Well this is the first time I've ever attempted to build a model car..a quick history, if anyone acually cares: I own an '84 mustang, and decided to build a model of my car. I've done alotta work to my car so of course it looks much different than the model kit. I wanted to build an exact model, so I embarked into the model car world. I located and immediately bought 3 of the monogram 83/84 mustang convertible kits. One from a guy in my car club who is doing the same thing. He put me on to this forum. I wanted to start building my model, But I figured I'd do a practice run before I started it. Since I've been here, I'm amazed at some of the work I've seen..especially the junkyard models. I immediately wanted to track down the resin parts to customize the model, but I decided to stay "out of the box" and get a feel for things. I fell in love with the hobby immediately, and I stopped at a local hobby store and bought a Grand National, since its a similar era car...and to be honest, minimal exterior trim, plus I like 'em. So here goes the progress, I have to fight my impulses to keep it 'stock", but I think I'm gonna get some Weld-style wheels and slicks, thats down the road. Hope you enjoy the build as much as I am.

Hallo everybody, today i want to show you a newer car out of my collection. The 1987 Buick Grand National with supercharged V-6 engine. What i like on this car? Because, it has a dark shining when you stay in front of it and always sold in black - i think so. The only thing i was not painting like the original is the interieur. i hate all the grey stuff in it and so i made my own upholstery. Also this car has a story. His owner is a bounty hunter - take a look! wait a minute...to be continued...
