This is a old 1/32 AMT kit body mounted on a Artin chassis. I painted the body with Rustoleum Fern Green. Chrome trim is done with chrome foil. Interior is from the spares box. I painted it antique white with black accents. This cars parts are from many different manufactures! The driver is one of Smiling Ray's castings. Wheels, axle's and ring gear are from Carrera. Paul Gauge tires mounted on the rear. Front tires are from a Monogram stock car. It is powered by a Slot Car Corner Tuna motor, a real nice motor for this car! I used a Slot It pinion gear too. It runs well with my other "antique" slot cars!!

What a lineup! Edsel Ford would be proud. Where in the world did you ever find a 1/32nd Edsel Ranger Custom? Does it have a push-button transmission in the steering wheel hub?

Ni-ice! Would be good if AMT put these on the market again like they've done with some others .... I'd bite.

Yes another compliment heading your way.
I like the understated colour and build.
The T Bird is often slammed and made into a monster but yours looks "showroom floor" which is harder to achieve sometimes.

Thanks for looking and the nice comments!! I enjoy building these "different" type of cars.

Rob, the Edsel is one of Cagee's resin bodies.
