Ron, What did you use for tail lights?

Nice build-the first complete street build with one of my resins. YelloSportWagon did HB Bailey's 73 Grand Am NASCAR car. Both builds look great and you guys got them done faster than I have!

Try electrical supply shops or go to a real hobby store and look in the model railroading section. They have very fine wire for wiring locomotives or other small electrical things like lights or switches. I found suitable wire in both places, although the small gauge stuff at the electrical supply shop was not cheap. It was 30 AWG (.15mm) Craft supply places like Hobby Lobby or Wal Mart also have beading wire which is very fine gauge as well.

They look great and accurate.

What did you use for decals?

Looks fantastic! Great color choice and the top turned out great. Great build.

Very nice!

Nose was gone and rather than shell out $1500 for a Motorealm replacement, I put a 75 Grand Lemans nose on. It will do for now. Buckets, console 400 4 bbl, all options and two extra doors. I bought it to modify. I had a 73 2 door low mile car that had 4 owners but I could not bear to modify it so someone offered me silly money and I took it. This is fun and I can drive it anywhere with no worries.

Are you using the stock JoHan chassis or something else?

Yes, but I am thinking of doing a separate NASCAR version without the pace car details-is that what you want?

Slowly-end of semester Did you want one with formal roof (a la Earnhardt) or the large window style? This is a formal roof car.

I always love the old stuff and scratch builds and here are a whole lot of them! Great craftsmanship on display.

Got some work done slowly. Tried Bare metal foil and Molotow chrome for the first time and painted the lenses. Also tried my hand at making decals for the stripes. Decal paper, a straightedge and some ultra fine Sharpies. Not great but passable for a first try. All parts are resin. Used lowrider carpet and found some cool floor mats online. Shifter boot is painted masking tape and the shifter is a straight pin. Still need to add pedals then on to the engine compartment.

Got my order in-had to sign for it as it came from Germany. I ordered some fifteen52 wheels-very detailed and some tires. Very quick shipping and very good quality. Very similar to C1 Models and Ukrainian Scale products. All of them very detailed and all very good service. Only problem is C1 is out of stock on a lot of their issues. Glad I bought two sets when I did. Thanks for the help on this one, folks.

What do you use to model the anodized fittings?

Just placed an order. I love global business!

How much was shipping if you remember? Thanks for the tip on the flag. My computer will auto translate but I will follow your instructions.

Do you submit the order through Google translate and how do they ship and accept payment? Thanks!

Anybody bought things from Scale Production? Website is in German but Google will translate. They have some really nice resins but wanted to know if anyone has bought from them.

I always wanted a Golden Olive Grand Am or 73 GTO so this was as close as I could find. It really pops on the Jeep.

After sitting for a long time, I finally started work on this project after doing resin masters for awhile. The body, interior parts, chassis and inner fenders are all my own resin castings. Got some paint on but no foil or trim paint yet. Hopefully I can actually finish a build now! Paint is Chrysler (Jeep) Rescue Green lacquer with Dupli-Color automotive clear. Interior is a custom mix to replicate 74 Grand Am Dark Saddle. Engine is from a 66 GTO with single carb with Fireball BOP Quadrajet. Still have to create the 73 GTO ram Air setup. Progress, albeit slow.

Complete kit (body,interior tub seats, console, door panels dash) $55 each. I make them to order. Takes about a week to do them. Larry

Thanks, gents. I appreciate the feedback.
