AMT 1966 FORD FAIRLANE SUPER STOCK OF HUBERT PLATT’ S PAUL HARVEY FORD

[M W Elky]

I used the amt kit for most of everything, the wheels came from revell’s thunderbolt, the slicks are amt the headers are custom made to fit the chassis. I have lost count of how many times I glued my fingers to the body attaching all the side trim and trim for the vinyl top. I painted it tamyia dark blue which almost looks black which I believe was the original color of the car . The decals are old Billy gooche. This was a complicated build getting the body’s trim right and sanded around. Until next time thanks for looking ?, Mike

Cool Super Stock!

What a brute. Top build!

Those headers could not have been fun.

Build looks pretty cool. Never saw this car before

I always liked the body style on the 66 Ford Fairlane.  Nice looking Super Stocker.

I can only imagine the "fun" adding all the side trim must have entailed, but you persevered.  That is one tough looking car, well done!  In the past I also built one of these as a fictional super stock, and used the headers from a Thunderbolt.  Not an easy task at all and almost shelved the whole project as a result lol!

Yeah I have the decals to do the silver and black car of Hubert Platt , but I’m so not looking forward to that side trim again . Be tween the wheel well’s is made up of 3 pieces. I’ve built another 66 FAIRLANE and used the headers from the amt 69 Torino they worked ok

Chroming a Thunderbolt is equally as fun.

By the way folks, Model Cars magazine #222 has two of Michael's builds in it.
