AMT 64 Galaxie

I wás looking at it in the store and looks to not have a engine and just a plate,so does it have a opening hood and are there any inner fenders or other under hood details.  I do have a few FE engines that could be used in it.

Here is the HPI Guy Video of that kit.

Short Answer: Hood Molded Shut, but Inner Fenders on Chassis.

Might be a little harder to make the hood open then I was hoping.

Any number of kits that you could steal chassis and engine parts from.

If you want simple, the parts from the ‘63 Galaxie should work fine.

for a more detailed model, the AMT ‘60 Ford guts.

It’s just a matter of opening the hood and then spending a little time modifying things to fit.

I have others I would like to build first so I will think about it and consider it to do in the future.

We need new better more detailed kits of both the 1963, 1963½ and 1964 Galaxies as the ones available are old, low detail and very incorrect in places.
If Round 2 wanted to they could do new kits of them based on the very nice 1960 Galaxie Starliner kit wich they could use the chassis and drive train from, do new bodies, new brightwork and new interiors and we would have a lot better Galaxie kits than the poor ones available now.
