AMT 68 Shelby done as a Sandy Elliot race team car.

This has been a long and painful process, but I'm as happy as I can be with it. The paint alone took 5 attempts. There are still flaws in it, but acceptable to me. I couldn't find a good shot of the undercarriage, so I used what they showed on the AutoArt 1/18th scale version. It's a bit darker brownish red than what I have, but I wasn't going to go by a can of paint just for that, lol. I may try to get a shot of the chassis, but you'll notice big block Chevy headers as I had none for a Ford to spare.The tail lights are reflective red tape. Sloppy job on the carb detail, but that's fixable.  I need to figure out the best way to match the car color with the color I use for the decals.

MPC Country Charger

Ugh! If you have this kit, test fit EVERYTHING! Especially on the rear of the car. The bumper wouldn't fit AT ALL, so I cut off the lower valance, fit the bumper, and made a new valance. I just sprayed 2K clear over the existing black molded car. Wheels and tires are resin I got somewhere on eBay. I fixed the grill issues after I took the pictures.

Amazing how good the black plastic looks with the 2K clear over it. Well done Duece.

Paint is dark green metallic, probably Duplicolor with a pearl metallic flip flop clear. Interior and frame are Sublime Lime.  Next to the last dragster I'll ever build again.

1967 and 1968 Camaros.  One for me, and one for the owner of the actual car.  I used a 68 for mine and I found a 67 for his, which he actually has.  I used the vent windows from my 66 GTO model (above.)  I don't think they really did anything new when they made the 68 from the 67, except add vent windows.

There are a few obvious differences, but some things I had to scrounge around for, and unfortunately, I couldn't find enough to do both cars identical.  Since the photo of his car was taken, he switched to skinny black wall front tires.

1964 Plymouth Fury.  A great kit.  Good fit on parts.  My beef is with the fact that there was no room for mistakes on the glass installation.  Not enough "gluing" area.  Quite messy for anyone using the orange tube.  I use Mod Podge, so clean up is easy.
