  1. I have a 2nd gen trans am kit somewhere in this scale, i also wouldnt mind picking up the trans am GTA kit and this is a good excuse to do so.
  2. Its about as done as its going to be, picked up a drivable project thats been taking up my time lately. The other mustang in the back was painted the same color and is going to be a little dio i finally get done lol. But the mustang is ready for a run, shotgun and coke bottles stocked up.
  3. picked these up at a local toy show. Grand prix is unbuilt, the firebird was painted but it does not look like anything was put together.
  4. got this in a lot and its not something im really interested in building. everything looks like its still new. i like pontiac,audi,porsche, nissan z and gtr cars, or suprise me, i know its not a super valuable kit so ill consider trades for other kits/partially started kits/ or built kits.
  5. Thanks for the feedback, Was a great trade with steamboat here.
  6. ive got a local bike shop that sells some model kits very cheap, picked these two up for 13$ each. the T/A is definitely being kept for a build, the impala may end up getting traded if i dont build it in the next year or two.
  7. Alright im going to actually finish my entry this year. Ill be going with the Shelby G.T. 350R. may need to add a few creature comforts to the kit to make it a more realistic car for a long drive like this.
  8. every build so far looks awesome, only thing ive done on the SSR is get the parts off the trees and started prepping the body. Had 2 projects i was already working on and just finished one and the other is almost done, then the SSR will start getting updates in here.
  9. Technically got them yesterday, but still quite a score. A local bicycle shop has a huge selection of kits and they are on the cheaper side. I bought the only 2 pontiacs that werent nascar, but they had tons of vettes and camaros.
  10. My local michaels still had some but the prices are to high.
  11. Ill be doing this 2003 SSR. its goofy as hell but if richard hammond liked it, i guess ill give it a shot to.
  12. yep, just most of the time the 3rd gens are kitts, and the late model 4th gen kits are pretty difficult to find. probably not much of a market anymore for those generations i guess.
  13. I realize this is a snowballs chance in hell but, will there ever be any newer pontiac stuff? 3rd and 4th gen tran ams, G8 GXP, Solstice GXP, 97-02 grand prix coupe? i know the 3rd gens get made every so often but they are usually knight rider stuff.
  14. finally got the firebird and the camaro today- still no sign of that bonneville kit near me though.
  15. Man im glad i wasnt the only one, i recently built this kit too and the fitment of mine was awful. im not even sure what to do with it now that its built. I had an issue with another coke kit i bought at ollies, was the 70's chevy truck, chassis was warped so bad that one tire lifts up while the other three are level.
  16. funny this would pop up, I was just in the garage cleaning up and organizing parts for my 3rd gen. 85 Trans am, 305 TPI. this kit looks awesome, i do hope the details are better than the 1985 camaro revell kit, there are some glaring inaccuracies on that kit.
  17. very cool, this color scheme is iconic. Glad to see the kit is decent, ive been looking at it for quite a few months and just havent pulled the trigger. I had a 72 Formula 350 id love to try and replicate.
  18. Wow that is a beautiful looking Z kit
  19. Very nice kits, most 2nd gens look good(except for the mid 70s, those bumpers were hideous). Im personally a third gen guy, but our cars are getting hard to come by for any generation.
  20. Very nice builds, I have an 85 trans am and a 88 formula in my garage. Beautiful to look at, shame they didnt really have any decent engines until the turbo 3.8.
  21. awesome to see it opened up, when i was at HL i thought the kit was another snap together.
  22. looks cool so far, i had a 4th gen trans am kit and a viper kit set aside to do the same kind of build. this is great inspiration to get back to that soon.
  23. that carpet certainly does look bright, do you have pics of it in the car??
  24. love the karmann ghia's, they are very under appreciated compared to the bug. build looks awesome so far, Love the rim choice(have the 1:1 rims on my Trans am).
  25. yeah the bed will only be fitting 2 cars, if they were small like beetles it might fit 3. i haven't decided which GTO's will be on there yet, i think i have the three kits mentioned here. the instructions are kind of silly, but the part fitment is awful. in the pictures you can see the trailer plates do not line up because of how bowed they are, im going to try some glue and a clamp or two to see if i can make it straight. still working on some of the detail paint as well, anyone familiar with 1:1 trailers like this? should there be hoses or something for the wheels and brakes and such(brakes i assume yes). i was having a hard time finding a reference picture online.
