am73grand Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 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!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickcaps55 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 That really came out great I love that body style I wish one of the model companies would tool that I think there are many modelers that would love to see it in plastic hint hint to some company out there.!!!

DoctorLarry Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Nice build-the first complete street build with one of my resins. YelloSportWagon did HB Bailey's 73 Grand Am NASCAR car. Both builds look great and you guys got them done faster than I have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olschoolkid Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Really nice GTO. It's not every day you see a GTO in this style, at least not for me. However, I think it is a great style for an awesome street machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Ron, What did you use for tail lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am73grand Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Great job. I really like seeing a built up model. Btw we need to get Keith Mark's to do decals etc for the 73 GTO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickcaps55 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 That looks awesome I really like it I wish one of the model company's would make a 73 GTO with LeMans parts to make it a 2-in-1 type of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Tuttle Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 A forgotten car in 1:1 compared to its older siblings, not to mention in smaller scale, very nice to see one being built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
