the AMT 76 caprice reissue

[62rebel]

i bought this one basically for the trailer in the kit, but was fiddling with the body and got an idea for an "old school" custom/lowrider model. i filled the quarter windows and the rear window opening with styrene following the contour. i dug up the custom seats from the beverly hillbillies truck and used epoxy to copy the pattern and make a stamp to emboss new seats for the 'paler. i envision a simulated padded "carson" type top and button tufted interior. i even have the AMT 66 t-bird landau irons for the top. the headliner area will be embossed with the button tuft also. i have some Olds bucket seats from 4-4-2 kit and console to put in it also. so; wide gangsta whitewalls on chrome reverse and moons; or the custom wire wheels from the '65 riviera?

thinking through this one makes me really miss the superfly gran prix kit.

i absolutely LOVE this kit.Still working on the first of four i bought,just doing it as a box stock so i can display it along side the '75 caprice i have.

Plan on a lowrider as well as a pro street version as well.
