I'll chime in: if y'all have not done a buddy build, or one lately, give it a try. Volzfan59 and I are having a blast texting back and forth, with pictures even. This modern technology stuff is purty neat. It's like being a part of a model club, which neither of us have anywhere near us. Give it a try!

Speedracer and I are doing a buddy build using the reissued AMT ''64 Ford Galaxie Modified Stocker. The cold weather got me. I sprayed part of the body gloss yellow. When it dried, quite a bit of it was more of a flat yellow. I've got it sanded and ready for paint, just need the weather to warm (never thought that I'd say that living in southern Arkansas, 9 miles from the Louisiana border) and the humidity to go down. Anybody else got anything going?

Like TonyK, I think that Buick modified stocker looks great. That yellow really jumps off the screen! Speedracer and I have a buddy build going right now utilizing the '64 Galaxie Modified Stocker kit.

I check in almost every day. My workbench is in the garage so don't go out there when the temp outside is below freezing. Try to get some decal work done inside.

I like that Skylark.

  All the kits that AMT offers are technically the C-900, why AMT molded 800 into the emblems and marketed them as a C- 600 (stake truck, Hostess cake delivery, the tractor portion of the tractor trailer kits) is anybodies bet.
  If you want to do some kit bashing or scratch building, the AMT Ford C-series offers its self up to diesel power ( the kits come with a 534 C/I gas engine) or manual transmission(kit comes with an Allison auto trans.) stretching the frame and adding rear tandems....the possibilities are practically endless.
 
  I got some P.E for my trash truck build, basically cab enhancement....the pieces look awesome...cant wait to get it all together.

Thank you Brian. In your opinion, would the C-900 be the more appropriate kit to use?

Lurking around almost every day. Haven´t built something shorttrack lately.

Currently i´m working on the ´66 Buick Skylark modified stocker from AMT, try to give it
vinyl roof, my first attempt on this. I don´t want it to make it with tape,
rather painting it. We´ll see...
