AMT 1956 Ford

Finished this today. I bought it at a garage sale. The doors were glued in place. I did try to cut them out but then noticed the hinges were cut off and gone. The chassis was built the front suspension has some damage. I was going to go yellow and black two tone but after screrwing up 5 times and having to strip it that many times. I decided on this color. I did try blackening the openings around the doors and trunk with water downed poster paint but then it left a grayish tine. Anyhow. It's done.

Looks good even after all those rebuilding and paint struggles!  I've always loved this kit; had one in-the-works for over a decade now... I need to pull that one out and finish her up!

Love these cars. Working on 2 right now myself. Looks great in green too. Nicely done.

Thanks guys. I really wanted to put the crown vic parts on it but couldn't figure out how. I kept trying to test fit the side pieces but keep dropping them because of my Renaud's. Maybe easier if the doors weren't glued?

Looks better like you did it.  I really like it just the way you built it.
