  1. It came with buckets and the unusual Buick only shorty console. Basically a glove box between the seats. I will make a column shifter and turn signal stalk for it.
  2. Real nice build
  3. Thanks guys
  4. Please somebody help this guy out!!! I could use some too!!
  5. Oh man Tom put me first in the list. Those were sexy cars.
  6. A pretty good built unpainted but not overly glued rebuilder. Blown apart cleaned sanded and painted. Looking at doing a blue interior as pictured. Replaced the unknown wheels with a spare set of Buick road wheels. Will probably lower it a little more.Was missing the engine but I lucked out and found a complete unbuilt engine.
  7. It is a jet black with five colors of zirillac pearl in it and over it also. It is next to impossible to photograph. The last four pictures look the closest to how the eye sees it.If it is inside it just looks black until you bang it with a bright light. My family thinks it’s real cool as do I. Just wish it photographed better.
  8. This is really really cool man!!
  9. This is an old promo rescue. I removed the b pillars slammed it polished the glass and restored the bumpers. Painted it what my wife calls Rainbow in the dark. Done except front grille detail and emblems. That’ll wait till my shoulder heals.
  10. This is a Jack Bowsher built car. He raced them in Usac painted his white and blue colors. It is a base Torino front end on a sport rear.This car never raced NASCAR. It would not have passed tech. NASCAR would not allow elimination of the rocker panels. Usac let it slip by their rules weren’t as strict for stock cars. SMH hobbies has a 73 Torino resin body but it has a Gran Torino nose. No Torino fastback ever made had this nose factory made.
  11. I’ll have to dig up the Marina blue 66 Nova I built for my wife years ago. She loved it.
  12. Thanks man this was way out of my normal era and style to build. I must say this was an absolutely outstanding kit to build. I can’t remember anything not fitting properly.
  13. This is one of my favorite paint jobs.
  14. Some Buick Abody wheels had trim rings some did not. Depended on year and option package. No Buick full size car road wheels ever had trim rings.
  15. That looks real good man. I had a 72 Delta that color combo.
  16. I got mine much cheaper. Been looking a couple years. I like this version of the car better than the earlier version one monogram did.
  17. I got this one very reasonable. That’s why I have it. Normally they are out of my “Thats more than I’m willing to pay for that range.”
  18. I say all racing’s best period.
  19. 1966 Nurburgring 1000km winner. Phil Hill and Joakim Bonnier driving. Simple Fujimi curbside kit. Forgot to take a done chassis picture.
  20. Chassis is painted and assembled. Detail painting has begun.
  21. Thanks it’s waiting on some parts.
  22. Haven’t built a sports car for a while so here goes. Seems to fit good so far. I have it mocked up for stance. Pretty simple curbside but it looks nice.
  23. Yes all the 73 cars interest me.
