And your lucky its only 2, well 3 if you include the one snap model.

I said lets do models, bought some, then remembered how detailed n teadious it can get if you do it right. I then went n got snap ones for craft time

Here she is the 70 Buick GSX

Adventures in model building

Ok so I remember why I stopped doing this as a kid.
Its way to much detail to get it done right or as right as I would like.
I did try how ever but in the end I said F it.

So I said screw the right way to do a GSX.

First thing was to yank off the stock intake and GSX air cleaner.
Then played with it and the high-rise manifold it comes with.
Its that 2 n1 kit to make a real GSX or a racer with dual carbs sticking out the hood.

Tried it a few way and then thought hey, I got a 2 n 1 64 GTO kit too.
Pop it open and I see a blower and a 3 duce setup in its kit.

The blower looked like the ticket but how do I rig up the belts to looks close to right.
So with some playing I got something that could look real.
Had to lose the Alt to tie in the blower belt set up but it’s a race car right?
Other side ties in near the PS pump and used the chrome shifter form the GTO to make a bracket to hold the pulley on that side. Trying to make it real as possible like it should be there.

So I have the high-rise tunnel ram intake on it, with a blower on top of that.
With the highrise carb plat on top of that, and then dual carbs with velocity stacks.

I had to do allot of trimming on the high-rise hood that came in the kit to make room for both the blower and belt, so it could open and not just be a lift off racer hood.

Other mod was using the bigger tires on the rear with the GSX rims.
I also liked the GSX side skirt grafix over the standard.
Hood and wing will stay in primer, no mirrors.
