yeah, this is the car that started all the stupid "special" paint schemes when diecast were hot. Revellogram slab side MC kit, Tamiya silver leaf for the body, Krylon poppy red (as close as i could get to the correct color with what i already had on hand) for the chassis. lowback seat and single mirror pirated from an older Grand Prix kit, and the following parts are from Jaye's Model Garage - fabulous 3d printed stuff that ain't too expensive - dash panel, steering shaft and wheel, headrest, shifter. exhaust is from and Iowa buddy that i helped with the sizing of so i got a few from him. fuel filler is from Brandon Miller, added an overflow tube from plastic tubing.

very obviously close to finish, will post in the appropriate section when done
thanks for the look, comments and criticisms are appreciated and expected
I love it, really liking all of the dash details.
Dave, Glad to see you made it over here. Your builds are always excellent. I can tell already this one is going to be fabulous too.
Looks good! I do spy my Millersport Customs fuel filler.

Weird thing with the decals, the fender "Goodwrench" decals are too big (tall). On the real car they sit below the rear quarter window and above the rear wheel fender opening. To sit properly they have to be trimmed over the fender or raised up so they sit a little bit in the window. Using a 1998 slab side Monte. Don't really get it, the other GW build i did sit where they are supposed to. Ruined one rear fender decal figuring this out... which is why i always buy 2 sheets for each build when i can. Also messed up one of the headlight outlines and had to replace it.
Still a nice-looking build.
