Cool..didn't know that one existed...I was familiar w/ the 1/25th one (would like to see that one reissued also).

The trim around the windshield is unique to '63 also...except AMT never changed it on their '64-'67 promos or kits!

What's unique about the '63 windshield trim?

Thanks!

Looks workable, for a better end result one has to cut the FR & RR valance from the chassis and blend it into the body, no biggie tho, did the same with the front valance of their Opel GT.

'63 windshield trim covers the pillars and visually carries the windshield opening into the side window openings.  '64-'67 trim just goes around the windshield.

As for the 1/32 Indy car, my bet is that it, and the 1/25 kit, would be issued around the same time if licensing can be had for that particular car.

thanks, Mark; I looked at some photos and see what you are saying about the trim piece only applying to the '63 coupe; my brother and I would point to or comment on any Corvette we saw since they weren't a common sight around the Detroit area until the '68 model came out

Yep, good spot!  That'll be the first thing I do.

Interesting that the box calls it a one piece body - it KINDA is, but some of it is part of the chassis as you note.

I'm guessing these kits were designed for the Slot car guys? I had the 1961 Ranchero. Very nice detail but not too exciting.
