Merkur XR4Ti Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 One of the first models I built when I got back into the hobby as an adult. A Stage 2 Buick GSX was faster than a Plymouth Hemi Roadrunner at the time, probably making it the fastest muscle car of the era.
Hmann68 Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Love it! I always wanted to pick up this kit but never have. Sharp!
Chuckyg1 Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Great build, one of my favorite muscle cars. What paint did you use? I have one in queue, but can't seem to find paint to match the kit decals.
Jmaracing Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Super sharp looking build. One of my favorite cars.

espo Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Great looking build. I also would like to see more views. You mentioned the performance level of these cars and you are correct. In the late '60's and early '70's I would attend races at the Orange County Raceway in Southern California before they turned into a shopping mall. There were several Stage 2 cars and they would almost always take their class wins. One guy raced a convertible that put him in another class but he was also almost unbeatable. I used to work with a guy that had a Stage 1 and it was nothing to mess with.
