3men2s Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 A few years back Kevin Prior contact me about making a replica of his nostalgia pro stock. After I got more info it happen to be a 1:1 replica of the Profesors Mr. Waren Johnsons Pro Stock. Funny! Art imitating art. The challenge was how because there was no resin bodies out there of this rare model of oldsmobile and less it was produced by any of the model companies. The only thing I had in my stash was this Pontiac J2000 show car kit that I wanted to built for my self. After I study the reference photos and the lines of the body I got to work with blind faith not knowing how I would get everything I needed. The graphics were very simple to get by using NASCAR DECALS. So I went to work....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crowe-t Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Very nice job converting this into the Oldsmobile. Did you modify the Dobbertin rear end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the same tub but took a rear end from another pro stock kit and narrow it more make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
