skymnky721 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Hi all,,heres a true basket case,,started out as a freebie at a NNL show,,1/4 assembled,,no tires/wheels..crappy paint lob,no mtr. So I hand built the chassis,,roll bar,,mtr out of the leftover part bx. shortened the rearend,added drag slicks,,ect. Hand made wheelie bars,parachute in back,,made new glass for it. And used leftover decals from various sheets. It had 4 coats of paint on it,,had to hit it with 10 cycles of eazy-off oven cleaner to get it down to bare plastic. Its a AMT ERTL kit I believe,,Cheers!
Modlbldr Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 That is a beautiful save. I like the wheels on it. Not your average, but they look good on it. Great job. Later-
'08SEAL Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Haha. The title is FAR-LANE and my name is Lane. Good work by the way.
car-man666 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 there goes a nice freebie,, in the hands of a master would make a handfull of plastic look like a diamond, great work, love those rims . you got me some inspiration for some that i have in my leftovers.couple of more pics would have been app.
BOSWELL891 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Looks good I'm wanting to build that kit to replicate my dads he used to have
Chris guthro Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I just received my amt 66 fairlane kit, i cant wait to start it. i just wish i bought the 427 one and not the gt/gta
jerseyjunker1 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 great save. this model looks like a show winner to me.keep on saving them. and whatever you do don't let them get into my hands.
CorvairJim Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Great save, my friend! Ain't Glue Bombs terrific? I have more fun rebuilding them than I do building fresh plastic! (I just wish I could find a source of "Freebies" myself... )
