AMT 36 Ford

[Yeah Nah]

Just finished this one today. Mostly a box art build and done with craft acrylics with floor shine clear. I just posted an older build of the same kit done as a stock roadster over in the model cars thread.

Thanks for looking.

[afx]

Nice work.

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

[Zippi]

I really like this one.  Love the Pontiac 389 in the business end.  Great looking 36 Ford.

[Supernurd]

Beautiful car!?

[restoman]

Nice work!

[6bblbird]

So clean! Great box art rendition!

[M W Elky]

That’s a beautiful build of a great kit. It makes for a nice gasser

[Phirewriter]

Very cool! Really like box art builds of vintage kits

Fine looking model. I just love love love '36 Fords, and this old dinosaur still builds up really nice in the hands of somebody who cares enough to deal with its shortcomings.

Thanks Bill. Oh yeah, shortcomings it definitely has: let's just say that engine is a very 'snug' fit! And as to having to put those headers on AFTER the engine went in...... ask my wife about all the new swear words I invented. But to me there's this 'it' factor that these old AMTs have that keep me coming back.

Super nice build!!

Getting the top in place and looking like it belongs there is a big hurdle with these. I have some of the 3 and 5 window issues, also come resin chopped tops. They build up well, as yours shows.

Cool build.  Nice that you built it like the box art.

Thanks Bob. The top fit was a bit tricky. I didn't have to resort to putty (which I try to avoid at all costs on any build) but there was a 1/16 or so gap on both sides where the rear door line meets the roof that I filled with plastic sheet.

I have a third kit yet to build that will definitely getting the custom top-chop and rear wheel skirts.

This is a stunning build

I dug one out (was going to sell it at a show) and the top graft looked good. I did use a little filler, right now it is in primer. I have a couple of resin chop-tops in my stash. A 3 and a 5 window. The dry fit is pretty good.

Looks great and love the Steelies. Old school cool.

[Modlbldr]

36 Ford!! One of my favorites. Your box art build looks great!

Later-

This and the AMT '40 Ford, you cannot ever go wrong building one. One of those kits that are nice box stock-ish builds.

[Mopar2]

Nice detailed build...
