Pat Minarick Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Got some color on the Grand Prix, a little BMF and clear up next . Got a few other stalled projects in primer too. Edited April 12, 2021 by Pat Minarick
avidinha Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) #3 When I opened this kit the exhaust tip had broken off the muffler and I didn't really like it for this build anyway so I drilled a hole in the muffler and used a piece of solder to finish the tail pipe and piece of tubing for the exhaust tip. I also wanted to give the rear a piece of trim under the bumper to help it look more factory so I used a piece of strip styrene cut to the right length. I sanded a notch in the rear trim for exhaust clearance then painted it flat black. I painted the exhaust tip with some chrome paint then installed everything. I also found a license plate from my spares box. This one is in the home stretch, and should be done soon. Edited April 12, 2021 by avidinha
spencer1984 Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 These are coming along nicely! That silver looks sharp, and the Grand Prix just disappeared off the law's radar with that paint job - awesome!

Should be on most of them , but i started the Woody Magnum about 12 years ago and the others haven't been touched for awhile.

LouO Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Lots of things on this year, so I'm retiring from this years build. Good luck to everyone; things looks great so far. I'll be stopping by every now and then...

I'm feeling it too but we still have enough time to get re-interested in the challenge... I'll probably come guns-a-blazing at the end. I've just have too much life happening right now. I am interested in building that 64 Olds convertible though... ?

I'd like to see a 2007 and up Silverado bodystyle get kitted. I like that bodystyle too.

That's gonna be one mean truck, Anton. A strong contender for the most extensive re-engineering award! ?
Jantrix Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Well the weber intake isn't gonna do it. Not exactly low profile.

The latest thought.. pushrod suspension mod to make the rear suspension more interesting and give the massive tires some more space.

Pat Minarick Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 The Grand Prix still needs polished, It came out pretty good. It's not very often I build anything shiny!!
tooltime-fan Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Hey together, To get myself back into modelling and stop only collecting and to prevent my friend Rico stopps supporting me with modelling items, I like to enter with this RTR inspired 69 Mustang using some GT500 parts. What do you think?
