This one was not up to the same level as some of the other old truck kits I have completed from AMT. I would not suggest this one for a new person to the hobby. Hard to argue with the bold style of this truck though. Very menacing look to it. I recall staring out the back of my dads 9 passenger wagon with the rear facing seat and feeling a little intimidated by these as they came up behind us.
A little sneak peak.

Your Chevy II looks real sweet. I'll be around to see your updates. Paul
@@styrenerelics Thanks a lot. I had a major issue after this video that will be fun to talk about in my next update. Hopefully save someone else a frustration.
Looks great
@@modelcarmadness5119 Thanks.
Looking Sweet!!
@@ramblers69 Thanks, after seeing that dragsters mirror finish I have a new bar to try to reach.
@@heathjohnson4486 It's taken me a long time to get there, thanks buddy
Nova looks kewl love my Chevy11s😁🤩scooter😎
Sweet! What kind of clear did you use?
@@tjmmodelcraft8486 Mr. Color super clear UV cut. GX112.
@@heathjohnson4486 cool, thanks.
Just found your channel. watched a couple of videos and subbed looks like some nice builds
@@glastenburydesignsoutdoors8039 Well thank you.
Pretty cool Man, Seeing this gives me ideas for one of those hatch back Nova that most people hated because they always leaked water around the back....😎👍🇺🇲
@@ledheadkustomplastic3442 Thanks! Those hatch backs were practical though. I remember seeing someone driving one with a full sized gas grill in the back with the hatch partially opened.
Nice update video Heath
@@THROTTLEPOWERThank you sir! Looking forward to seeing your dart come together.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe 👍👍🏃♀️🏃♀️🍾🍾
I Really Like the yellow and blue. Nice work so far. Look forward to seeing more. I'll be watching
Thanks Mike. I was surprised how much I like the yellow and blue too.
Very cool project. It looks sweet so far.🤓👍
Thanks for checking it out.
Nice looking model How do you keep the chassis straight so that the engine isn't out of line when you come to fit it?
@@paullloyd6821 I get the frame all glued and while still wet and on its side I push it up to a small carpenters square until both frame rails touch it. Then I know it’s square.
@@heathjohnson4486 I've had a few problems with the engine not fitting into the chassis because the chassis hasn't been straight on models I've made in the past, which was my fault Hence my question, many thanks for your reply 👍
I know this video has been up a minute, but what size is the larger rivets on the front of the cab? Great build.
@@AirbrusherGameandArt Thanks! I used .035 (8020 tichy) and .040 (8075 tichy).
@@heathjohnson4486 Thanks a lot.
Wow
👏👏👏👏
I never searched AMT builds until now but remember this kit quite well from my youth (I think I remember these kits being a whopping $10 or $15 back then lol). I look at the moldings now and their poor quality reeeally sticks out compared to today's parts. You did a fine job cleaning up this old kit! There are probably a number of model railroad detail items that are now handy for detailing these old kits, just like the rivets you used. Even as a kid, I hated that seam... Little did I know, I would end up driving trucks after ten years of starvation-wages in radio stations and the first trucks I drove were cabovers in the early 90s (an '89 Freightliner being the first, long after White had parted ways). They're cool to see restored these days but my joints ache just at the thought of getting dressed on my back and crawling over the doghouse in these old flat-tops! lol Good job and thanks for sharing a very nice build!
Thanks for sharing your story. I am glad you liked. I have an international cabover in my pile of ‘to-do’s that I hope to complete soon. It is apparently completely retooled and goes together much better than some of the older kits.
Nice build!!!! I was in love with this model back in 1988, never built it though, I felt like it was too much for my age. brings back memories.....
Thank you. It is a more challenging one for sure as it has a lot of parts.
Nice build. You're right, that color is period perfect. 👍 I'm working on the same kit but the dump box will be replaced by the old "big stick" wrecker body from the AMT Peterbilt. I hope it turns out as nice as yours!
Добрый день 🎉 С большим удовольствием посмотрел ваш контент. Я ✍️ ся Вы?+
It's an awesome build and combo. I really love that trailer. Cheers! Earl
Heath , you did an incredible job on this. My Dad used to drive a COE Freightliner and tis is awesome!. This is one I'd like to do! those rivets also come on some kind of sheet too so you don't have to apply 1 by 1. I just got back into building cars and trucks. I just posted my build of the Smokey and Bandit. It turned out pretty good for being my 5th truck and trailer. Cheers! Earl
Built it was a hard build but one of my favorites
That's good looking truck. But I can't help but notice how, those guys over at Round 2, seem to be on top of the game, and fixing those molds. They do good work over there too.
