Custom Mike Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Bob, Evergreen makes some small half-round that works great for trim, I've used it a few times myself with great results!
TooOld Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks Mike. I used .030" 1/2 round rod from Evergreen . The original molding was .060" , big difference !
TooOld Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Finished it up today ! I'll post more pictures " Under Glass " in a little while . Thanks for looking 1 BOB .
Custom Mike Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Looks great Bob, I'm gonna go look for it Under Glass!
Dr. Cranky Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Very cool models being produced here. Keep 'em coming.
Chuck Most Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 I keep seeing a stretched Gremlin somewhere in this rendering...
Austin T Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Now chuck,that is BEGGING to be made in model form.I see all sorts of styling elements in there.
Casey Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I keep seeing a stretched Gremlin somewhere in this rendering... Gremlin + one of those custom Renwal thingamajigs = ^^^^^ ?? A bustleback Gremlin would be rather classy, no?
Chuck Most Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Gremlin + one of those custom Renwal thingamajigs = ^^^^^ ?? Eh... not too keen on cutting into an old Renwal kit, but I do have an appropriate leading edge for something like this. A bustleback Gremlin would be rather classy, no? Emphasis on 'no'.
Foxer Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) There are things being done to AMC bodies in here that shouldn't be mentioned in polite company! And all are creative AND good looking! Edited October 20, 2012 by Foxer
Chuck Most Posted November 12, 2012 Author Posted November 12, 2012 Remember that Matador? The paint is Rustoleum 'Lagoon', which is a suede. I'm kind of toying with the idea of leaving it in suede- guess I'll see if it grows on me.
Custom Mike Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Nice color, I may have to grab some onf that for myself! How much more is left Chuck?
Casey Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I have made very little progress on the model, but I found some very helpful information in both C.L. Zinn's "AMX Photo Archive" book and this unknown magazine(?) blurb, found on an AMC forum: I though the windshield appeared to be "leaned back" from stock, and this article seems to confirm that. Ditto for the roof cutouts which I could just make out in other pics, but wasn't quite sure why they were present. I need to find this August '68 issue!
Chuck Most Posted November 25, 2012 Author Posted November 25, 2012 Nice color, I may have to grab some onf that for myself! How much more is left Chuck? Won't be much left, I think the color will also work well on an AMT White Western Star semi I'm working on, and that will more than likely kill the rest of the can.
jeffs396 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) It's been awhile since I've had a chance to work on the Pacer, but saw this linky on a Jeep forum and thought it might renew some interest in this CBP: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/02/11/rare-amc-amx3-prototype-on-display-at-chicago-auto-show/?intcmp=features#ixzz2KdPs6aZ7 This beauty is on display at the Chicago Auto Show now!
