Check the Wal-Mart nearest you that has models. If they still have AMT display cases, they had a really good deal on them. Might be worth checking Wal-Mart.com, too.

I think they're from Pioneer Plastics. 1:24 scale Diecast Case - 9″ x 4-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ - 094c (pioneerplastics.com) I also have a wall display case.

Andy Oldenburg Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Hey Jim, no need to be sad. your build looks very good and fits to "those days". I built that kit recently and had the same impression. Too bad an instruction sheet, parts not fitting etc. No kit for a beginner but for someone willing to cut, sand and putty. The up side is you have many parts left for other builds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray wes Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Never crossed my mind to do one of these stock but you sure nailed this one. Excellent work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Rod Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Looking really good! I like the color which is a good representation of the Regatta red that was available on the ‘37 Chevy. I have the AMT 37 Chevy Wildfire kit, which probably is pretty much the same kit as this. I plan to build it stock, too. That way I’ll have the hot rod parts to use later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledsel Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Looks good. Shocked you had fit issues. I've built some of these without issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Thanks, guys. I appreciate the comments. @SledselLet's just say that the fit on the kit lived up to AMT's nickname - Almost There. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernurd Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) Love the 37 Chevy. I built 37 Cabriolet version in exactly the same color with chrome reverse wheels and a 409. Had body-frame warpage problems with mine. The boys at AMT couldn't seem to get their parts to fit right for some reason, but they did make a nice stovebolt for this one .

Jim B Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Thanks, LM. Despite its faults, it looks ok on the shelf. It's definably not going to win any contests! Yes, the Stovebolt in this kit is quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
