yellowsportwagon Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Got my Century from Robert Burns. I like it a lot . Body proportions seem spot on to me. Bad proportions are an instant killer for me. Put it on a Johan cutlass interior with Buick rallies from Zimmerman . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 That is way cool. I am currently back dating a 75 Cutlass to a 74 Hurst Olds. I has similar lines to the Buick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 That is to my eyes..............PERFECT! I'm getting three bodies from Robert.....a '76 Olds Cutlass Supreme, '76 Olds Delta 88, and a '73 Buick Riviera. I got the tracking number from him the other day, so hopefully the package will be here in the next couple days. BTW, for those interested, Robert has a new list on FB. It can be seen here, and it's for a limited time he's taking orders. 👌 Yes, I ordered a couple more bodies from him......his work is EXCELLENT!

You got that right! 😁 I ended up ordering two more bodies from him, and then after looking over the list some more, I saw ANOTHER one that I'll end up getting (1970 Riviera). The first three I ordered back in December, I just got notice that they're to be delivered today. Later on, I'll post pics and I'm sure those of us here on the lunatic fringe will be tickled by what I've gotten from him. Stay tuned...........

kelson Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I checked his fb page and he does some great 70's cars,but with no chassis and interior included it's hard to want to just buy a body.😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But others have no chance. This car has a Johan 75 cutlass chassis and interior. Fits like a glove. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 That is a neat body and should look great when done. I have talked with Robert about his kits and he is trying to get people to do his interiors but as he pointed out, that drives up the cost. His work is outstanding, I have two Dodge pickups and two IH Scouts from him, they are incredibly accurate and well detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Tim, I have done the interior for this already. No need to use the Cutlass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I am actually going to be doing some interiors for some of his cars. I have the 69 Buick Skylark wagon and I just got the 74 LeMans Sport. I am working on the interior for that one as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a definite yes for the LeMans and the Century interiors. Please post or PM when the LeMans interior is ready. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Just got the body the other day so I am just getting started on the interior. I actually have one set of door panels done and working on another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 It needs a donor. The JoHan Cutlass chassis has a molded in engine and drivetrain so if you don't want to open the hood it is fine. If you want a realistic chassis, a 68-72 Cutlass will work or a Revell 66 GTO if shortened. Both have excellent detail appropriate for those cars. There are few Buick engines, though. I used one from the Monogram SSX, which is 1/24 scale but accurate for a Buick car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Did you thin down the pillars? This body looks so much better than the other bodies I have seen with the clunky pillars. This one looks just like a real car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '75 had round headlights and a more pleasing grill IMHO. Mine was white with a blue vinyl top and white interior. 13 miles to the gallon. They are pretty rare these days. Only the convertibles seem to hold any value today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
