DustyMojave Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I never liked tuck & roll upholstery. But I have a '61 F100 that I bought in 1976 that still has the white tuck 'n roll dash top that was in it when I bought it. Not 'cuz I love it, but because it's part of the truck's history. I think it was originally done in Tijuana Mexico in the early 1960s. I think the whole interior was white tuck 'n roll back then, but by the time I bought it, that was all that was left. You've done a good job on the tuck 'n roll on this deuce. It's certainly period correct for a show-style rod.

I wonder what it'd look like with whitewalls and some nice flashy wheelcovers like Fiestas or Lancers? This is a compliment that really counts! I hope that one day I can paint like you, John. Until then, it's just beginner's luck sometimes.

It makes mine that I'm building in a similar theme as if a 10 year old is working on it. Did you do a build thread ? Would like to see or know how you did the roll and pleat inserts Beautiful model. No, I didn't do a build thread but I'll try to dig put some photos from other builds where I used tuck 'n roll and make a little tutorial in the Tips and Tricks section.

With my shaky hands I still have yet to master those nice fades like you did on your panels! I'm envious and inspired!
Cpt Tuttle Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Despite all their flaws the AMT deuces are among my favourite kits, they have lots of potential for being such crude kits. Your build really proves that. I especially love the roof insert. Edited January 13, 2018 by Cpt Tuttle
