2023 Builds

Recommended Posts

I took an extended break this summer, so it wasn’t the most prolific year, but I am enjoying the slower build pace quite a bit - 4 to 6 cars per year definitely scratches my model itch, while also allowing me to see some sunlight 😂 I nearly snuck in a fifth build, but still have a bit of work to do. Hope to have it done and photographed in the next couple of weeks. Happy 2024 everybody! On to the cars…

Man your cars look awesome!! Was the '66 mustang an amt kit? If so, did you change the chassis? I noticed the inner fenders in the engine bay didn't look like the ones from the amt kit. It looks way more real with the inner fenders you have on it. great build!!

thanks! yep - the mustang is the AMT 66 bashed with the AMT 67.  i cut the inner fenders off the 67 and grafted it to the 66. I also used the 67 engine.  It's still not totally accurate but its way closer than it would have been out of the box

Beautiful work! Glad to see I am not the only one kit bashing the 1967 AMT kit to make their 66 AMT mustang builds so much better! :) 

thanks! its a shame the kit is so basic on its own, but it was a good opportunity to try out some new things.  i'll be way more prepared for the next one.
