RestoModGuy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 My take on the '77 Pontiac Trans Am Bandit Resto-mod styled after Year One version. Mostly built out of the box with exception I added the round fog lights in the front bumper and removed the square ones in the lower air-intake. Added brass mesh in the side fender vents. Removed the molded in AC lines and made my own detail. Wheels are the kit Snowflakes inserted into Pegasus small aluminum sleeves. Trans Am and Bird decals are from Keith Marks, which are outstanding! Paint is all Duplicolor spray can with 4-polished clear coats, must say it's flawless smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT68 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 That is flawless and mirrorlike paint and something I'm always attempting to accomplish in my builds. You mention 4 polished clear coats which I'm assuming means you wet sanded between coats of clear. Overall that is a spectacular build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Lacy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Absolutely bad ass! Very nice work on the wheels. Just like the full size cars, the larger diameter wheels balance out the proportions of these cars to perfection. It’s all they need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Very smooth looking paint and body. Nicely detailed interior and I agree with everyone else on the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The only improvement would be Burt in his cowboy hat in the driver’s seat, and Sally in the passenger seat! Great build, and as the others have said, paint is killer, wheels and stance perfect. Well done! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
