spencer1984 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 This started out as the AMT "Street Muscle" release of the old MPC '69 fastback coupe. I cut off the roof and made a new deck, and modified the interior with custom front buckets and a scratch built rear bench. The top boot is a modified item from my parts box, and the wheels are Revell Starsky & Hutch Torino Ansens with parts box tires and Fireball Modelworks decals. The grilles in this kit always looked too small to me in this kit, so I scratch built a new set with PE mesh and clear headlights. Paint is Tamiya TS-87 Titanium Gold for the body and TS-69 Linoleum Deck Brown for the interior. While it's far from a perfect execution, it was a surprisingly enjoyable build so I'm happy with the results regardless. As always, any comments/criticisms are welcome! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Great looking build and changing the rear deck from a Fastback body style had to be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Excellent conversion Bill! I also like how you fixed the front grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a much harder fight since bodywork is what usually trips me up, but this went far smoother than I expected. 1 hour ago, Mopar - D said: I also like how you fixed the front grill. Thanks! I feel like it could use a little more refining the next time I try it, but I definitely like it better than the kit parts. Between this and their '62 Corvette, it seems AMT had a thing for tiny headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
