It's hard to believe this came out of an AMT box. This kit is very well engineered and detailed. Unusually high parts count and plenty of delicate pieces and some of the best chrome I have ever seen. Nice and smooth with no dirt at all. I was really impressed and it went together with no problems at all, but it needed a few scratch-built details. Refinished in DuPont lacquers; engine wired and plumbed; scratch built fuel pump and fuel filter, throttle and choke cable, generator, and distributor, and ignition coil. Scratch built interior door handles and window cranks, shifter, parking brake lever, trunk hold down straps and side lift handles. Very enjoyable, but time consuming build. Spent about a month doing it. I realllly like these old kits. I wish the old time engineers were still around; we need more kits like this.

Is this a re-post? I seem to recall the teddy bear. In any case, I love to see these old-timers being built stock, and this is very well done.

Yes, i remember the bear behind the steeringwheel. Like your Ford. Looks really nice.

Very clean job - nice color combo, I've seen way too many of these kits get hacked, with no consideration of style :wacko::blink: - it's a pleasure to see a stock one done up right - thanks Andy :)
