Anyone have an old trans am model they want to part out?
I'm building a AMT 1-25 72 GTO model into a 72 Lemans convertable and need a formula wheel and a shaker scoop to match my Lemans. Yes I have a shaker on me Lemans, long story. I don't want to buy a TA model just to get 2 parts.
I have the engine done and detailed nicely, added a home made dual snorkel air cleaner, A/C and some other goodies that did not come with the kit. I switched it back into a automatic by modding the center console and put in a his and hers shifter which I made out of scrap plastic that came with the kit. I built a gto spoiler out of scrap too. The top is chopped into a convertable and I successfully turned the enduro front end into a regular Lemans, even got the grills right I need a small piece of orange reflective tape to finish the valence- I need it for parking lamps. I am suprised how good it is coming out since I havent built a model in like 30 years.
The kit is alright though rough, does not come with windshield, fan shroud, and some detail is lacking or incorrect, I do not know how far I will get into it but so far so good. I'm still thinking of a way to make a top boot since I want it top down for now.
