Mike 1017 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 This 77 T/A build was inspired by my friend Tulios [lovefordgalaxie] amazing box stock builds.This is the most modern car that I have built so far.The HOK Black Basecoat was colored sanded many times,cleared coated,and finally waxed and polished with Mothers products Thanks for looking Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Nice. I have one in my 'to-do' stash. What problems did you encounter with the hood? Edited February 16, 2014 by Danno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 1017 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Because of the way that the hood attaches to the body. I did not want to try and remove it because the hinges are fragile and would probably crack off . With hood on I can't see what is preventing the hood not to close all the way. I think that I might glue the hood shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I feel honored to be the inspiration for this stunning build Mike!!! Box stock and factory stock can be fun!! What about a 1/25 scale Burt Raynolds figure to go with it? By the way, I see nothing wrong enough with the hood to justify gluing it down Mike.

Hawk312 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 That looks fantastic! Is this the Revell kit? I may have to take a second look at that kit if it is. I was hesitant because of the box art. But that looks really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 1017 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yes it is the Revell kit. I would recommend it. I know what you mean about box art. Sometimes the box art is so goofy looking it is hard to get past it. Thanks for the comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk312 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I`m glad I`m not the only one who thinks the car on the box looks goofy. Another question for you. What was your method for getting the gold inserts in the honeycomb wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
