And one more old AMT hot rod

[Terry Jessee]

This is an original AMT Deuce coupe from 1961 or thereabouts. I built it for "Hot Rod Model Kits." It's on the opening page of the AMT chapter.

This is pretty much right out of the box. The pinstripe decals are from Woodland Scenics' Pine Car series of dry transfer decals.

Just fun to do.

I like it a lot! Very period perfect for 1961 and probably would have won a few contests. You did an excellent job on this build. The AMT '32 has always been one of my favorites and one of my first builds as a kid. We did a community build project on the forum last year with AMT '32s. This one would look good over there! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=62896 Well sorry, looked back at this topic just now and appears all my pictures via Photobucket are gone. Still there are some nice '32s for your viewing.

Nicely done ! These types of builds are what I enjoy the most...after all, they're what got me interested in the first place over fifty years ago !

Looks great Terry as I just finished one like it this past summer in Bahama Blue.

Hey there:

This is (I think) ---- the definition of success……clearly an enjoyable build of a great old (original) subject…..

I appreciate the incredible builds (to the new high tech kits) and the lengths to which many on the forum go to complete them --- aftermarket parts --- kit-bashing ---- etc etc etc etc ----- mods mods and more mods ------

---- but this one is really what it is all about ----

Simple build ---- very nice workmanship ---- and clearly AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL ---- you enjoyed it!!!!!!

It does not get much better than this!!! ----- Thanks for sharing this one!!!!
