Bob HallThis is awesome ! Using your's as a reference ! I was relieved to see I share the same issue with you, the yellow hood stripe is a different shade of yellow and has that "just doesn't like right" vibe, but still looks great ! The Buick was probably the most over looked and forgotten of the Muscle cars ! Awesome build Bill !

Bill NewcomerThanks Robert. I nailed the stance on this one. I just wish I had the talent to paint the headlight frames body color yellow.

Bob HallI did paint mine with a fine tip brush, thinned down spray paint over the chrome.

Bill NewcomerI am not quite confident to do that yet. If I tried I would use BMF as a mask and spray it.

Allan GageI have my best luck on headlight surrounds with liquid mask (Elmer's glue) brush it on thick two or three coats, let it dry to clear and happiness. As an added bonus the surface tension seems to pull the liquid to the nearest edge making pretty nice lines and it comes off in one piece.

Album info
A basic box-stock build of a 70 GSX, one of my favorite cars. This model was my first full BMF treatment. (One of the rocker panels took 4 tries!). Additionally, the decals lined up perfectly. The hand painted rims were very time consuming but I am quite please with how they turned out. I couldn’t find any larger/wider rear tires to match the front so I made some by slicing four tires lengthwise slightly off center, I then joined the two larger halves with black RTV silicone. It is a neat trick I plan on utilizing whenever I need wider rear tires. The only things I didn’t do were the yellow hood scoop inserts and the body color headlight surrounds. I didn’t want to risk messing up such a nice result.
