I’m surprised Jim Heller hasn’t stolen the art to reprint and sell on eBay

67 Buick GS 400
yellowsportwagon replied to yellowsportwagon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Every other 66-67 GM abody has been done except a 67 GS let’s get this one done. -
Honestly I think the roofline on that one is just as bad. They both look to boxy. The real thing flowed more. I’ll bet I can fix it easy enough. I’m not afraid to sand the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH out of it if I have to.
-
Can some model company please do one of these!!!
-
That’s what wrong. You nailed it. And the line turns down the a pillar rather than curving around the top of the windshield. If they don’t fix it a sanding block can make it better for sure.
-
I think this build looks nice.
-
They show up on Epay once in a while. You could go on Randy Ayers board and see if anyone is willing to sell some.
-
Pretty much cut the trunk floor out and built a box for it to go in.
-
No it is a resin Gran Torino Sport hood with the scoops filled.
-
On the earlier cars such as this they left the rear pretty intact. The later 70s they got more fabbed.
-
I thought that too. That would be an easy fix though.
-
Chassis is in. Final assembly starts now. Added a steering gearbox to the chassis. Had to do some creative engineering to get the header in on that side. Need to redo the lower radiator hose.
-
Something on the roof looks off to me. Almost like it’s too tall at the back. I’ve never seen a model plastic or otherwise that gets this roof shape right.

Nice job man! I need to do one of these myself -
I paint it a flat gray first. Then dust black and white over it from about 2 feet away. All rattle cans. You just want the black and white to kind of fall on it.
-
Got the interior mostly done now
-
Tom this is a different car but I’m doing the same chassis mods to it still need to do a cell on this one. For some reason this chassis had a stock tank molded in.
-
Chassis and engine painted. Now that I look at it I think I will plate the frt lower control arms for strength.
-
Thanks all. The Hihan Torino is one of my favorite kits ever. I could build a thousand of them.
-
I little more done on the chassis. Ready for paint now. Seat belts installed in seat .
-
This is going to be really nice when it’s done. Nice job so far.
-
This paint job will test you patience for sure. I still have to sand and polish it a bit.
-
427 installed and engine hoop made. More details to come.
