Has anyone started one of these kit bashes yet? I am curious to see how they mate up, size-wise.

I picked this back up again, and got the engine wired. I drilled out the oil filter adapter for the coolant lines, and will continue to add detail as it goes.

That license plate is correct for 69-71 but they changed it for 72. Odd choice by Revell to do the decals that way. Truck looks awesome. Very nice job.

I also still have that issue of Car Modeler. Its one of the first I ever bought as a kid, and I have looked at that Pontiac so many times, I can't count. He is an amazing scratch builder. I also have the SAE with the 72 Roadrunner he made. His work is inspiring, thats for sure.

The first generation Bronco was on my dream list for a long time. I was very pleased when Revell made one. I would love to see a Studebaker pickup, 1949, a stock 1972 Torino, ( I know there is that race car kit, but it seems small, anyone build that?) and a nice 1970 GTO Judge.

I love Plum Crazy with a white interior. great combination.

Got those side panels roughed in.

Greg, I plan on making sides for that. should be pretty simple, just haven't done it yet. Dominick, I have been following that build, it looks great so far. I am planning on cutting the roof off the 69 GTO i have as well, since its broke already, and I don't have glass for it. I was thinking of using the 69 chevelle for parts, but after seeing yours, might use the 72 cutlass instead.

This is very cool. I love the idea, and the execution.

Still working on my airbrush skills, but this color looks awesome.

I haven't posted anything on this car in a while. The hood gave me a lot of trouble. I couldn't quite get the seam to disappear. Oh well, driving on.

Your paint job looks very nice.

This turned out very nice. I have the 53 squire stalled on my bench as I struggle to make an interior. Do you have any pictures of how you did yours?

this is coming together great! I love the color!

Has anyone built a good looking one of these? I love this car, and the kit doesn't do it justice.

I saw this at the Goodguys show today, looks awesome in person!

This is really cool, I like the idea of creating a better box than the Willys originally came with. Great job on the weathering, too.

Thanks for the compliments, and the tips. Steve, that Cobra looks really nice, I would like to pick up one of those kits next.

Stripped all the paint off, primed in white, and even tinted the primer with a little yellow. Not sure if that helped or not, but it looks great. I painted it using Testors bright yellow. I couldn't wait, and applied the stripes. I like the way it looks so far.

Snake, I used your idea with newspaper and super glue. Seems to be pretty stiff. I mocked everything up to see how its fitting together.

The interior on this car is so nice, that I decided it should be a convertible. I am using the 69 Camaro convertible for the parts. Here goes. Does anyone know how to re-enforce this windshield frame? I'm worried it won't be very stable. I am thinking maybe some stiff wire on the backside? Who has done type of modification?

I am attempting to make the correct hood by combining the two in the kit. Its getting better, but its not quite seamless yet. The Ram Air hood that I cut the center out of has a less prominent, or lower, seam in the middle, so there is some inconsistency there. I may just knock down the seam on the front portion to make it even. not sure yet.

Dang, Mark, thats a die hard Pontiac family!

Here is the set I got from Keith Marks. He offers 4 different colors of stripes. The top decals are for the 1968 Firebird, he just put them on the same sheet.
