AMT 67 Chevell Pro Street

[Spruslayer]

Heres a fresh build from the dungeon,paint is Testors purple met flake over black primer.I did'nt like the fit of the kit front tires on the rims so i used some tires from the extras box,lowered he rear about .03 and the PE is from Model Car Garage.The engine detailing is from various wire and turned a coil out of steel.,dont care for the plug wires though cause they scale out at almost .75? I was pleasantly  surprised with the detail in this AMT kit for a change.

Commits welcome and thanks for lookin!

Pretty sharp looking! Well done and model on!

Oh yeah, that is well done.

Very sharp indeed, well done!

Great looking build. I like the color as it goes with the general theme of the build. Your must have been one of the earliest kits since you have the stock rear body and tail lights. I have a reissue I picked up and the stock rear end does not seem to be in the kit any longer.

Really? Didn't know that. The Revell PS '67 Chevelle has always had a non-stock rear end from day one, but I wasn't aware AMT had changed theirs. Sure you're not thinking of the Revell kit?

I suspect David has the Revell and AMT kits confused.  AMT always had stock and Revell always had a custom rear panel.

That's how the kit has always been since it was originally released back in the '90s  Mike. 

You did a great job on it and the color suits it well.

Thanks guys, my bad. Mine is the Revell Street Burner '67 Chevelle. I didn't even realize that AMT had a Pro Street '67 Chevelle. I only knew of their stock version.

All four of those kits came out about the same time--the two stockers first, the two prostreets not long thereafter. Early '90s. (Hard to believe that was almost 30 years ago, huh?)

Thanks for the reminder about how time has gone by. I try not to think of such things. An old saying "I would have taken better care of myself if I had known I would live this long". Becomes truer every day.

Awesome!