Love the round two team as well. This has really been the only kit out of a dozen or so I have got from the round two brands that the quality was not very good. Usually I am quite satisfied, especially given the age of some of these kits.
It would be cool if Round 2 did re-tool that kit, join the cab together and supply the day cab too!! Cheers! Earl@@heathjohnson4486
I totally concur with your assessment on how these OLD AMT molds are. I really want to build this kit, being a former trucker and a son of a truck driver, And spending more time in a Freightliner or a White Freightliner than any other truck. I've experienced the same problems with the AMT Kenworth W925 model kit trying to make the Smokey and the Bandit tractor and trailer as well as the Trans Am. I got mostly a very sketchy rolling chassis and engine until it fell inside my closet in a box, so I gave up but I still had the trailer tandems complete and perfect. So I am going to build the Revell Kenworth W900 aerodyne tractor, but use the AMT W 925 cab sleeper and hood. I enjoy the big truck models more because like you said they take time, it's mostly what me and my dad built but we also built a lot of classic cars and a few helicopter model when I was young. I like the detailing in the big trucks models a lot, and it is why it takes so long for me to build a model because of the detail I like to add. I love your channel great builds!
Hi Denny, Thanks for checking out my channel. You might want to check out the international transtar cabover. It was completely re-tooled about a year back. I have not opened mine yet, but I have seen many others report that it goes together super nice with the modern tooling.
Denny, I just got back into building cars and trucks. I posted my build of the Smokey and Bandit. It turned out pretty good for being my 5th truck and trailer. Cheers! Earl
Looks great!
Thank you
Beautiful build. I built this model years ago (like 40 odd years ago!) and still have it. I was going to completely dismantle it as it is showing its age and parts are falling off of it. I was thinking about putting the dump body on something else, like the AMT old Western Star, that I also have. Then, make the Autocar into a heavy hauler, maybe.
Thanks a lot. It is an old kit. I was surprised that it went together pretty well for being so old. I have built a couple other old AMT trucks that did not build up as nice as this one.
Classy ride...nice job
Thanks!
Some really nice prints
Nice work Heath! 3D peices look awesome. Truck lid frame is very realistic.👍👍
Thank you sir. Looking forward to getting some work done on the 69 Nova.
Very cool, I like the idea on the trunk frame.
Thanks!
Looks better than the 1st one I did about to do it again hopefully I've learned from the 1st one
Good luck with it. Was definitely a more challenging kit.
Nice looking build. Thanks for the close up shots, I'm building this and I've referred to your video a lot because the instructions are very vague and the part's are not numbered. I think AMT is short for Almighty Test.
Thanks! Good luck with your build.
Beautiful job! Love the rivets. I'm about to start on the AMT International Transtar kit. This is the new, supposed better quality molds for this version. Hoping it turns out half as good as yours.
Thank you very much! It was a lot of work drilling all those holes. I I have that transtar cab over in my stash….I remember round2 making a big deal about it being all new tooling. Can’t wait to see how yours comes out. Good luck with it. Heath
I had this truck and really liked it.
Love it!
How much
Great set up... Thanks for sharing😊
Beautiful builds.
Nice collection
Damn that is nice. I thought about it but never had the balls to try something like that.
Thank you so much. When I look back on that one, I really was going out on a limb with trying new stuff.
Looking good.
Looking good buddy
Love this build!!!!!👍👍
Turned out really nice Heath! 🔴⚪🔵
Nice!!!!!!!!
WOW NICE! The seam looks fantastic.
This model truck would look good with a livestock trailer or a spread axel flat bed trailer box or refrigerated trailer!!!
Looks real cool mate👍
Very Nice build! Looks real, you do a super nice job love the detail. I built a few of these myself, on my time off the road! I like Cabover,s! I had a couple brand new ones back in the day! And they were pretty good Tractors. Someday I will try and post the photo,s of em.
I would enjoy seeing the photos. I have a international cab over in my collection to build. There are a couple models in line before I get to it though.
Great job, I have built a few model trucks in my younger years and can relate to the problems you have mentioned but I never thought of going to the lengths you have to achieve a perfect job. Well done 👏👏👏😎👍
