dragmodels44 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Well, I did finish the White Lightening Galaxie and I think it turned out ok. It’s good enough to take a place in my TV/MOVIE collection. The final assembly was not easy. A lot of final grinding, even with all the test fitting, but its done! Thanks for looking!
TarheelRick Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Looks really good. Just like in the movie before Gator got ahold of it. Now one question, does yours have an automatic or a 4-speed? The sound track had Gator shifting gears, but when he parked it on more than one occasion he would put the column shift lever in the very up position- which in most cars is Park. Looking back over the pictures I see it has a floor shift.
dragmodels44 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 Yeah, the real on was an automatic. The few scenes he’s shifting, they never show the car he’s in, but hey, that was ‘80s movies I guess. I did mine as the 4speed as I thought it made a cool muscle car converting it to a 4 speed, which it not to say it couldn’t be done. Notice the shotgun on the passenger side... Thanks for looking
dragmodels44 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 Thanks! What a pain though it turned out decent enough to sit in the case!
Geno Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Way cool build. Love it. It's awesome to see something out of the ordinary. Way to go Steve.
espo Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Great build, it looks just like the movie car to me. The 1:1 car was such a good prop I never understood why they would destroy it so soon in the movie.
slusher Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Very sharp and awesome build! Love the movie and the build!
dragmodels44 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks for the nice comments! It’s a cool addition to the TV/MOVIE car collection!
Southern Fried Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 I like this...and I don't even know the real TV car.
Mahogany Rush Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 One of my favorite 70's movies. Great job on the car.
Sledsel Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 That the resin kit from Missing Link? Looks pretty good to me.
dragmodels44 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Posted June 6, 2018 Yes it is. I used the amt 70 Galaxie police car for the rest.
