Hello,
I just joined, it looks like a great site. I've just gotten back into building after 20+ years. This is my first effort. I think it turned out alright, lol. I BMF'd the trim, shaved the door handles and added ones from a diecast model parts bin.

Great looking model Gene, welcome to the club. What part of O? I grew up in Dayton, but haven't lived there for a long time.

Looks great! Seperate door handles really made a difference on this one.

I live in Sidney if you know where that is? It's about 35 miles north of Dayton. And thanks for the kind words guys, it is appreciated. Since it seems the 1:24 diecast are drying up I figured I'd get back into building models. That way I can add some that weren't made in diecast, like the Buick. It fits right in with my '70 GM diecast muscle cars. Here it is with a couple of my diecast models.

Looks great Geno, very sharp build.

For such a layoff that looks epic. Great stuff, keep it up!

I'm awaiting my trade for this kit so I can build it...I love the GSX! My favorite GM muscle car of the 70's! Yours looks fantastic! The first picture almost looks real!

That's a very nice build.

Hey Roger, we'll have to hook up sometime. We've got a group that goes up to the show in Toledo twice a year, have you ever been up? It's a great show.

Really nice work!
