AMT 36 Ford Roadster Stock

[Yeah Nah]

Did this a while back and after a bit of a spruce up showing it here along with the newly finished drag version over in the appropriate Under Glass thread. A box art build using rattle can enamels with airbrushed acrylics for the interior. 

I love this old Trophy kit and have a third one that will be definitely be getting the top chop custom treatment!

Thanks for looking.

Nice work.

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

[Zippi]

That's a good looking 36 Ford Roadster.  Nicely done.

[Jim B]

Great looking Ford.  Love the color combination.

[slusher]

Gorgeous clean build, sir!

[Andrew McD]

Very nice build.  Some of the most realistic spark plug wiring I’ve ever seen.  How did you do the plug wire boot ends?

[TonyK]

Nice, clean replica.

[Rattlecan Dan]

Sweet-looking stock rendition. Nicely done.

[Supernurd]

Beautiful car! ?

Beautiful looking roadster. Don't see one built as a stock vehicle very often, and the colors and finishes look great. 

[Hard_2_Handle_454]

Love the color combo

[Kah puts]

That’s a pearl ?

[karbuildr]

Very nice build. I think that's the first one I've seen built stock. I really like the green with black fenders. Well done.

Thanks Andrew. The wire itself is the usual aftermarket stuff. The boot ends are short lengths of insulation (that just happens to fit over perfectly) stripped from suitable size wire- in this case the cable from old landline telephones which has multiple strands of assorted colours.

[PappyD340]

Thanks Gary, good tip on the boot ends!

Beautiful box art build. Love these old fat fenders. Thanks for sharing.

[Classicgas]

Very nice.

Great paint work and color combination.

You know, I honestly think we often forget how pretty these cars were because we’ve become so accustomed to seeing them all hacked up.

I’m sorry, but it’s just my opinion that it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to improve upon the looks of many of these vintage cars.
