    You wanting to do the Lennie Pond Regal?

    Once I get the pace car done, swapping roofs will be pretty easy!

    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:

    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.
  5. DoctorLarry
    Looks great!

    I've done the 73 Grand Am before. I'm trying to duplicate the factory bumpers on the pace car here.
  7. DoctorLarry
    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.
  8. DoctorLarry
    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.

    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!

    Tim, I have two posts with pictures; Buick Brothers and 76 Century Project. Here is the 76 almost done:

    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.

    Here's a copy someone built:

    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.

    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.
  17. DoctorLarry
    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.
  18. DoctorLarry
    I have not ordered those but several other sets. Larry

    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!

    Getting close to the finish on my two Buick projects: 73 Gran Sport and 76 Century Pace Car. Down to final details on both: lights, drip rails, door handles and miscellaneous trim.

    Got a snow day Friday and worked on the pace car some more. Got the lights on the driver's side and re-worked the front end. Started on the bumpers and final touches. Added the rear spoiler so now just final sanding, adding trim and finishing up details.

    Squadron is easy to shape but relatively coarse. It sands easily and so it is good for roughing in shapes. I then follow that with Tamiya white. It is much finer and harder. Still sands easily and leaves a smoother surface. I usually get things close with this and then use automotive spot putty after this. It is basically thick primer and sands very smooth. I also use it to sharpen body lines. Then a coat of filler primer (Dupli-Color) which is thick but sands off easily. Then a fine primer and topcoat after that.

    I love Christmas vacation. No meetings, no student problems, time to rest. Got a little more done on my pace car. I still don't think the front end is right and I have to fit things, fix all of the body lines, put on marker lights and create bumpers and spoilers. I hope to have this done shortly. I modeled the car used at Pikes Peak-it had the bulged hood and T-tops.

    Here's the one I did:

    Here's what I did: The roof was actually from an Infiniti 4 door sedan. I grafted it onto one of my 77 Can Am's and then stretched the doors to make the sedan. The roof was similarly shaped and fit nicely. I filled in the shaker hole and I had a pretty much ready made sedan.
