Feel free- I'd love to see them! :blink:

I'll highjack my own thread here, because there's actually another guy working on this same kit right now! That's got to be the first time since 1962 two guys have been building an AMT '62 Connie at the same time! :D He's using a few of the kit custom parts-

Here's my '61

and my '67

I have another '61 to restore, probably as the other '61's alter ego, and a '63 Sedan, which will also be a replica stock build, probably in a Turquoise color combo.

YEAH, RON!!!! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!! Both gorgeous, just absolutely gorgeous. Gives me something to shoot for when I start filling in the blanks to my '60's Connie collection! B)

Decided to take the 'lazy route' with my console, I just nabbed one from a '97 Mustang. While I was at it I lifted both buckets from same, and added a Lincoln star from my parts box- no idea what kit it is from. (Anyone?) Inching ever closer...

Thanks, Tonio!

QUESTION...

I'm thinking of cutting the roof off the '62 and using it on the common-as-dirt '65 convertible body, then possibly having somebody cast it (if there aren't already ten or fifteen such bodies already available), but here's the clincher- I'm thinking of using the '65's quasi-bubbletop station wagon on the '62 body. Thoughts? Yea or nay?

If you did cut the roof off, I'm interested in taking it (the roof) off your hands.

That one's already been grafted to the '65 body... it's just a matter of doing the bodywork (which I hate) and getting it looking good. Might have to blow the dust off that one and get back to work on it...
