Still, to finish THAT many at THAT level is a superhuman feat, in my opinion.

A great stable, especially the under appreciated Buicks and Pontiacs. But how do you do it?

Are the modified engines up on the web site yet?

Great idea. I use ribbon but that looks more realistic.

Great build. What did you use for the seatbelt material?

Are those rivets sold in the US? What a great added detail to a fantastic build.

Looking good, Gerald!

I understand. I was just thinking through what you said about the models being not correct in scale. Your engines are super detailed so they will look great in my build.

Seems reasonable. I would think that there would not be a huge difference but based on what you are saying there might be due to model tooling being off from true scale.

I was just happy to see the finished Pontiac since the model kit ones lack detail. So I ordered one for a 73 GTO in the works and will probably order more down the road. One question, though. Why 1/24 rather than 1/25? The engines in 1/24 kits seem way too big for 1/25 scale models. Is there a technical reason for a particular scale?

Sorry if it upset you. It was meant as a joke. I appreciate what you have done so far and if I didn't I would not support your business.

My order went in today. Thanks!!! Now to pester you for a Buick...

I saw it on the web site. Order forthcoming

4 barrel intake yet?

I looked over pics of real cars and you are correct. The lines should flare back to the corners of the hood. I will fix it with plastic and putty as you suggest. Thanks for the tip.

Stephen, this was a 3D print version that I found on EBAY. It was not a good experience. I ordered and paid and then nothing. It went on for awhile and I kept communicating. Got a couple of "ready to ship" notices and one stating it was being shipped but nothing. More time passed and I finally filed a claim with EBAY and PayPal. It finally shipped after several weeks had passed. As you can see from the picture it has different resin colors and one of the other members said the hood is wrong. Robert Burns is supposed to do them but he has put them on hold for awhile. There is another European seller on EBAY that has a kit of the 69 and Robert Burns does a nice 69 GS wagon. So all I can say is good luck. The interior in the 3D print kit is a base interior, not the custom/GS one so I had to make my own seats and door panels and console. I hope the dash will work. I will probably cast them in resin just to have them and I will also do ones for the wagon.

Anybody know of a place where I can find Lakewood ladder bars for GM coil spring cars? Thanks!

Anybody out there do Lakewood ladder bars for GM coil spring cars?

Ordered some Thrush mufflers and fly eye velocity stack air cleaners from VGC Resins today so I think that's the last of the special parts for this one. I still need some Lakewood ladder bars for the 70 yellow car. There is someone with them on EBAY but priced in a ridiculous way. Anybody know of a kit I can pirate for them?

Thanks. I think it will, too. It is coming along nicely.

Thanks, Rich!

Went to the paint store yesterday and got two colors: 1969 Code 53 Crystal Blue for the 69 Skylark GS project and 1970 Code 52 Saturn Yellow for the 70 GSX project. I also finished the rough-in of the 69 GS interior. The seats have a lot of detail in them-hard to replicate in scale. I will probably make molds and resin cast them. The 3D print seats and door panels were all wrong so I made new ones. The dash should work with some modifications. I still have to build the "consolette" for the four speed in the car. I am going to use the 69 Riviera engine as a base. I will need to fabricate a new intake and chrome the valve covers. I have a Fireball Holley double pumper and the "fly eye" air cleaner from the Baldwin-Motion 70 Camaro. The 71 Olds 442 will donate the finned rear differential cover and I ordered resin Mallory coils. I have MSD boxes that I can modify for the Motion Capacitative Discharge unit. I still will need to fabricate exhaust headers and Thrush mufflers, but things are coming together. I will also need to figure the black vinyl top out.

Looks great!

Sweet! Thanks to both for making the attempt to do these. IT is much appreciated (at least by me).

Very nice. Paint, trim and decal work is impressive!
