brett Posted January 21, 2012 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
RodneyBad Posted January 21, 2012 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.
brett Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 Yeah i know, I'l have to puy them in the interior door panels when I make them
Dr. Cranky Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 You are on an amazing roll, Brett, in 2012. Keep 'em coming.
Rob McKee Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Looks great Brett. I have that kit kicking around here somewhere. I'll watch your build for ideas. Thanks, Rob
brett Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks guys , Got a bit done over the last couple of days. second time its been painted this week :x working nights and not sleeping during the day isnt good for modelling skills.Still got a bit to do on engine, interior and paint but heres how she is right now Colours are Dupli color Metal specks purple, transparent yellow and a Dupli color orange down below
Bartster Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 NOW you're talkin'! Never realized what could be done with a snap kit. Poppin' color combo. Beautiful ride!
wraith Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have this model that i am merging with a diecast for a cool Pro-Touring car and I have the older Pro-Street one as well that I am ressurecting. yours gives me some ideas to do to both when i dig them back out.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Talk about a POPPING paint job! Beautiful. Nice work, Mr. B. Keep it going.
diymirage Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 this is great we dont see enough prostreet mopars on here we dont see enough post 71 cudas on here this is a win win sih-ti-asjun
brett Posted January 29, 2012 Author 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
brett Posted February 5, 2012 Author 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?
Bartster Posted February 5, 2012 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........
brett Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 decided to go with the huge lakers, finished up the fan belt and made a roll cage
Bartster Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Once again I stand corrected. The pipes look great!
Modellpularn Posted February 6, 2012 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...
