Has anyone here chopped an AMT Chevy Fleetline? If so, how did you do it? *NM*
Not me, but here's my build. *NM* *PIC*
Looks good. Where did the grille come from? *NM*
It was a resin piece I picked up at a swap meet many moons ago. *NM*
The Revell Chopped 48 Ford Coupe with the fadeaway fenders has a 46-48 Olds grille that may work. *NM*
Nor I. Just finished one, and it is tad lower than than yours, David. L.O.L. Love the kit, have 4 more. Would LOVE to find the coupe(Galaxie's) *NM*
Boomer, Galaxies Coupe is the 46-48 Chev kit, this is the AMT 51 Chev....having said that I too would love to find the Galaxie 46-48 Chev Coupe kit...........lol. *NM*
I've never seen ANY of the ,Galaxie Coupe on shelf in a hobby store, nor on a vendor table at a show. Have seen IONE built on a contest table, though. *NM*
i really like the Coupe, but have NEVER seen it anywhere at the LHS or a Show. *NM*
I have one, but it's not built yet. I have a plan for it. I jumped on it the very first time I saw it available. *NM*

In reality, if this old fart was to try that? I would need THREE kits. I would probably screw up two of 'em, then say ta heck with it, and build the third one s.o.b.(straight outta the box!!! L.O.L. *NM*
Thank you so much for sharing. Using that technique, it looks almost do-able. *NM*
I always struggle with these tutorials - need a shrink to figure it out!
Certain folks insist I have a shrink ray machine. Would that help?? 8^)) *NM*
Gotta be careful where it's pointed, j/s *NM*
Amen to that, brother! *NM*
Do not carry in pocket! *NM*

Nice of you to post that. Not that I could do any of it, but it's interesting to read. *NM*
Page 116 got me going - a Studebaker coupe with the '57 T-Bird styline fastback would be a killer custom *NM*
Yes, I have. Now I did it the easy way. I cut the A pillar but at the C pillar I cut straight down and then straight back and removed the roof and trunk in one piece. Then moved that whole piece forward and down to meet the A pillar. Check the PICs and.....
