Thanks! I followed the body lines and looked a bit at the older ones to se what they had done before. These are much more subtitle as you say, much due to the dark color. Thanks David!

The 2022 Cannonball Run Year of Birth Build Thread
Mattilacken replied to disconovaman's topic in Community Builds
#1 change of plan.. Last year I switched from a truck to a coupe.. this year I am doing the opposite.. the bmw is nice but since this build will be a representation of my self I feel that I should actually build a GM. so being born in October of 1987 I could actually build a Chevy C1500 sold as 1988, they actually launched in April 1987 according to manny sources. And the best looking one actually launched in 1990 the 454SS. Same body as 1987 just some plastic changed and the 454 engine came in. So by stretching it a bit I will be building a 454SS “clone” if you like. That’s if it seems ok with you guys? I think these wheels and tires though.. the stock tires are damaged in a bad cast and the stock wheels would need a visit in the lathe to turn down the thickness of the edge to look good. But this looks good to me. AMT stock car wheels and MPC Pepsi Chevelle tires which ar threaded. best tire for stock look, monogram GTO judge tires. Not sure on the hight.. -
Cool! Epic paint Jobb!! engine looks sweet!

Thanks! They are cool looking, I think the small spoiler helps to finish it of. thanks! Cool! I had a ‘77 Malibu back In the day so these are also my cup of Tea! Thanks! Thanks Steve! I am good thank you, busy with my new position at work, family and all summer projects? and you? Thanks m8, as you guess it could be lower but my Formel 1 replay yesterday and the 10 last minutes of Indy 500, and a Swedish win! Did only stretch so far ? yes I wish so to, as well as the Chevelle of the same era. It’s the same color as the Supra but with more clear, looks almost black in manny lights. I was biding on a second one not long ago but lost it. ? thanks! It’s a typical stance I believe with big and little ? thanks m8! Thank you sir! Thanks! It took some effort to make it look god, had some bad luck with the black for the steipes and a mishap with the air brush. But turned out ok with some polish. ?

Made a quick build of this original snapper I got on a second hand site like the e bay. Paint is Tamiya Gun Metal with tamiya clear and painted stripes. Nothing fancy and I did not even make new holes for the wheel axles but it sits ok. A bit to high for my taste but looks period correct. thanks for watching any comments are welcome. To show the stripes better.
