am73grand Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Been crazy around here the past few weeks but I was able to finish this one too. This is another box stock type build. I made a few changes. First was to cut the skirts off. Then I swapped out the kit hubcaps for a set of Pontiac Rally II wheels out of an MPC Ventura. Tires are the new AMT parts pack Goodyears. Paint is Testors lacquer Nassau Blue with Testors Wetlook clear. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

am73grand Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks guys!! I really appreciate your feedback! This is an original MPC kit. It had the required busted windshield frame and the tip of one rear quarter was missing but other than that it was a nice mint kit. And yes that IS a resin '73 Grand Am in the back round. It's a NASCAR body. I'm going to convert it to a Pro-Mod body for a drag car build. Looks like I'm going to have to check out those other ones! I've got a '68 Bonny in line to be built as well.
