Making very slow progress after working in China for a month. Painted interior parts (my resin castings)

What did you use for braided line and to simulate the anodized hose ends, if I might ask?

I have not inquired yet, but my order was in December as well.

I saw that they were in Canada but must have missed the long shipping times. Thanks for the info.

I placed a couple of orders with Clearly Scale that were paid by PayPal but as yet nothing delivered. Do they have long wait times?

So the Adams Grand Am would have had coils and truck arms as well? Would they have used the stock rear frame section like Nichels GTO with a welded on front frame clip? Is the TBird representative of what H-M would have done or would it look more like the Nichels pictures?

How close are these to period correct? Was that the chassis used in your GTO?

The car is a Nichels Road Runner. The other I found on the web. It was a for sale ad.

Here are a couple of period chassis shots that I will try and copy. Slightly different than the Thunderbird, but both pictures show basically the same chassis.

Thanks! It was very clean and made my raw body look fantastic. LB

I'm going to build a replica of the Herb Adams/Team Associates NASCAR Grand Am using one of my bodies. I have the cutaway illustration of the chassis but wanted to start with something close to what a Cup car would have in 73. Thanks!

Tim, I notice on a lot of builds you use an AMT Thunderbird chassis. What donor kit does this come from? Also, are there donor kits that accurately portray mid-70's NASCAR chassis? I know that the AMT Chevelle/Laguna variants had a kind of generic chassis but is there anything you can use that is more accurate for that period?

Make that Fifteen52. They have the Tarmac wheels. Their stuff is really nice, too. I am using a set on a build I am working on.

I checked C1's site. They make another Fifteen15 style but not those. Might try to replicate them with some other things lying around.I love their wheel styles.

Love those wheels. Does C1 make copies?

Tim, do you make your own decals?

Thanks!

What color tan did you use for the interior?

Tim you do great builds. Very accurate and realistic!

Thanks!

Are you going to paint the sun visors with your interior paint? I am going to use that color on a build-it looks like GM Dark Saddle. Great looking car.

Actually not. A friend bought a kit from me and opened up the hood as well s the T tops. The bigger challenge would be the chassis so you could see the engine.

Revell 77 Monte for wheelbase and roofline. The rest is extensively modified.

If you want curbside, 77 Monte Carlo. Open hood would require some work-maybe start with a 70-72 Cutlass.
