1970 Pontiac Trans Am [Finished 5/1]

Postby dge467 » Tue Apr 09, 2019 8:56 pm

This is a old monogram 1/32 kit. Recently dragged out of the project barn. It is quite the glue bomb! I can't even remove the windows because they are so heavily glued in position. That is alright, they can just be masked off. Interior actually has some mold in it! Yuk! The body will be mounted on a Scalextric Camaro chassis. I will be modifying the kit interior to fit, and I will make a rear bulkhead to cover the motor. It is still in the mock up stages of the build.

I can't wait to see the finished car. Here is one that I did using a resin body.

Looking forward to the outcome. I used the same kit to do the Jerry Titus #8 car on a Scaley Chev Impala chassis.

Thanks for looking.

That looks great Rich!

The interior is all mocked up and ready for paint. I made the rear bulkhead from some plastic stock. The roll bar is made by soldering some solid core wire together, I have to file down the solder a bit still.

Mold on a model...can't tell you how many times I've seen that. NASTY! The re-done interior looks great!

I have always loved this car. Everytime Rich posts the picture of his I get nostalgic!

One of my first resins if I recall. I made two:

Strikes me why Scalextric haven't added the #8 Titus car to their T/A series. After all they did a one off of the #77 Challenger.

I'd have a whole collection of Titus cars if I could. As it is, I have done the Firebird/Camaro in 1/24th & 1/32nd. Then there's the yellow/black Mustang... I'm gonna go look up what else he drove.

They look great Dave!

I have got the interior finished and the body is painted with some Rustoleum blue paint.
