RestoModGuy Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 My take on the '77 Pontiac Trans Am Bandit Resto-mod styled after Year One version. Mostly built out of the box with exception I added the round fog lights in the front bumper and removed the square ones in the lower air-intake. Added brass mesh in the side fender vents. Removed the molded in AC lines and made my own detail. Wheels are the kit Snowflakes inserted into Pegasus small aluminum sleeves. Trans Am and Bird decals are from Keith Marks, which are outstanding! Paint is all Duplicolor spray can with 4-polished clear coats, must say it's flawless smoothÂ
AMT68 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 That is flawless and mirrorlike paint and something I'm always attempting to accomplish in my builds. You mention 4 polished clear coats which I'm assuming means you wet sanded between coats of clear. Overall that is a spectacular build.Â
Captain Spaulding Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 That is one sharp looking Trans Am, great job.
Dennis Lacy Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Absolutely bad ass! Very nice work on the wheels. Just like the full size cars, the larger diameter wheels balance out the proportions of these cars to perfection. It’s all they need.Â
espo Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Very smooth looking paint and body. Nicely detailed interior and I agree with everyone else on the wheels.Â
Dragonhawk1066 Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 That's a beauty! The stance and wheels are fantastic, and I like your subtle change to the front bumper.
Stingray wes Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Looks flawless. Love the stance. Great work on the wheels.
RestoModGuy Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 Thanks everyone for the comments, appreciate it
MarvinGardens Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Is this the Monogram/Revell or MPC/AMT kit? Awesome build!
grodudulle77 Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 I really like the look, awesome. Your model is very neat, very nice work !!! ??
Steve H Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 The only improvement would be Burt in his cowboy hat in the driver’s seat, and Sally in the passenger seat! Great build, and as the others have said, paint is killer, wheels and stance perfect. Well done! Steve
Koellefornia Kid Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Cool! Love your improved wheels! And the paint job is so smooth...

spencer1984 Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Nicely done, I really like the way you updated the wheels.
Madhatter Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Echoing everyone else, this really is a spectacular example of this machine. It really makes me want to buy one too. I love that stance - it's perfect
