last build for 2023/first for 2024 - Amt 66 Fairlane 427

[eran_k]

so few days ago i started on the amt 66 Fairlane, so far i finished the engine, interior and will be moving on to paint the body soon.

interior is kind of boring being all black...but came out nice with some touches of wood grain and chrome.

body will be painted MCW Wimbledon white enamel.

FYI - Steering wheel is upside down  Horn ring is on the bottom so that it doesn't block speedometer.

Cool build, almost bought a 67 R code back in early 80’s for a few hundred( blown up 427)

got some more done, glass, tires, bumpers and lights all installed. need to complete the trim and decals. it's funny but the kit doesn't come with rear view and side mirrors...

Your interior detailing in regard to the door panels looks really good and it looks like you've pulled off a good looking white paint job Eran.

Did you hand paint the wood trim? I would like to see your process.

Yes i did, quite simple actually:

first i use some sort of base color (any type of brown to your liking, i used quit light brown)

then i use i tiny brush and paint the grain with a dark color freehand

once its dry i give at a coat or two of Tamiya clear orange

that's it.

so calling this done, i opted to not use all the race decals and build it as a "Road" car, since it doesn't have any race accessories or race tires.
