    I saw somebody was doing resin side mirrors for 70s GM products. Google has not been my friend, I can't locate the thread. One of the mirrors on my 70 Trans Am has been eaten by the carpet monster, and I really dont want to buy another kit just to get this one piece.

    The "distributor" is just a short piece of tubing with the wires glued into it. The other end is just stuck in holes drilled into the block. The wire itself is some left over from experimenting on electronic projects.

    A few pics bore the body goes on. My friend Terry owned one in the 70s, fortunately without the pinstripes. This is as close as I could get to his from pictures. In under glass now.

    While waiting for decals to complete a project that was supposed to be done today (thanks USPS) I started this one. First pics are engine in chassis

    Thanks to all who joined in this discussion. Civil and enlightening. Those 8 lugs are looking really good, now to find what I might have on hand. I have several Pontiacs of early 60s vintage that might have them. This will be a 2021 project, I have a 77 Trans Am to finish for a Christmas present for a friend.

    I would like to leave it stock looking. I don't have the Trumpeter kit, but I have a couple that have the 8 lug wheels. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Mongo is a female. She just looked more like a Mongo than Marvela which is the name they gave her at the shelter. MY girlfriend, her Mom and myself all got torties at the same shelter on the same day. If I ever find the guy who kicked Mongo so hard she needed surgery, I would do the same to him. I really don't like animal abusers. Model related, Mongo likes to steal tires.

    No pictures, but a Maserati sedan and a twin-steer 5 axle wrecker.

    Mine in Battle Creek, MI had the stagecoach kit and the Lindberg F-106 kit. That's all folks!

    How about Smokey and the Bandit where the cop cars change back and forth between Pontiacs and Mopars.

    Does it do 185?

    I thought I remembered seeing someone who did one of these, but can't remember who. Any leads?

    Finished these today. Not my best efforts, but they look ok from 100 feet.

    A few pics of this. I may or may not find some mirrors for it. More pics in Under Glass
