DoctorLarry Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Saturday was raining and I could not work outside so I decided to finish a side project that I had thought about before, a 77 LeMans 4 door sedan, popular as a police car in Smokey and the Bandit. I took one of my resin 77 Pontiac Can Am bodies and cut it apart. I cut the roof off the car and removed the rear window frame. I glued on a section of an Infiniti Q45 roof and then added about 3/16" to the quarters to lengthen the wheelbase to sedan length (4" more than a sedan in 1-1). I sectioned the rear window and glued it in. I filled in the shaker hole in the hood and ground off the rear spoiler. I just need to finish the roof off and clean it up. I might cast this one if I get some free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 That would be the car I took drivers ed in back in high school. I love the work you are doing with Pontiacs of this era. I'm hoping you get them done and casted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louie Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Again Larry, awesome. I just love this. My grandparents had a 76-77 Catalina I think. I don't think it was a Lemans but I do remember that it was big, blue and had 4 doors. And it was a Pontiac. That was a very long time ago and I might not remember everything about it but I do remember all of the good old family memories that went with that car.I myself had a 73 chevelle Malibu in 86 and absolutely loved that car. Just a couple of reasons why I am soooo attracted to the body style of these cars. Larry keep up the good work and as always I look forward to following this one. Thanks.
