JoHan 75 Cutlass has correct molded door panels (flat, though) and mostly correct dash. Seats suck but you could start there. I have one of these and I am working on correct seats, door panels and dash.

Very nicely done-both cars!

Super glue followed by Tamiya white. A light smear of putty which is very fine and will sand off easily.

The rumor was, I believe it was 7/8 scaled.

Very nice! Paint is gorgeous and your detailing is very sharp. Great build.

Great build!

Yikes is right!

Agreed. As cost and quality of printers comes down, it becomes more accessible. I don't know how many people can scan full size cars and develop the files, though. Interiors are time consuming to construct (lots of small pieces) but once done can be infinitely replicated in resin if 3D is not an option. That's my route. I have talked with Robert as well as Paul Hettick and will be developing interiors for his Collonade GM's over time.

I am currently working on interiors for the 74 LeMans and 77 Cutlass. I have already done the interior for a 73 GS but will have to adapt it to Robert's body. It has a slight ridge around the windows inside the body that I have to adjust for. If you can find a tub that works, the rest is just a lot of looking at pictures and lots of Evergreen! The bodies have great detail and proportions, at least to me.

I moved this to the Model Car Under Glass section. Thanks for all of the comments!

This was a modernized version of a "phantom" 73 GTO Judge. My own resin body and interior, oversize resin wheels from EBAY, 72 Cutlass chassis, 66 GTO engine and lots of scratch building. Testor's Flaming Orange paint. A fun build. Trying to think up some decals for it but calling the construction phase done.

Or the "on the lid" version..

Evidently someone did them at some point.

Anybody do decals for this one?

PM me your address

I'm 95% done. I need to put decals on, paint under the hood and finish the engine off. I added a front spoiler, touched up the paint and detailed the A/C.

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.

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.

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.

Tim, I have done the interior for this already. No need to use the Cutlass.

I bought one and will be doing the interior for it to cast in resin. Now I'm waiting for the car to come up again....

They had swivel bucket seats. A better more realistic seat is in the Revell 1977 Monte Carlo snap kit. The seats are an accurate scale of the swivels if you can find them.

The seats are not correct for the H/O, are they?

What are you going to do for seats?

Grilles are different but rear bumper is the same. I have a 74 front end. If you want I can make a resin copy to spare you some time.
