  1. After completing a 1973 Grand Am and GTO front end, I took that basic master and created a 1977 Pontiac Can Am. With nothing to do at the moment, I thought I would take both of those and create a 1974/5 Grand Am. The later Grand Am's had a different quarter panel and a trunk that was more raised; this was the same basic rear body shape as the Can Am. However, the upper nose was similar to the 73 Grand Am with the exception of six grille "gills" rather than three per side. The grille bars also ran horizontally rather than vertically in the 74/75. The lower valence in the front was also different, being more like the lower front bumper of the Can Am. I took two of my own castings and cut them up. I then glued the 73 front end to the 77 rear end and cut the Can Am spoiler off. I filled in the Can Am tail lights with putty and will cut off the lower valance and replace it with the lower bumper off the Can Am. After that, I need to create a new grille area and tail lights and I will be done. Then make a mold and cast away!
  2. Flocking on the floor or carpeting?
  3. Looking good-I can't wait to see thebody in paint. Mine never got beyond primer! Maybe now that most of the parts are cast I can actually build the car I set out to create. I'm still doing door panels, seats and dash for the LeMans/GTO and I am going to do a 74/75 Grand Am and 77 4 door LeMans. I need to hurry-it is warming up outside and that means playing with the full size cars again.
  4. Here's the latest: Resin Grand Am door panels to go with dash, console and seats: LeMans/GTO interior in the works:
  5. Grand Am kit (body, tail lights, rear bumper) $30 plus shipping. Can Am kit $40 plus shipping. I do paypal. Let me know.
  6. I just finished interior parts for the Grand Am. I'm working on dash and console for the LeMans/GTO now.
  7. I also cast a 1973 Grand Am and GTO/Lemans. I am not a professional by any means so keep in mind that these are hobbyist castings that I did for fun and because I love this body style and love to build replicas. I am working on a 4 door 77 LeMans "Enforcer" sedan like the Smokey and the Bandit car now.
  8. Here is another attempt at the same car that I have cast. it is based on a 1975 Jo-Han Cutlass.
  9. Ron, I have Grand Am "horsecollar" seats and console done in resin and dash will be done this weekend, if you want to try them.
