AMT 50 Ford convertible custom

[cobraman]

Using a lot of the poor fitting custom pieces but in time I think I can get them looking good .

I'll be watching with interest. I love making these old custom bits fit. Huge sense of achievement when done.

I got it on the run but I ran out of putty.

I used that front end on a '49 Ford coupe body some time ago. Ya it will take a bit of putty to get all those parts to fit smoothly. The Windshield fitment issues are caused by the option of a chopped or standard roof, and on the real early issues they offered the Victoria hardtop stock and chopped roofs also.

Looking good Ray!

It looks like you got a pretty good fit out of those custom bits.

Thanks guys. Those custom parts do take a bit of work.

You've got my attention

[cobraman]

I should wrap this one up  in the not too distant future. I'm stalled waiting for some flocking for the interior and the paint I used for the top is still not dry 3 days after i sprayed it.

Keep pushing.  I built this one years ago.   Very mild.

[cobraman]

Good looking model Randy.

Both of those are nice looking builds Ray and Randy. I like the old 49-50 Ford kits. Lots of options and directions to go. I need to get back on my 49 and my 50. Keep it going Ray!
