okay guys since i've gotten so many responses on this car i took some pics of it. it is almost finished. these pics really dont do it justice at all, it looks really good in person, and pretty realistic. a lot of work went into the front clip. i changed the headlight buckets, reworked the grill, cut the bottom off of it, molded the bottom in, and reworked the flat area below the grill. i still have to create the headlight lenses and finish foiling on the car. also i have to finish the undercarriage. couldnt afford the chroming this time around so ive been foiling my ass off....anyways here's the pics, and let me know what y'all think! ~JO$H~

p.s. did i ever mention this car began as an '86 monte carlo SS aero back??????

yepp they sure do, well... they did back in the day anyways.
the one i have is an old Monogram and the manufacture date on the box is 1986

uffin:

as for your putty problem, the best stuff to use on models is......
<span style='color:green'>"Squadron Green Putty"
Testors also makes some stuff called "contour putty" both of those is for bodywork on models

yeah, that testors stuff sucks ass as far as i'm concerned. i mentioned that because i think you may be able to get it at walmart and/or micheals.

as for the squadron, thats at hobby shops. but i know your situation with that too from what i read earlier tonite in one of the posts.

i guess if you cant get it anywhere you might have to make buddy buddy with someone thats got the hookup and slide them some cash

it's the 86 SS "Aeroback"
you can pick those up at most hobby stores. it's silver on the box.

or you can try and find one of the really old ones like i have that has the normal rear window
