In true 1960s style of Show &Go, a white interior Metalflake Red roll bar and dash. Looking for a steering wheel. We’re getting close.

Just do it Daniel, ya know ya want to……

Thanks Bob, ya can’t go wrong with race car red.

Thanks Ricky, I’m sure it will.

I got it painted, Testors little bottle Red Metalflake #1529, Splash 2K clear. Engine built, now doing the fitting in the chassis and body. I removed most of the front crossmember and scratch built the front axle. Changed the wheels.

Really good save!

Great work! Just beautiful! Love this!

Great job capturing 1965, beautiful build!

Beautiful builds!

I sanded the roof smooth to remove the cloth insert, a filled roof is much cooler. I stripped the chrome off the motor and filled the sink marks. Trying to try some different wheels, going for the right look. I also removed the running boards.

I’m hoping Bob, I got a job 😢. So this is going to be kept simple. I really like these years of Fords also. You don’t see many as gassers though.

Super nice build!

It will let that putty dry real good

Very cool build!

I agree they look white in the photos. Nothing is written in stone.

For those of you that followed my Billy the Kid Demon build, you may recall that I stated I would build a couple out of the box builds before tackling another in depth build. So here’s what I’m working on now. The AMT 36 Ford has been around for many years, reissued in many different versions. A convertible, a three window coup, a five window coupe, and a chopped three window coupe. I have several of these kits including the original small box version. My favorite version of this kit is the one with the Gasser box art. This kit comes with a cardboard diorama of a drag strip. If my memory is correct, AMT also released similar kits including the 57 Chevy, and the 56 Ford. I decided I liked the 5 window version for my build and proceed to build it in 1960s gasser style. The roofs are separate in this kit and are notorious for poor fitting. I glued and clamped one side, and after it dried I glued and clamped the other. Doing it in this way kept bodywork to a minimum. I cut out the floor pans from the frame to remove the molded in exhaust. The kit comes with Flat Head and Pontiac engines, but I thought the AMT parts pack 427 would be better.

Really looking good DA!

This is gonna be good, can’t wait to see where you take it!

Hey Bill, I love what your doing here! Beautiful work. Here’s what the Sox & Martin book by Jim Schild has to say.

Very nice builds!

Beautiful build! Yep that old Revell kit is a chore to build. You did a great job on it!

Very nice build!

A very beautiful ambitious project Michael, amazing work, looks great!

Very sharp!

Really looking good, you got this!
