1997 Raybestos TransAm Mustang

[curt raitz]

I used the BHP Enterprises TransAM Mustang Transkit, Revell's Rain-X TransAm Camaro and a set of Slixx Decals for this build.

Once the resin transkit was cleaned up, flash wasn't bad at all, wheels are delicate...so took it easy cleaning those. The extra effort was worth it, the wheels look great compared to those in the kit.

I originally was going to use the resin body from Competition Resins, but the BHP Enterprises body is better and closer to scale

I love the look of those cars, and you did your usual fine work..don't know if I'll make it to the NNL ....car issues,money issues,etc..but if I do maybe I'll get a chance to see it live!

Looks like you nailed the look of that car. Nice work.

Beautiful build Curt. The fade is gorgeous.

Trans Am cars are some of the sexiest out there, and they turn right as well as left so that seals the deal.

It looks like the trans-kit was a cinch as well. I love it when a plan comes together.

Another GREAT build, my old friend!!

I guess that I should try to finish something before the show...I've got a '56 Chevy that's been about 90% finished for the past two years...

Fantastic build. I really like it, makes me wish I could build with that kind of detail and complex painting.
