deuces wild Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 ?? 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

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, 2024 Posted February 1, 2024 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
espo Posted February 7, 2024 Posted February 7, 2024 Like the body color and the chrome trim looks nice and cleanly done. 1
Big John Posted February 18, 2024 Posted February 18, 2024 Ahhhh, I remember thos days of Real leather seats in metallic finishes. Our Lincoln ha powder blue, so comfy! 1
landman Posted February 22, 2024 Author Posted February 22, 2024 The car is done, so they all gathered around for a group shot. Then with its siblings. 2
