Scott Sharps Trans -Am Camaro, Darin Brassfields IMSA GTS Oldsmobile

[Hooked on Chaparral]

IF any of you folks would like to ask questions PLEASE feel free to shoot away. I would LOVE to talk about these two, I kinda put them up with a master I was doing the other day and kind of went through a change of heart. I have been away so long from this hobby I felt like maybe I was coming on a bit too brash, that ain't me! New pictures, anything, be glad to do it.

They're outstanding looking!! That is great detail on these both. I really want to get into building some kit's like seeing them more and more. Awesome job William!

What do you use to model the anodized fittings?

[Dave Van]

Wow!!! I went to a lot of T/A races.....the real cars didn't look that real!!! Nice work......

Years ago I produced a line of T/A and IMSA kits.....a few of them

Dave I talked to you here a number of years ago about your Merkur. I kinda got into this hobby when having bought a used 1987 XR4Ti I went to the Glen IMSA race to see Scott Pruett actually racing them, I noticed a Revell Motorcraft  Mustang T/A Pruett drove and the similarities and I was "hooked, line, and sinker" right there. I also had the advantage of having at the time one of the premier fully scratch built truck and oil field oddities builder in the country, Mark Savage (not the one at scale auto) he helped with a lot of stuff. This is so cool to re kindle my interests again, I have had a lot of things happen to me since 1999 (last build) and I am getting back into again with Chaparral kits.

Well the anodized fittings are from Detail Master for the most part, the "hard lines" are paper clips I would cut and shape to size. After dry fitting and making sure all was well I would then assemble them and use either a red or blue sharpie REALLY brings out the anodized look. Also the Camaro in case anybody is interested, (I wish I had removed the alignment tabs sooner) the entire inside of the body is Fred Cady Kevlar decal, kind of hard to make out from these pictures.
