larman Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) I built this over my Christmas vacation time, finishing it up this morning. The original plan was to get both cars in the 2 in 1 kit finished, building a hot rod coupe and stock roadster pickup straight from the box. After looking everything over, I decided to go this way with the coupe, I will modify the stock roadster into a 60's era street rod with an Olds V8 from the AMT '40 Sedan. More on that as it progresses, but it will be built similarly, without wiring, etc. Edited January 5, 2022 by larman 5
Zippi Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Good looking old school Hot Rod. Nice color. Great job.
Snake45 Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Pretty cool, you don't see these that often. Is than an AMT Parts Pack Pontiac engine?

The headers were from the parts pack, the engine is from the AMT '36 Ford. The supercharger is from the Double Dragster, the belt/cover is from the AMT '57 Chevy, the 2 port injector came from the parts box.
Painted Black Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Outstanding hot rod, very nice collection of cool speed parts..
Dave Armstrong Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Very nice build, love the paint and finished look! I don't wire and detail either- way too many kits in the stash for the time involved.
customline Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Awesome treatment of an old favorite kit. This kit is a blank canvas and you have painted a masterpiece on it!
Zippi Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Now that's a good-looking Hot Rod right there. Nice job.
M W Elky Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Love it! These competition coupe’s look great in gold.I have a survivor from my dad that he painted gold in the 60’s . he used those long headers from the 53 studebaker kit. My kid eyes though they were so cool. You inspired me to do a freshen up on it.thanks so much.
