Installed front and rear panels and got primer on the body, but of course I forgot the hood. Rethinking that black, I've never been able to get a good black paint job. I want to use Tamiya acrylic so I'll look at what I've got, maybe a yellow or orange. Working on the engine now.

Thanks Bob. Liking it so far. This is my first Moebius kit. So far I like it.

Got this a few weeks ago. The box is damaged a little, but contents were ok. I'm thinking of painting it black, but haven't really decided yet.

Pretty in pink. Nice build.

Thanks Bill. I never think to do that.

Looks cool Michelle. Nice work.

Thanks Mike. Thanks Bob. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks Michelle. It is a nice kit. I built the custom version, but you can also build it stock from the kit. I have owned several 1:1 Buicks over the years but never a gsX. Thank you.

Calling it done. Thanks for looking and the comments. Photos in the under glass section.

Not too happy the way this one came out. Paint was not smooth and never fully dried. It's a nice kit, no problems with it, most of the problems were my fault. Paint is Testors Metallic Gold enamel, interior is Tamiya Semi Gloss Black acrylic. I lost both side mirrors moving it to the photo area, didn't even notice until I had already taken a few shots, found the driver side and got it back on, but never found the passenger side. All comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Never saw this on a kit manifold before. Firing Order. Got the trim done on the body.........front suspension and exhaust done on the chassis.

Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks Bob.

Thanks David.

Finished this nice little kit. Paint is Testor's Gloss Grape. Interior is Tamiya Cockpit Green. Engine wired, rebuilt the stock exhaust to have the pipes exit just in front of the rear tires. I forgot to take a photo of the underside. Fun kit. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Thanks Bob. The gold didn't turn out as good as I wanted, it's not very smooth. And I completely overlooked the parting lines on the C pillar. I went back and tried to sand them out and re-spray it and put another light coat all over. Looks better, but I didn't get all the lines out. I'm going with it though.

Vacuum Advance Line
bluestringer replied to bluestringer's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yea, after doing more research it seems most agree that manifold vacuum will give better performance than ported carb vacuum. Not really important on the build, the distributor has the advance and since I'm wiring it, I though I may as well run a line off it. I'm building it as a street custom per the kit. I'll run it to the manifold/tunnel ram. -
Another nice one Michelle.

Very nice Mario. Great color combo.

Vacuum Advance Line
bluestringer replied to bluestringer's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
This is the manifold, I guess it would be a tunnel ram. It has a plenum that goes on top, then the carbs. I've got a distributor that I will wire up and it has the vacuum advance on the side and so I thought I would run a hose off it.
