Falcon Modified Stocker - 24 hour (and more) build

I finished this old AMT kit today.  It was supposed to be done Sunday to make it in 24 hours, but due to other commitments during the weekend and a massive number of fit issues it got done today.  

The Tamiya Chrome Yellow went on well out of the can, as did the other Tamiya paints I used.  

It had been in my stash for 24 years, so glad it finally made it to the shelf!!

Nicely done. I have 2 in the queue, a '66 Impala and the '65 Faitlane. I tried to use the kit '66 chassis, but wasn't able to get the rear low enough. The bodies are great to put on old NASCAR donor chassis.

I have this one to but I hate how amt destroyed the 69 falcon tooling to make this. My dad's first car, a 1966 falcon (which he still has today in running and driving order) has been a car that I have always loved. I would love to build one of the big bodied falcons (66-69) whether it be stock or drag, I just don't care for the modified stocker. I have always wanted a amt annual from the 60s my absolute favorite falcon years are the 66-67 because they are the oly big bodied falcons with round taillights. They are just impossible to find though. 

Ranting aside your falcon looks awesome 👌. Glad you got that one on the shelf.

It's a real shame indeed, I always wanted to build a model of my friends '69 that got us to high school for 2 years. I thought about kit bashing your AMT kit with the Trumpeter '64, but I think it's a massive job. Anyway nice job on the stocker and I feel your pain on the replica of the real one!
