Beeg Juanito Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 This is one ya don't see every day! I think that these were made by P.M.C. Some had no interior and some did. The ones with no interior usually warped beyond hope. The ones with the interior (as is this one) were made of a different plastic that didn't warp! They both had a metal chassis (promo style) with a flywheel. I have changed the chassis to an AMT 57 ford. It has Revell 59 retrac chrome. The go cart is from an old 1963 Ford f-100 kit. (with a parts box 650 triumph engine) The Harley is from The Revell Ford/Harley Davidson kit. 1
ChrisBcritter Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Man, that looks mean in primer and mags. Was yours originally molded in red? I've got one in progress; started with a bare body and basically gutted a Skyliner for everything else (fortunately as you know the parts fit very well) including the engine compartment and hood. Thinking about white and gold two-tone with chrome reverses and wide whites plus a '59 Meteor grille (made using a '59 Mercury grille).
TooOld Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Great looking Ranchero ! I'd sure like to find one of those !
mrknowetall Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I think your build qualifies as a "save", and a very nice one at that! Great looking ride~

Good luck with yours and it sounds like you have some really good ideas.
