Speedfreak Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I love that Corvair John, those colors (blue/gold) look perfect for that car. The wheels/tires look great too. Mean looking little thing. Nice builds man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Regarding the Olds topless roadster kit....a while back there was a post with photos of some of the "hangers" from an in-depth Round 2 tooling audit of the old AMT/Ertl archives...one of the hangers showed most of the unique parts for the '64 Topless Olds kit....but IIRC there were a few key parts still missing. Maybe someone remembers that post and the pictures that went with it? TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedfreak Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Nice looking Mustang, Bill. Tim, are 'hangers' the things that the parts for the kits are on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The "hangers" in this case were like coat hangers, and each one held a sleeve of clear plastic with all the parts runners for a given mold inside. Round 2 had apparently contracted for an extremely well qualified individual to go through the tooling bank and run test shots of everything there. (Reportedly this same exercise revealed all the parts of the original AMT California Hauler kit, which were welded off in the Peterbilt 352 cabover tool (e.g., it was actually a shared tool incorporating individual parts for the 359, individual parts for the 352, and parts common to both kits. As most of you know well, the California Hauler 359 was rumored to have been scrapped decades ago.) The pictures I saw clearly showed most of the components of the funny car version of the '64 Olds.
