LOL...those buicks have the same body as my '81 Monte Carlo, with different front/rear caps....

They look awesome, but something seems weird to me,(having seen that body for the last 22 years...we got the Monte brand new).

The roof seems like it should be a bit lower...the windows on the models seem taller than normal.....My real car looks like this one shown below, but in dark green..note the roofline height compared to the body side panels:

Does anyone else see it, or am I just seeing things with these ol' eyes....(blink blink*)

Other than that, I'd call them perfect....Gonna do any Oldsmobiles in the future?

Yeah, I resized the bodies to look like that, so it's not just you.

I wanted them to look kinda "Cartoonish".

Yes, I have an Olds 442, and a Monte SS too. Same body style as above. I might make them someday.

The next Buick is gonna be a really radical version next. I'm having so much fun with these things, lol.

BTW, great find Mal. Looks just like my race car, except you could drive that one on the street. That car in those pics, is really rare. They didn't make a whole lot of 70 GSX's, yellow, with a 4 gear. That dude should hold onto that one. I know I'M drooling.

I don't know anything about Buicks... but I gotta say, RF, that pink one is tooo much! Really impressed you could get that colour in MTM2.

Yep, real purdy thangs, ain't they?

Looks like we may have an all Buick league coming ;) I'm surprised you didn't put them in the Expo...

Actually that "Pink" Regal is a camera trick. It's burgundy, but lighter than the other burgundy T-type there, but it's light enough when put on a track like 204 SINE with that type of color pallete, and you position the car just right, so the light hits it really good, it looks like almost a finger nail polish type pink color.

I thought that was a cool picture myself. I didn't notice it till I put it PSP and blew it up, very cool I think.

It's finally done!

Thanks for Malibu350 for alot of his hard work, to make this possible. Now I can be happy, I have my GSX! Whoo Hoo!

I removed all the pics above, so it would be a little easier on the 56K crowd.

Sorry bro, but as it is, it would clobber most people's pc's. So it wouldn't even be close to the Vert rules, for ST competition.

BD, he took the body from the car, and put it on my ST GSX framework, the real Hemi Killer sits up alot higher, and the wheels are very different.

I won't be making this one an ST, cuz there is no way anyone can run with it. It's highly recommended for faster pc's, and I just built it to play with, it's not really for racing too many apponents, lol. Besides, I started with this car, I intended it to be an ST. But with that engine in it, it just doesn't look right with small tires. I just wanted to make a radical Buick. So I made an exact copy of the engine that was in my GSX drag car. Now if I could just get this car to go over 160 mph. lol

It looks much better the way I made it. I'll be converting a few more cars over to ST specs, and start making a few more Muscle Cars.

BTW, does anyone still have Jam n' Jim's email? I'd like to ask him to just slam down his GTO, and redo it as an ST. Car already looks cool, just needs some tweaking to be an ST. Maybe I'll check his site, and see if there is an email link there.

Nice to see my (hand-painted) radiator fans in it...I'm honored.... :D

The engine looks great.....too bad we can't put animatd BINs on trucks...a semi-transparent V8 with pistons going up and down would blow minds.... ;)
