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.

I think 1/24 and 1/25 is pretty close. I am trying to figure out a way to sculpt one but it won't be the same, i'm not that good. Even a impression in clay would work I could get some resin to make one.

ok, I have 2 formula steering wheels - 1/25 and 1/24, and a shaker from a 1978 1/24 model - I cut it a bit but should be able to be repaired.
You can have everything for shipping cost |

Thats awesome!! I woul love the wheel and the shaker with the base, I was thinking of using the roof I cut off to make the base but if I can get one...
Shipping sounds good to me, lets move the dirty deal to the PM's I'm excited. Andre, I posted some of the initial pics in this thread. OK I am not the best model builder and it is a learning process, but so far I am happy with the results. I will start a new thread when I get done and post all the pics. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=647809

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
