crazyjim Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 AMT 1971 Duster finished in HOK Galaxy Grey with a few coats of clear, then sanded and polished (my 2nd time). I've been installing oil dipsticks, radiator hoses, battery cables, and brake lines into my builds lately and this one has them. I liked the seats and so I made a mold for them and castings for other builds. The Duster also has Pegasus wheels and the Brembo disc brakes that I cast.
whale392 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Looks good Jim! Just one question: Where is the normal license plate?
highway Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Looks good Jim! Just one question: Where is the normal license plate? If you are talking about his bars, look on the front Bradley!
diymirage Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 awesome looking car the paint looks about a mile deep there are a few things i dont like though (and thats just me, but a dusters HAS to have a front bench seat, i know if i ever get one it will) on a more technical note though...if im not mistaking those are directional tires and the front ones are backwards all things considered though, i really like it
whale392 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Ah, he moved them...sneaky Jim! Being as Florida doesn't require front plates, I failed to look that hard at the front. The bars are the Vietnam Service Ribbon.
crazyjim Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 Yup - Vietnam Service. It's goes on all my builds. Rear plate (tag) reads WW NAM, as in World War Vietnam. And it's a real plate (tag) here in FLA. I didn't move them - like you said, we only need a rear plate (tag) down here. The kit came with bucket seats and if it didn't, I would have put buckets in it, as buckets are my personal preference. You know, I didn't pay any attention to the direction of the tires. Sorry. The spindles are glued in and I'd probably damage soemthing if I tried to remove and correct them. And thank you guys for taking a look.
stewart Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Nice build jim. Those wheels look great on it. STewart
mikemodeler Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Nice clean build you have there Jim. I like the color choices and the wheels give it a modern look. Keep em coming!
crazyjim Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks fellas. They're just Pegasus wheels but I added valve stems.
sjordan2 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Excellent, very classy, with outstanding chrome trim work.
