DoctorLarry Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 This one started as one picture of a 73 or 74 Buick Regal raced out west by Perry Cottingham. Some of his cars used Kenne-Bell Buick engines from what I've read. This is the only picture we know of of the car so some poetic license is here. My own 73 Buick Century resin body with a modified front end to look like a Regal. Coors T Bird chassis stretched. Seat modified to look like earlier models. The dash was modified to fit. Buick 455 from a Monogram Buick GSX. Resin B-O-P bellhousing and Muncie trans from Forward Resin. Acetate windows. Scratch built plumbing. PPP wheels and Monogram tires. Ink Jet decals I printed (which don't look great). As close as I can get with one picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Looks great, Doc. You don't need to increase the size over at Randy Ayers. I also love these obscure models that need a little extra research to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Thanks, Mark. I have the hardest time with photos on Randy's site. They have to be loaded in url form from a secondary site. I used to have a Photobucket site and then they got crazy so I went to another free site and it is hard to get the loads right. This site is much easier because I can upload directly from my computer. I also love these obscure builds and I just thought this looked cool.

I can download my photos from my files instead of shipping them to a host site first. Especially good when doing a wip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
