BIGTRUCK Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 This is the AMT reissue of the MPC Switchers kit. This one had mant options for engine, wheels and body (roof ,pickup bed ,turtle deck). I chose to do the hardtop with pickup bed and big velocity stacks and paint it with a 70's flavor color to go along with the decals. Dark green Fuzzy fur carpet . Only thing thats not kit are the rear tires, they are solid rubber Mickey Thompsons wides , the kit tires were not wide enough. This was the old Buyers Choice release and had no warp in the kit except headers and I had to modify them, the decals good and of course I had to remove chrome off one entire tree, on some kits they love to chrome everything. In some of the pictures I show other optional looks with the extra body parts. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoMoCo66 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looks good i like the 70s t feel. I'm thinking on building this kit. How was the fit, were the decals OK, how many extra parts are there, could you move the engine and body forward? Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response. Fit was fine on mine except headers. Decals were fine, and the extra stuff : Engine parts , roof, rear body and wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Metallic Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Very cool. I saw a build of this kit awhile back on Facebook and fell in love because the body style was so unique. I eventually found that kit so I'll be building one myself. Your build shows what a little care can do with this kit to turn in into something special.
