I can't believe that it's been 15 years since I built this! Used the ERTL '70-72 style Trans Am as the base. Shaved the wheel opening flares, cut the chin spoiler off. Had to use a little filler where the flares were. Plastic style valances was made from a thin sheet of aluminum and epoxy. not much to work with underneath. IIRC, i had to cut a lot of base plastic away and was barely able to retain the screw on the underside that holds the front end together. Interior and engine are from an ERTL '73 version. Created this to test color scheme ideas i had for the car a the time. Didnt' prime it and painted the doors off the car, so there is some bleed through on the filler and a shade variation on the doors from being shot at a different angle. (Testor's Panzer Grey)
