RickRollerLT1 Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Fresh off da' bench! From the Round 2 Hot Wheels of a 1990s era AMT tool. Never built this one before as I assumed it was a regurgitated 1960s era tool (those old AMT '32s left much to be desired with their molded in junk). Turns out its a nicely detailed piece like the 39 Chevy Wagon Rod (which I'm planning to get next!) This ones mostly box stock. Nice custom and resto mod styling that fits up my alley! Windshield and roof were a massive PTA to hold and line up. The front glass broke, but luckily in the middle where the windshield frame covers most of it up. At least on my example everything was slightly warped and twisted to a degree, which didn't help matters especially with the hood. These Hot Wheels kits come with stickers and waterslide decals. Normally I use the latter, but my kit had them crumpled up and all tore apart upon application. The stickers surprisingly look pretty good and the Metallic Green gives them a painted metallic sheen. Some additional decals were added from other places. Exterior is Tamiya TS-20 Metallic Green, cleared with Pldege. 2
