Hey guys,I decided for the 5th anniversary build that I'm gonna turn the AMT 56 T Bird into a gasser. This is the kit that I'm gonna use and I will also use some of my resin parts and some spare parts from the parts box.

Thanks guys! Did some work on the engine tonight...Being its a ford engine I didn't have any headers that would work... so I scratch built a set from 5/64 solder and some 3/16 tubing ...then I chromed them with Molotow liquid chrome. I'm gonna wait a few days then clear the headers with spaz stix ultimate clear coat. Thanks for looking guys!!!

Did you airbrush the Molotow? It looks great. Can't wait to see it after it's cleared.

Thanks Don, I brushed the Mototow on heavy.. it seems to go on good that way just as good as using a airbrush.I still need to clear it yet.

Thanks guys! got a little more done on the gasser.I painted the interior parts pearl white and red metallic and also installed the headlights,turn signals and tail lights.The steering wheel is a photo etched piece with a rubber o ring.
