3men2s Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 A few years back Kevin Prior contact me about making a replica of his nostalgia pro stock. After I got more info it happen to be a 1:1 replica of the Profesors Mr. Waren Johnsons Pro Stock. Funny! Art imitating art. The challenge was how because there was no resin bodies out there of this rare model of oldsmobile and less it was produced by any of the model companies. The only thing I had in my stash was this Pontiac J2000 show car kit that I wanted to built for my self. After I study the reference photos and the lines of the body I got to work with blind faith not knowing how I would get everything I needed. The graphics were very simple to get by using NASCAR DECALS. So I went to work.......

catpack68 Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Awesome work! I definitely remember that car? Edited July 21, 2020 by catpack68
mustang1989 Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Man that thing looks GREAT!!! Very good fab work to get this all turned into a Firenza. Just an all around good build Danny.
iBorg Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 I've often wondered about doing the same conversion. Yours looks straight forward. The results are outstanding.
Glen Powers Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Dan, you had the vision and produced a great clean build very nice job. Glen
lordgodbob Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Very cool. I’ve thought about building that car, glad you did and glad it’s so clean!
Daddyfink Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 That is cool! Glad there is hope for doing something else with that Pontiac!
crowe-t Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Very nice job converting this into the Oldsmobile. Did you modify the Dobbertin rear end?
