crispy Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 That is looking really good. Nice job blending the parts together with the subtle differences. I'm digging the engine with exception to the blower part with shaker on top, it looks kind of jimmy rigged. Just my opinion. It will probably look better once you get it in the car and more completed. I'm working on the Jimmy Flintstone piece and probably would have thrown it away if it were mine, but it is being built for a friend who wanted one in his collection. Look forward to the completed model. Chris

vizio93 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 wow man that concept looks better than the camaro in my opinion. can't wait to see some more in progress pics.
RodneyBad Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 The Real Concept looks still too Camaro. Now the Model on the other hand. Looks like a FireBird.. Body work looks Fantastic. Interior with the old looks great.. Great way to bring the past to the Present..

Dang that's a hell of a Pontiac, too bad GM is dropping pontiac next year, I love old Pontiac's especially F body's.
Trans Am Erik Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 Brought this one out of moth balls because of getting a new set of wheels. The Pegasus wheels were the closest thing I could find to a 20" snowflake wheel but I never really liked them. The new wheels are a true deep dish snowflake wheel.
Trans Am Erik Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 Erik, I'm not sure if you noticed or not but those Pegasus wheels are 2-peice. You can make them deeper by sanding down the outer edge of the inserts. You could make them almost 1/8 " deeper that way. Honestly, I'm not liking the new wheels. The centers are too small. I'm wondering if any of the Monogram 1/20 t/As ever came with snowflakes. If they did, I'd think they'd look about perfect on there. They'd scale out to about 19" or so, just right for Pegasus Michlin Pilots or you could sleeve them for larger tires. That is what I did, I popped the centers out of the Pegasus wheels and popped in these. I have tried and couldn't find a big inch snowflake wheel that looked right. The big Trans Am kit was a 1:12 and those were too big. I would like the snowflake pattern to be bigger but after their painted they will look good.
camaroman Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 what about these??? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resin-Pro-Touring-20-Pontiac-Snowflake-Wheels-/321019623959?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item4abe42ba17 I can vouch for the quality of workmanship of this sellers other wheels, as Tony the Tiger says, they're great!!!

scalemodelworld Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 That is one sweet looking ride. I LOVE the stance on it and the way you've managed to stay true to the original styling.
Mike Muncy Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Erik, this thing is looking awesome. I cannot wait to see the finished product, the wheels look good.
BKcustoms Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 This is looking great, the paint turned out awesome!
Tony T Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Good to see this back on the bench, Erik. Looks good!
Trans Am Erik Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 I am not pleased with the paint, i am out of practice. It will get redone before the November show.
