AMT T TOP

[Mad Slammer]

Hi… This is an old AMT/Matchbox Snap kit from the 80’s. I don’t remember how I got it but a couple of years ago found another one on eBay.  It’s originally based on a 80’s Dodge or AMC something on a CJ chasis… So I guess it’s an SUV… Anyways, that is how it was ??‍♂️…

I built a chasis with simplified suspension and some details… I started it a long time ago, now I went to work on it again correcting some things and trying to finish it this time around. Well, here’s where we’re at…

I’ve also got a couple of those. It reminds me of an AMC show car.  

On the one I started, I also opened up the rear window. I’ve been playing with a Jeepster chassis.  Overall the kit is toylike and the pieces are heavy, but a fun starting point for a project.

I don't know what those are but I know that you will make them cool.

Your styling is a vast improvement over the original design. The low and pro vibe brings this into current century.

Great job fabricating the rear panel and hatch. 

A very interesting vehicle overall.

Weird looking car... But I really like your approach with that stance and the engine... ?

Some small progress…

You might consider adding some louvers to the trunk lid to let the tire smoke out!
