  1. I like the silver one-who was the driver?
  2. I'm almost done. Bumpers, final measurements. checking body lines and symmetry. Maybe a month.
  3. I have two Cutlass roofs I cut off of other projects in my spare parts bin...
  4. here's the one I mentioned. Definitely the standard roof with opera window.
  5. I saw these decals on EBAY-looks like the regular roofline.
  6. Got a picture for me? I can graft the Cutlass roof onto one of the resin copies and then fill in the triangle windows to have the formal opera window. I did that for a guy who had an opera window Grand Am. I re-did one of the resins with an opera window for him. LB
  7. You wanting to do the Lennie Pond Regal?
  8. Once I get the pace car done, swapping roofs will be pretty easy!
  9. The interiors on these cars are very complex in terms of shapes and patterns. It took awhile to get all of the pieces sorted out:
  10. It took me a long time to get all of the interior parts right. The dash has a lot of compound curves to get right.
  11. I've done the 73 Grand Am before. I'm trying to duplicate the factory bumpers on the pace car here.
  12. Mike: That is my intention. As soon as I get it tweaked, I will cast the body, hood and bumpers separately. I'm still trying to get the look of the bumpers right. I think I have them about right looking. I have re-done them three times.
  13. Tim: Right now the overlay is glued on. I intend to cast the hood and bumpers separate from the body so the spoilers, hood bump and roof band could be sanded off. It's just a lot easier to visualize everything if they are glued on. Mark, thanks. I did not build that-a guy on the board bought one and did it. He also built one of my Grand Prix kits.
  14. Bumpers are the hardest thing for me to get right and they still look funky, so more work needed. I actually owned a 76 Laguna S3 for about 10 years and replaced the front bumper. That thing took two people to lift!
  15. Tim, I have two posts with pictures; Buick Brothers and 76 Century Project. Here is the 76 almost done:
  16. Getting close to the end on this one. I still need to work on the front end and bumpers but everything else is pretty close.
  17. Here's a copy someone built:
  18. Mark: yes they were. I am finishing a 73 Buick Gran Sport and 76 Buick Century Indy 500 Pace Car then my next project is a 74 GTO.
  19. Their wheels were impressive and they had stuff that others were not doing so I bought 2 sets, then they quit. The Ukrainian Scale wheels are very nice and they are making lots of styles so maybe they will make more of the ones I like.
  20. They are very good quality and have a lot of detail. I also bought some C1 wheels, which were from Great Britain (through Australia). Very high quality. But I go to their web site now and they do not make as much as they once did and most of the items are sold out. Shame, as they may also be a victim of their own success or just decided to throw in the towel.
  21. I have not ordered those but several other sets. Larry
  22. Tom, to my knowledge, the 73 style was only offered as a 1/32 75 Century by Lindberg. No 1/25. David, when I get the masters done I will turn to the interiors (dash, tub, seats, console, door panels). I then plan to cast both as kits. Thanks!
