Man they are some sweet looking Pontiacs, I did the later one from one of Dave's RMS body's and really liked it, but after this thread I might have to do the earlier one as well.

The Boyz threw on the Tamiya Pearl Light Blue paint and will have a darker blue second color to add one of these nights.

Boyz were a little concerned about the name of this color!! But turned out over the white primer.

Boyz added a dark blue to make the two tone pop!

Looking good, Denny....buy the boys a beer! I have to ask, do you have a bottomless box full of Pioneer chassis?

I keep swapping them out, a sharp knife, and hot glue gun is all that I need!!

Move the front wheels back and forth as needed!

what has been nice is the T/A's have about the same width and length.
