brett Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The old AMT snap fast kit's getting a bit of an upgrade. Body mold lines ie around windows and doors was nearly non existent and when I finally managed to cut the hood out found it was about 2.5 mm thick. Made some gutter channels for the front guards using a top sportsman floor for the munting huge tubs and rear suspension,Front and rear tires are from the AMT pro street superebee as is the basic engine. Parts box supercharger and hat, resin seats and carbs . Stance is as it sits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Your off to a Great start. I like the way it's looking. I don't think having the speakers on the wheel tubs would work realistically tho.. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks guys,Got a bit more time to do some modelling today,so after a few hours work it looks almost the same .need to redo a front seat as I changed colour and it lifted some flocking anyways, drive shafts on headers are on one side so far, glass took a bit of modding to fit ,head and tail lights are in blah blah heres some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 got the foiling done yesterday,and polished the paint. Made up the exhausts not sure about those tho. Lake pipes or just dumped out the sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Brett, I don't think the pipes will ever get noticed with that paint job stealing the show,lol..again, I've never thought about "fixing" a snap kit. You got me thinking... I got a '65 Coronet that needs alot of help........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 decided to go with the huge lakers, finished up the fan belt and made a roll cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Once again I stand corrected. The pipes look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modellpularn Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Cool project Brett! And the paint job is amazing, a popper as Virgil put it! That wawy yellow divider was a cool idea. I did a Chevy truck with the same colors, maybe a year or so ago. (But it's not finished yet.... ) A suggestion: remove them clunky bumper guards, please?! They stick out like a sore thumb...
