• 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 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*

    • Pretty old school Bob ,,, But I got ya covered right here. *NM* *LINK* *PIC*
      • Nice of you to post that. Not that I could do any of it, but it's interesting to read. *NM*
