1977 Pontiac Can Am

[johnwitzke]

This one will be built after the 1973 GTO.  This is a 3D cast done by Andy Lesiak.  Like the GTO the body is free of the fine lines found in a lot of 3D cast.  Body is currently in clean up to eliminate flaws.  I am trying to decide on the final exterior color.  Do I go with Cameo White that was the factory color for the Can Am or do I go with Mandarin Orange that according to Jim Wangers 7 were built.  The Rally II wheel is painted Mandarin Orange.  Car will have Buckskin Interior a rare interior color on a Can Am.  Exterior color will be from Scale Finishes with interior paint from MCW.  Tires and Rally II wheels from Fireball Model Works.  Decals will be from Rays Kits and Decals

Go with the Mandarin Orange just to be different.👍

Can you please describe what you mean by "3D cast?"  3D printing is one method, resin casting is another.  Thank you.

Yes complete interior.  Steering wheel is either the Pontiac custom sport wheel or the standard custom three spoke wheel

Couple of photos od the body prep.  These take quite a bit of clean up work.  Have to very careful not to alter the body panel lines. Still a couple of of imperfections that need to be sorted out before paint.  Sine I cannot validate not have seen one of the orange Can Am's I have decided to go with Cameo White with Buckskin interior.

I have this picture and one other.  However, my understanding is none of the orange cars have been accounted for.
