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!

Nice work Charlie! Those look like modified AMT American Lafrance wheels? I've got to get some of those beads. Lots of people have been using them lately and they look great. Looking forward to more!

I used a very old set of decals from Fred Cady. This set was designed for a 1970 GTO Judge.

Made some more progress on this one this week. It's painted and up on it's wheels. I've got to do the rear bumper, tail lights, grilles and finish under the hood. I'm hoping to have it finished by next weekend. As always, Thanks for looking!

I am so excited for this kit. I cannot wait to get a couple.

While cleaning up around the shop I came upon this project. It's 85% complete so I've decided to press on and get it finished. I got the final coats of primer on it last night. The car will be white with a blue roof. I'm hoping to get the paint finished tomorrow afternoon. I'll be doing a few more of these 73-77 Pontiacs. I'll post here as I work on them.
