I have this picture and one other. However, my understanding is none of the orange cars have been accounted for.

Couple of photos od the body prep. These take quite a bit of clean up work. Have to very careful not to alter the body panel lines. Still a couple of of imperfections that need to be sorted out before paint. Sine I cannot validate not have seen one of the orange Can Am's I have decided to go with Cameo White with Buckskin interior.

Yes complete interior. Steering wheel is either the Pontiac custom sport wheel or the standard custom three spoke wheel

Yes. Here is a photo of the kit interior in primer

Who did you order it from?

Once I have the paint work completed I will show all sides

First pass at color. Few minor areas to touch up. Will let it set and dry out for a week or so then tackle the imperfections and smooth the finish, then apply the final coat of paint

1973 GTO's came from the factory with Goodyear G60-15 Polyglass GT. Some came from the factory with Firestone G60's. The tires with correct tread pattern are available from Fireball Modelworks along with the correct decals.

I purchase mine from Andy Lesiak. Andy is on Facebook along with his contact information. I am not sure of the process other than it is a computerized process.

The steel wheels, tires, and white letter decals are from Fireball Modelworks. The baby moon hud caps are from Parts by Parks. The Pontiac arrow on the hub caps is from Fireball Modelworks using an extra Pontiac Honeycomb decal set . Lastly Pro-Tech wheel valve stems.

Buckskin

I was originally going to do burgundy, but have re-thought the interior color. I am going to do black trim with optional accent carpet in red. Pontiac's order code for the combination was sales code 561 Black Trim with Red accent carpet sales code 811. This was a very rare option, but was available.

This one will be built after the 1973 GTO. This is a 3D cast done by Andy Lesiak. Like the GTO the body is free of the fine lines found in a lot of 3D cast. Body is currently in clean up to eliminate flaws. I am trying to decide on the final exterior color. Do I go with Cameo White that was the factory color for the Can Am or do I go with Mandarin Orange that according to Jim Wangers 7 were built. The Rally II wheel is painted Mandarin Orange. Car will have Buckskin Interior a rare interior color on a Can Am. Exterior color will be from Scale Finishes with interior paint from MCW. Tires and Rally II wheels from Fireball Model Works. Decals will be from Rays Kits and Decals

Here we have 1973 PONTIAC GTO that is a 3D cast. The casting was done by Andy Lesiak. Andy does a great job casting so that he eliminates the majority of the lines that can be found in the 3D finish. There is still clean up needed on the body. My car will be a 455 with the standard wheels in body color with baby moon hub caps on Goodyear G60-15 Polyglass GT tires. Exterior paint will be Pontiac Florentine Red from Scale Finishes with Burgundy (MCW) interior with black carpeting. In 1973 Pontiac would allow to mix interior color and carpet colors. Engine color is from Scale Finishes and correct shade of blue for 1973 Pontiacs. Decals will be from Rays Kits and Decals. The decals are currently enroute from the Netherlands. Car is currently in final primer and will be wet sanded with 800 and 1000 grit sand paper before color
