Quiet Eric

Getting started on a couple more GTOs. The '68 is on the bench now...using the kit tires with Fireball wheels. Raised the back end a little bit, and added a standard grill from Iceman. I've never liked hide-a-way headlights. This will be Verdoro green.

Really nice! Great subject matter.

A couple from Sunday...

Great wheel choice and I really like the detail painted chassis!

Thanks for that tip!

You do some really nice work and your style reminds me a lot of Steve Boutte or Janne Kutja. I'm excited to see all of these projects finished.

Amazing execution and the chop looks just right.

I've realized that the chassis on this is garbage. The front suspension is pretty good, but it's nearly impossible to modify being made all one piece per side with the control arms, strut, spindle, and shock all printed as one piece. The rest of the chassis feels very generic and more like a toy. Therefore, I decided to get the stance right by whatever means necessary, regardless of accuracy. So after a little bit of hackery, this is the result. I need to space the front wheels out some but I dig it. I also need to paint the spokes a darker shade. This is the blower setup from the Revell '55 Bad Man kit I thought would work but it's just too oversized and cartoony, so I'm still hunting for just the right setup.

Nothing new on this one but the body has been in clear for a while now. It's just setting on the shelf waiting it's turn to be wrapped up.

This guy shipped his car over from Sweden and has been driving it all over the US to shows and such. He was at the Gathering at the Roc in Oklahoma this past weekend and stopped by to buy some parts I had for sale on Facebook.

I shot it with white Tamiya primer, then the "interior pearl" from Scale Finishes, followed by some Testors Dullcote.

A couple ultimate Bro-Dozer F250's with a Dodge doing the hard work.

Man, what a killer set of projects. Awesome work.

I saw this car a number of years ago at the Mecum Dallas auction and have been captivated by the color combo ever since. For the Stage 1 prototype, a one-off color, Fireglow Pearl with a pearl white interior and (originally) shag carpet. This is my attempt to replicate it. For the color, I went with Petty/STP Red with a pink pearl on top. It's a little too orange and the pearl is really hard to photograph but hey, I know what it's supposed to be. I wish I had replaced the door handles with some from Fireball and wet sanded/polished it but it looks ok in the case. Built from the GSX kit mostly box stock except for shaving the hood tach, getting rid of the chin spoiler, using Goodyear F60-15 tires from Mean Machine Models, and raising the stance out back slightly. This is the first in a series of '68-'72 GM A-bodies I have lined up to build.

Been chipping away at the '70 Buick GS Stage 1 prototype. The "shag" carpet is a bit extreme scale wise but I didn't want to not do it.
