Could you actually order an Air Grabber hood without the blackout treatment back in the day? Nice build BTW.

[How do you prep your glue surfaces???]

I use a variety of adhesives dependent on the job at hand. I generally scrape and use Testors red thinned with Plastruct Bondene for extra "bite" I hate when pieces fall off of models. Though I have been migrating to clear two-part epoxy more and more.

['70 BOSS 302....]

Nicely done.

I love those 8-lugs. They are a nice looking wheel.

Thank you for sharing.😊

That Grand Am has pretty much the same interior/dash as that Grand Prix pictured.

A little folklore on the GP/Can Am dash. Rumor has it they ceased production of the Can Am due to supply chain issues for the dash. The Grand Prix was selling really well and was more profitable. Thus the change.

 

[Anyone Seen A Wheel Like This?]

I have these for a project that have a similar pattern. They came in this box. I have no idea where you could find them. I also found a style closer to what you are looking for online.

[El Ponchero 1969/1970 Pontiac Bonneville Boat race team]

Very creative. The front definitely screams Pontiac.

[1996 Chevrolet C-3500 Dually]

Wow! If it were not for the gloss on the side view mirrors, I would have been fooled into thinking it is a 1:1.

[Another "Convoy" Truck!]

Cool project. Following. The history lessons are interesting too.

Following. I have slightly started a 75 T-top Vette for my best friend. I may use some of your tricks.

[Revell 1969 Nova SS]

That is SWEEEET!!!! Love the red.

[Revell Peterbilt 359]

I like how you detailed the grille and the dash. I have used some of the Duplicolor rattle cans directly onto styrene but then again it was like 15-20 years ago. They have some beautiful metallic reds. Shop Craigslist for a display case I got a tall 4 shelf glass and oak cabinet for $90. I added 4 more shelves for around $53 including shipping. at max, it could hold 18 semis AND trailers.😊

Way cool build.

That engine bay looks 1:1! Great job!

I got the interior pretty much settled today on the Night Train Expedition. It carries a 40 fuel cell on top of the standard 17 gallon stock tank. I wanted it to look loaded, so I filled the back with tanks and hoses. I found the prison divider used on the police version and put it in place to keep the stuff in the back where it should be in case of emergency. The seats are from a Porsche GT3 with custom upholstery. The truck will carry a complete array of electronic surveillance and countermeasures as that used to be my job back in the Navy. The center stack between the seats has radar detectors, a CB, and some other things that could be illegal if it were real. There's an iPad on the dash in front of the passenger and if I can find room, it'll also have a laptop.

Well on your way to being a serious contender!

[1968 Chevy Chevelle SS 396]

Beautiful build(s). Tasteful color.

That is quite a BEAUTY!!!!!

[1970 Monte Carlo restoration project]

Your weathering is quite impressive and very realistic. Excellent job!

I guess that I still operate on the philosophy that every sub-assembly of a model is a model unto itself, so when I’m building an interior, I build it as if it were going to be displayed all by itself.

I use that philosophy on my more recent builds. It is time consuming, but I like the problem solving during the process and the satisfaction afterwards,

[MPC 71 Trans Am]

Love it! What paint did you use?

[71 Olds 442 W30 (replica of my brother in law’s car)]

That interior looks fantastic!

[What Do You Think?]

The intake port layout is similar to a small block Chevy. The differences that I know of are Pontiac distributors are in back and insert directly into the block. Chevys are in the back but insert through the intake. Removal of the Chevy distributor hole would be easy. The thermostat housings are in similar locations in the front. Pontiacs have a cast in connection to the timing chain cover but this is very minimal in scale. You may need to fabricate an oil fill tube depending on what was used in '64. This brings us back to... are there any 2BBL SBC intake manifolds out there? Alternately, you could just whittle the front an rear of a 4BBL cab pad down to 2BBL size.

Thanks for sharing. This is one of my Holy Grail kits. I could bite the bullet and buy one but I already have more kits than I could build in my lifetime.

[57 Chevy Bel Air Post]

Nice result on the Candy Apple Red paint. Was it a Revell or AMT kit?
