This is the 35 year old "jackwagon Tracy" AMT kit. I painted it Brilliant Blue with a Krylon Satin Brown Boots interior. I used the engine from the 1960 Ford F-100 pickup that I have just finished using a six banger. I didn't add any plug wires, etc to the engine. The rumble seat works and I substituted tear drop taillights that happened to be on the chrome tree for the stock taillights. I also didn't use the bumpers and brackets from the kit as the brackets were too long for my liking and I don't really care for the Art Deco style of the stock bumpers and taillights. The tires are wider than the kit tires from the parts box and I painted the wide whites using a circle Template cut onto an index card and taped down with four pieces of doubled-over Tamiya tape. I used Tamiya white primer spray on the tire and touched them up with Tamiya Acrylic white. Wheels are also from the 1960 Ford F-100. The side mirror is fashioned out of an extra mirror plate and a straight pin. I think I need to blackwash the engine and the wheels a bit but haven't done that as yet. Thanks for looking! 😎
