AMT 57 Ford

Opted for the Paxton Supercharger.

Nice work but the amt air cleaner box isn’t accurate. JFYI.

OK what should it look like?

I’m also curious about what it’s “supposed” to look like.

Was planning on using it in my 56. AMT is usually pretty good about their part’s being accurate… but there’s alway’s an exeption to that rule.

I don’t know what the air box looks like either, ‘course I never saw an engine mounted on the roof either. So I’ll just keep watchin’ to see how this plays out.

Do like the red and white = classic in my mind.

Duster - thats the latest in cold air intakes [:P]

Lol!not mounted in the roof!I just wanted the engine and body in the same shot!

Revells 57 Del Rio has it.

Wow!AMT really dropped the ball!To be fair the instructions do name it as a custom option.Never represent it as a factory option.

If you want the correct parts, I have them. They are yours I just need you to cover postage. I will send the complete setup. Pm me if interested.

PM sent!

This it is an older tool.so the exhaust is molded into the chassis.some touch up is needed but not too bad!

You may want to paint the fuel tank steel.

Yes that is the plan,tie rod too!

philo426 That is going to be a great thing to see (now that I “understand” your clever plan to mount the motor under the hood )

And a Nice Going Award for midnightprowler for his assist.

Discovered my nefarious ploy,did you?LOl[prte]Ok I have finished painting the body and the two tone interior…working on his little brother too!

I’m working on the parts for you. Hang in there.

Ok!thanks!

I opted for the 3 on the tree manual trans set up.
