slammedi'am Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 This is a great build! It's always cool to see a replica scale car, especially when it can be done accurately. BTW the factory color on your brother's car is code 61 Burnished Brown Metallic, which is a fairly rare color on any of GM's performance cars. Wheels look like Boss 338's which are very similar to most torque thrust style wheels. Looks like you got the stance nailed down perfectly. Can't wait to see this one finished. Yup you are correct on the color...The wheels on his car are Boyd Coddington junk yard wheels And yes the wheels are 19" & 23" Pegasus wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASTBACK340 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The wheels & stance are everything: and you nailed it. Unique color looks great on that body style. Your cousin has a nice ride. and your off to a great start replicating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll Brandon ll Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I like it. Color isnt really my thing, but it honestly really makes those wheels pop. Nice job replicating it thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedi'am Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Havent messed with it much...Been making me mad because of some stuff not lining up right...Got a photo etched stuff from scaledreams.com and stated putting it on...Almost got the chassis done...I used the Cutlass one from AMT kit on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBan91 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Looks great so far. I don't think I'd use that carb though. To me it just looks off from the rest of the engine. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Great color choice from the common colors! How much modification did you have to do to the Cutlass frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedi'am Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Carb has been changed to the one the kit came with...With the Cutlass frame motor sits up a lil bit more.. I had to trim the top of the tranny and the trans member to get it in there right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
