    Much thanks! To be fair, I picked it up and didn’t even know it was a TH until I saw your other post! Much thanks

    Goal of mine is to find one of these. Remember this one vividly from my childhood. Took this car with me everywhere. Hoping one day I can add it to the collection once again.

    First time doing premium wheel swaps on mainlines, i’d say it was a success:

    Welcome to the "I cant leave well enough alone club." Everything I look at I wonder what I can do to make it better. Now you have something nobody else has.

    Nice! I’d say it’s time for a BMC and viper cut on the Access cab though.

    It gets easier with the more you do.. That access cab was my first custom, the wheel wells are too tight and it needs to be “lifted”. I used little bits of plastic from something? and made mud flaps. Definitely need to find another one and try again maybe with some decal headlights.IMG_2625.jpg

    Thats very sick!!!

    i noticed that too, i tweeked the axles down a little bit and it seemed to help some but it does need some extra help.

    at this point, i’m wondering where is the best place to get the axles and wheels because i ordered a set of 5 axles and it was $21 from ebay. But i didnt think i’d like messing with it and i could just gift the stuff to another friend to try if i didnt like it. Now i’m wanting to mess with it more and would like some better axles/different size wheels and tires :thumbsup:

    Also, if you just take a razor blade to the bottom and the sides of the plastic on the card, It allows you to put the car back in and take it out whenever you want.IMG_3827.jpg

    I have never seen the Gran Turismo series in the wild. Add to the fact, two EG6s, you are very lucky.

    BTW, sweet Buick! NA or supercharged?
