Beautifully done. I wanted one all through my twenties... Guess I'll have to settle for the Hot wheel version.

Beautiful model!  This car was the "Dream Car" of every guy in my high school class.  It would look great parked next to the Snowman's Kenworth

Thank you all for the kind words!

It was once piece so it was acually quite easy! The pin striping was a bit of a challenge but it worked out.

 

The gloss coat didnt want to play right but I think that was because I used a matte black undercoat.

Well you better hurry becuase it's a long way to go and a short time to get there. You better do what they say can't be done!

Funny you mention that. It does come with a cowboy hat! I was going to make a CB antenna and hang it on the top. I might still do that!

Looks great. I used to own a 75 Trans Am back in the day. I sure miss it now. You did a great job.

I LOVE these cars!! I SOOO wanted one of these when I was a kid and now that I'm older these things are pretty much untouchable. 

 You represented this one very well and love what you have done with it. Great paint and decaling bring this puppy home nicely!! Yes

We had that car.  Got to display it out in front of a theater and got free admission to the debut of 'Smokey' when it hit the theaters.  Smile
