My AMT 60' Starliner kitbash.

Well since Im actually looking to build a real 60's style gasser and don't know what body Im going to use I figured that I would do a few different models of my favorite body styles in gasser form to help me decide.

This here is the AMT 1960 Ford Starliner Custom in 1/25 scale.

I did the engine with the kits actual engine block, heads, valve covers.
I used a 10-71 blower from an old MPC gasser Vette kit.

I used the Enderle fuel injection hat and blower belt/pullies from an old Revell Funny Car kit.

I actually painted the car the correct 3 step for the candy apple red. I started with testors grey primer, I then wet sanded and rubbed that out. I then applied testors gold metallic, then Boyds transparent candy apple red for 2 coats. I too wet sanded and rubbed that out as well.

The pics do not do it justice. It looks SLAMMIN'! in person.

What do you think?

I think it's a terrific model!. I moved this post to the correct sub-forum:)

That extinguisher looks like the real deal. The car is amazing! Great job!

Very cool build! Love your paintwork.

Now that would be a ride to frighten the Civics in. :grinyes:

Good work and please get the Ford into some light so we can see the candy better, if you can

Woah thats a beast, your a crazy man to make a gasser out of a Starliner! If your using your favourite 60s body styles does that mean you will make a 67 Chevelle SS gasser and a 67 Stingray gasser? I dont see how anyone couldn't like thos 60s shapes.

That is very cool man.Love those 60,s gassers/funny cars.How about a Mercury Comet like Dyno Dons,or Ronnie Sox pro mod.

Holy shit, that looks awesome.

More pics, please!!! :iceslolan :iceslolan

Heres the latest on the Starliner Gasser.

I swapped out the old wheels for a set of Halirand rear wheels and ribbed slicks from the Tony Nancy Dragster. The front wheels are from the AMT 68' Camaro Kit.

Heres the first set of wheels and the lower rear suspension.

I also added a custom made Parachute bracket along with a labeled Simpson Chute and cord.

I used BMF on the chute and weathered it with some testors flat lack and thinner to simulate clutch dust for that "Used" look.

I also added chrome headlight covers in the low beams and I painted the high beam sockets flat lack.

Beautiful build. For a second there, I thought you were going to start trashing it to add into your junkyard collection.

Oh HELL no. Thats just a place to park them for pics.
