Scottnkat Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Here's my version of Wendell Scott's '66 Galaxie. This was based off the AMT kit. The gauge insert didn't fit, so I had to modify the dash to make it appear as it should have. The pad on the floor was replicated by using athletic tape. The shocks, rollcage and headlight covers are scratch-built. The car was lowered all the way around. The decals are by PowerSlide. I don't like the kit-supplied rear window straps, so I'll be replacing those. Here's the dash the engine and the chassis Edited October 24, 2013 by Scottnkat
Silver Foxx Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 A nice looking build , well done , I have a set of these decals and your build has got me thinking about having a go at it .

Old Coyote Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Very nice build sir .......... looks really good
DanR Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Is that an aftermarket grille? If not, how did you remove the molded in emblem so cleanly?
Scottnkat Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 It's not an aftermarket grill at all (I'm poor with six kids and can't afford aftermarket anything). I don't remember the specifics of this build, but I usually use a scribing tool, thin file, or sandpaper
Ben Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Is that the Fred Lorenzen 66 Galaxie kit that's out right now? If so, is it box stock? I'm just wondering what the kit looks like built.
Scottnkat Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Nope - this was made from the stock AMT Galaxie kit. I did pick up the Lorenzen kit after I built this.
Ben Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Does the Lorenzen kit have the deep reverse wheels, stock car tires, cage, etc. or is it basically a production car with some race parts added?
Scottnkat Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 I'm sorry, but I've not opened mine yet so I have no idea what it's really like. Maybe someone else can chime in if they know.
Lagib Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Is that the Fred Lorenzen 66 Galaxie kit that's out right now? If so, is it box stock? I'm just wondering what the kit looks like built. The Lorenzen kit is a 65, not a 66.
Ben Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 The Lorenzen kit is a 65, not a 66. Yea, I noticed that after I made the post. My bad. I wish someone would do a review on the kit so I can see what it will look like built.
