deuces wild Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 😎👍 The amt '60 Starliner kit has the same exact engine with ever more induction detail... One intake is the dual quad setup with Holley carbs and also the same 3x2 version as in the '62 'bird kit.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having the original kit back in 1961 and the engine wasn't anything to write home about. I bet this one doesn't have the metal rod axles.

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Yup, this is a pretty nice kit. And though everything in the box is retooled, the body parts are not a bad fit on the original kit body. I learned this while prepping to do a custom '63 coupe from a gluebomb (I wanted to do a lightly chopped coupe, and I prefer the '63 side trim and sculpturing). The original bumpers and hood were pretty awfully glooey, and the originals had the molded-in chrome headlights, so I tried the newer-tool '62 parts. Close. Real close. The chassis snuggles up under the early-tool bodies just fine too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
