Agreed on that. "corporate" cars are a lot like other corporate things. Terminally boring. I knew Allison used different rear but did not know about the front.

Which is more accurate for 70's cars? Did the "GM" chassis start to be used in the downsized cars of the 80's?

What are the differences between using the T Bird chassis that comes in kits like the Elliot T Bird and the GM chassis that would come from say Oldsmobiles of a similar era? Front suspension? Front or rear steer?

Wow. It really pops. How long did it take for the paint to dry before you could do the second color? In my experience Rust Oleum takes an eternity to dry.

If you have not seen Fireball Motorworks resin carburetors, to call them a work of art is an understatement. I have bought Holley and Rochester Quadrajet carbs and the detail is mind-numbing. That is what I used on the Olds. The Pontiac was another resin copy of a Dominator. Much less detail on that one.

Herb Adams' Pontiac Grand Am home built car did use a Dominator. When I was researching that build the pictures showed one so that's what I used on that one.

Dark Green, Verdant Green, Emerald Green. Typical manufacturers. Same code but different names across divisions.

Same color, different names but matches her car pretty well. Looks good.

Since we have a new board format for "NASCAR Under Glass, I'll be a guinea pig and re-post my Baker Olds:

Code 42 Dark Green Metallic

Rallye Green? or is it a Caddy color? They had a similar color called Nottingham Green. My best fiend had a 66 Chevelle painted that color.

I think around 82. It is an 81 LeMans body style.

Mark, you are probably right. This is early 80's.

I'm sure the webbing was safer than using volleyball netting!

I don't know. I was just following pictures of the real cars on my builds.

You can buy 1 and 2 mm masking tape that might work.

I have done it two ways: using pieces from a large gauze pad if you want more of the "rope" look. I edge it with 1/8" white ribbon, which you can probably find at a craft store or on the internet. My last car I used common window screen painted white edged with the same ribbon. It looks good but not as "ropey". Grand Am is gauze, Cutlass is window screen. The screen is much easier to work with.

They would be a booger to make, though!

I found another

I found this. Not the best.

Here are shots from a 68 bot not Boss 9. Appears to be wet sump as well.

Typical setup:

73 Big Block Chevelle:

Paul, I saw the Can Am kit on EBAY. Body sort of looks like mine although there was another person doing a body before me. Inside of the body looks awful and the interior and chassis are castings directly from a Jo-Han 1975 Cutlass, not accurate at all for the Can Am. Thanks for the heads up.
