StanGlover Posted March 9 Posted March 9 (edited) Here’s my build of the AMT/ERTL Plymouth Prowler with Trailer. Painted in Extreme Lacquer Purplelicious with Krylon matte gray interior and top. Fit and finish on this kit was tricky: the headlight pods don’t fit in the body with the chrome inner headlight buckets mounted, the front suspension is incredibly fragile, and the rear tires don’t fit in the wheel wells. I had to crudely grind out the chassis and remove the rear sway bar and upper dual shocks to get the wheels in. I managed to get it together and looking ok. At final assembly, I realized that I assembled one of the front wheels with the tire tread backwards. This kit has those hard solid rubber tires that you have to assemble the rim halves around, so no chance of fixing the tread direction. These Prowlers are such cool looking cars; it’s kind of a shame they were panned by enthusiasts since they were “only” v6 automatics (and wildly impractical). It’s shocking Chrysler even built these cars in the first place! Edited March 9 by StanGlover Added additional information 6

DJMar Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Ya gotta love a purple Prowler! I know the full AMT kit is a bit of a bear to put together, but you nailed it. If there is one car that sums up the economic boom & giddy optimism of the mid to late 1990s, I think this is it. 1
