The grilles on the '68 & '69 Roadrunners were totally different, so transplanting the '68 grille into a '69 will not give you a '69 Roadrunner.

gtx6970 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 If I can make a suggestion. Why not start with the real thing. Johan made one and its not terribly difficult to find ( they're all over ebay ) The body of it is far and away superior than anything AMT has ever done with this body style . A nice unbuilt will set you back in the $50 - $60 range , give or take a few dollars either way ( patience is key to get it much cheaper than that though ) Ive seen some sell for more, but I wouldnt pay that for one , just keep an eye peeled for one and you WILL get one.Decent builtups can be had for usually under $30 , maybe $40 tops.Just in the past year Ive bought 2 and paid $50 for each. Both kits still factory sealed ( since been opened though ) Ive got several ( none for sale ) so my opinion may be jaded slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I'll echo what Bill said! I just sold a pristine kit of Johan's '69 Road Runner on eBay for a little over $50. I didn't need it as I already have a built up, and what Bill said is exactly right. While they're getting scarce, they still turn up on eBay rather frequently but don't get into a bidding war over one as another one is sure to turn up.Yeah, Round 2 will NEVER fix the body on the Road Runners that AMT originally did in the late '80's! It bugged me so much on how off they were that I did a thread on how to correct one here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
