This is a resin kit available from Gregg Wann. It's a complete kit right down to the tires and it allows you to build the '88-'89 version or the '90-'91 version. I was lucky enough to get two of them. I went to college in Memphis and remember seeing a few of these running around. They stood out because the fleet in Memphis was all Chevy. When I found the right decals at the local hobby shop I knew one was going to be from Memphis. Here's the interior: I added the interior spotlight handles: The car number 413 is my college girlfriends birthday. This will be going to her. I see now that the windshield has popped loose. I will have to fix that. Also Ronnie Keel mentioned my lightbar was sitting way to high. I will correct that at some point. This was a fun build that got me back into the swing of modeling. Hopefully I am able to continue building. Thanks for looking!!

Here's on I'm working on. The lightbar is just sitting there. I swapped out the kit hubcaps for an aluminum set from Parts by Parks. It's almost done. I'll post pics in the under glass section when it's finished.

I am beyond excited over this one!

I'm really enjoying watching the process. Thanks for sharing! I'm learning a lot!

This is coming along very nicely! The more I watch your builds the more I think I'm going to give brass a try!

Looking good man!

Thanks for the clarification. I may have to give it a shot on my next big rig frame. I've soldered brass before to make slot car chassis. I bet this is similar.

That's some amazing work Charlie. Just out of curiosity. Why do you prefer a brass frame over plastic?

That's some amazing work!!! Thanks for showing us how it's done!!!

Looking good Charlie!

Beautiful!!

That is beautiful! Nice work!

Thanks everyone for the comments! It was a fun build!!! Larry, I built the tail lights from scratch, as the GTO ones are a little different from the Grand Am.

This is a resin kit done by our own Doctor Larry. I made quite a few changes to the stock GTO such as the Laguna rear windows and '74 style grille lights. This was a fun build of my all time favorite car. I'll be doing a few more of this body style. You can check out the build here: This is the car that inspired me: And here is my build: After loading the pictures I noticed I forgot the upper radiator hose and the back up lights. I'll add those befor I put it in its case. Thanks for looking!!!!

Really nice work so far. Your bodywork skills are amazing. Looking forward to more!
